RIA / Desktop Applications

Besides Websites I also do traditional application programming. My biggest project so far was the so called “Konfabulator 0009″, a virtual “time travel”-project done for the German Landesmuseum Detmold. The five characters from the screenshot above (who are moving, we filmed them in front of a greenscreen and then keyed them
) can be chosen via a Touchscreen and asked different question which will then be answered by playing HD-videos on a beamer.
Technology: Adobe AIR 1.5 / AS3 / XML
Amongst the features are:
- Voice Control
The whole application can be controlled via voice commands by museum staff (utilizing Dragon Natural Speaking)
- Motion Detector
Via a webcam the system acknowledges when someone enters the room and then plays a greetings video in case the system is idle
- Transparent Videos
For the interface, we filmed the actor in front of a greenscreen, keyed in AfterEfects and then used the videos with transparent background as Buttons
- Autonomous system
The whole system (PC + Beamer) switches itself on and off according to the museum’s opening hours, using Timer-software, the Konfabulator starts automatically, so that museum staff doesn’t have to care about that

- Oh! Twitter! You still here!
- @apfelmade Wow, 3d ... that means the studio has faith in it!
- @apfelmade Aber das ist einfach: Noomi Rapace und Stephen Fry spielen mit, und einer von beiden ist nackt zu sehen. Sag ihm nur nicht wer.
