Abstract:
Distributed performance systems present many challenges to the artist inmanaging performance information, distribution and coordination of interface tomany users, and cross platform support to provide a reasonable level ofinteraction to the widest possible user base.Now that many features of HTML 5 are implemented, powerful browser basedinterfaces can be utilized for distribution across a variety of static andmobile devices. The author proposes leveraging the power of a web applicationto handle distribution of user interfaces and passing interactions via OSC toand from realtime audio/video processing software. Interfaces developed in thisfashion can reach potential performers by distributing a unique user interfaceto any device with a browser anywhere in the world.
