Abstract

Fiddling with Phidgets

Everyone has seen lots of Rich Internet Applications on the web and on the desktop using Flash, Flex and AIR.

Awesome games with mind blowing (3D) graphics and astonishing real-time business applications are actually just the tip of the iceberg.

In this session you’ll learn about coupling these cross-platform and cross-device technologies to hardware such as motors, sensors and RFIDs, which allows you to create all kinds of robots and some real world fun and games.

To take it even one step further you’ll discover how you can take advantage of mobile devices to take control of that hardware. Whether it’s domotics, robots or games, the only limit is your imagination…
