La réunion se déroulera à la maison des associations, 15 rue des Savoises [map], salle Albert Jacquard, le mardi 17 Novembre à 19h00.

l’AUGG a le plaisir d’accueillir Killian et Daniel de busfront, pour une présentation de leur Framework Media Open source.

“Le Framework as3 EPP, développé par Busfront, permet de standardiser et de faciliter le développement d’applications riches manipulant des contenus multimédias (vidéo, audio, image ou collection de médias).
EPP est un logiciel libre (licence GNU GPL3) compatible as3 (flash et flex).”

La réunion se déroulera chez nos amis des Ateliers Nomades [map], le mardi 3 Février à 19h00. Pour cette première réunion de l’année, nous aurons la chance d’avoir une conférence de Renaud Ott.

Assistant de recherche à l’EPFL, il s’intéresse aux applications de Réalité virtuelle et plus particulièrement aux interfaces haptiques.

Renaud vous présentera sa thèse de doctorat qu’il vous expose en ces termes:

” In this presentation, I will introduce you a research topic whose popularity is increasing : HAPTICS.
Haptics (from greek (Haphe) : to touch) is the touch simulation in Virtual Reality.
This is done by the mean of specific peripherals allowing the user to feel forces or vibration, which increase the realism.
A Force Feedback joystick or a steering wheel enter in this category, but I can also cite more advanced device like the Haptic Workstation that we have at EPFL (see the picture).

I will deal with:

• 3D Virtual Environments: how to create (program) them, and display them (on a screen, a HMD, a CAVE).

• Haptic devices: I will give a description of the hardware devices, presenting the specifications, etc.

• Haptic Applications: how to manipulate objects in a Virtual Environment as if it was the reality, what are the challenges, the issues, and the solutions ? What will it bring in the future ?

I will be pleased to answer any questions that you can have about 3D graphics or Virtual Reality. “

Renaud Ott.

A la fin de la conférence, je vous exposerai brièvement le nouvel outil mis à disposition par ADOBE pour les User groups.

Et vous convierai à partager pizzas et limoncellos.

Salutations,

Thierry

Hello everyone,
as promised last week during my presentation, I have cleaned up the basic demo about skinning a button based on Scalenine demo.
Please find it on my blog:Skin a button with Gumbo Flex 4 demo

What is Gumbo? Is it spicy? What kind of event a shrimp dispatch? Is it possible to mix it with cheese and fondue?

Gumbo definition (from wikipedia): ”Gumbo is a stew or soup originating in Louisiana, and found across the Gulf Coast of the United States and into the U.S. South. It consists primarily of a strong stock, meat and/or shellfish, a thickener, and the vegetable “holy trinity” of celery, bell peppers and onion. ”

Thierry Bertossa and I are giving a presentation on Flex 4 (code named Gumbo) at the Adobe User Group Geneva tonight.
This presentation is an introduction to Flex 4 which should make you understand what conceptual approach will be the roots of Flex 4 and should help you getting started with it.

Thierry will start about what’s new in Gumbo and what significant changes and improvements are to come.
I will concentrate on the part “Design In  Mind” which is one of the main conceptual objectives of Flex 4 (Gumbo) as described by Adobe.

Please find below the plan of my section of the presentation:
Introduction
Drawing API + FXG (with Demo)
Skinning, States and Transitions (with Demo)
Thermo
New Text object and Vellum
Flash and Pixel Bender aka Hydra (quick)

Please note that no Gumbo soup will be served during the presentation in order to avoid any accident.
I am looking forward to seeing you tonight.
Have a nice day.
