(May 12, 2004, San Francisco,
CA) MakingThings, a boutique design & technology
firm that specializes in the creation of rapid prototyping and development
tools, released version 1.0 of its Teleo Flash Class Library today.
This library enables Flash developers to easily create applications
that range from interactive works of art to interactive kiosks and
window displays to interactive museum installations and environments.
The new Flash Class Library gives Flash developers access to MakingThings
line of easy-to-use and affordable development tools call Teleo.
These tools consist of modular and networkable hardware components
that connect to the computer via USB and that are controlled through
an XML server, which is downloadable for free from the company's
web site.
"This opens up a whole new world of possibility for developers,"
says MakingThings co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, David
Williams. "With Teleo(tm), any Flash developer can now move
beyond the computer and create physically interactive projects that
combine a broad range of sensors with a wide assortment of external
motors, servos and LEDs. In addition, applications can be controlled
locally from any computer or, remotely, via a standard web browser."
The price of getting started with Teleo and the Teleo Flash Class
Library is $149 and is available for the Mac, Windows and Linux
platforms. Additional modules and functionality can be added incrementally
as needed.
For a detailed look at the Teleo tool set and price list, as well
