The “Control Darren” Project

I’m doing a little side project at work, based on some stuff that the MIT Media Lab have. We want to do video representations of instant messaging status. So, instead of just having a, “darren is away” message you’d get a video of me showing that I’m away. It’s not for anything all that useful, we just thought it’d be cool and funny.

As a first step, I needed to build a flash video player that could respond to some javascript messages and queue up the appropriate combination of video clips for that status. Next step is connecting it to the Sametime server, but for now feel free to Control Darren.

  • Thunderbirds!

    Actually, it’s a bit freaky. I’m scared.

  • Yeah it is very thunderbirds. The thing we want to do is actually like those framed pictures in Harry Potter. :-)
