New Application to Omniverse NUI list

| Thursday, 30 July 2009
I can't help myself to browse around the Internet and looking for new cool things coming out. This is something I found as they announced it at Google IO but never found a use for using their API's.

Well now I have. I'm going to add a Google Wave client to Omniverse NUI. If you haven't heard about Google Wave you should have a look at the demo at the end of the post. But why? Well first of all I find the way Google Wave (GW from now on) does communication is unique, innovative and inspiring. It matches exactly what I would like to see happening on Omniverse. Fast instant communication independent on location.

Exactly how I will create this client is as everything else about this project still being planed. And also only on 3:ed place in the priority list. But It might be bumped up depending on how big it grows. The fun part of it is that as soon as I looked at the demo I could come up with at least 5 different UI interfaces that would help communication with Wave and it might become a fundamental part of Omniverse since it is a open protocol. As soon as I get my developer account I will make a deeper dive into the API and decide on what use I have for it and it's priority.

Here is the video I promised, Enjoy. (Ps you can skip the first 5 min cause its most crap talk)
