Research Notes
Background
Begin with background on processing project and language Casey Reas, and Ben Fry
talk about processing.js port and purpose, processing.js panel, and meeting with Resig and Fry
talk about audio background and work that's been done by Dave, Corban, Yuri, etc.
discuss advantages of no plugins as compared to java or adobe flash and audio plugins
Discuss examples
Processing language in introduction to computer science honors. Processing.js used in teaching several courses in science, physics, design, digital art
Daniel Shiffman video points
WebGL component and examples
Audio component and examples
combinations of processing.js, audio, cubicVR, and webgl in projects
Mozilla ties to the projects
give examples of usage around the web in totally unrelated projects to Seneca or Mozilla
Big companies and others usage examples
IBM facebook, Mozilla fotn project, University teaching, Arcade Fire - wilderness downtown
My observations
observations about these examples and their impacts. discuss interviews and testimonials
