Brass Monkey is at its core a networking library for interconnecting mobile devices and displays over a local WIFI. Brass Monkey’s primary use is as a controller, where a mobile device (say an iPhone) uses its built in controls like an accelerometer to communicate to a web based experience (Flash/Flex, Unity3D). Chris will show how to use the SDK, and demonstrate many of the possibilities this new technology opens up to developers and designers alike.
