Hallo!
Maybe this is a little bit ot, but it's also PD related, so I wanted to ask you for suggestions ...
I'm just starting a project at the university, which should be a remote control for PD, Supercollider, MAX, ... (all OSC-able programs) on a PDA, which can be used to fine-tune sound-installations, or as a performance instrument... (something similar to http://www.grenzenlosefreiheit.de) It should be a simple GUI, with that you can send OSC messages.
The user can create the GUI in the following ways:
- via specific OSC messages you can create GUI elements from the central computer (so in PD or Supercollider ...) with a kind of automatic layout - so you don't have to do it on the PDA
- on the PDA you can add GUI elements with automatic layout (so thats really easy to use and you don't have to read a tutorial etc.)
- you should be able to make more complex GUIs with QT-Designer (I will implement it in Qt/C++) - okay, now maybe you have to read a small tutorial ... ;)
The PDAs should also be networked, so that you can use multiple PDAs and if someone changes a specific OSC message the value should also be changed on the other PDAs.
I just wanted to put this on the list before I start to code. Maybe someone has some additional ideas, comments or criticism ...
Thank you, LG Georg
