1. Brief description

“live2screen” is a project resulting from the 2006 Autumn term Rapid Mobile Prototyping workshop at Media Lab, University of Art and Design Helsinki. This application provides a means to interact between a mobile phone and a screen. It is a hybrid application with two sides: mobile side and display side. The live2Screen display side has 3 areas: “liveText”, “liveImages” and “liveIcons”. All areas have one thing in common: the user sends information through a mobile phone, which is then used to change animations shown on a large screen.

2. liveText

With liveText, the user writes and sends text messages, and that text information is sent to the server, which adds the message to a pool of past messages. Then Flash retrieves the information, picks a random message from the pool and animates it. When a animation ends, the process starts again. Pressing a key manually changes the message. Random fonts are used for each message, and by pressing a key the font is manually changed.
