Hi folks,
*We've updated the speakers for the night bellow. Feel free to spread the word among fellow developers and invite them to join us!
Developer Demos - 15min each + Q&A
1) Jack Lawson will talk about how WebSockets provide a great way to handle connections between players and servers. It's surprisingly easy to set up and use a socket connection to transmit game state. He'll briefly walk us through the technology and set up a quick demo of a game client and server.
2) Makis Tracend will be talking about the benefits of using established conventions of web development ( css styles & markup ) for creating WebGL games in a fast-paced / quick prototyping manner
3) Ben McChesney will demo Hand Ribbon - a close range interaction piece that allows for a user to draw ribbons in 3D space and and pinch and grab to move around the scene
4) Iker Jamardo will be demoing the highly successful iBasket - fully developed in HTML5 game with 16M downloads; he will identify some interesting topics/code snippets in javascript and talk about the pros and cons of HTML5 by itself
After the pizza & networking break, we will see a comprehensive showcase of the Intel® Perceptual Computing SDK and its potential to power the new generation of games and interactive apps.
In addition, Bob Duffy will set up a demo of creating sensor calibration controls within your game.
There will be an Ultrabooks sandbox available to play with during the evening and we will wrap up the meetup with an awesome swag raffle.
See you all soon!

All that 7 developer perceptual computing challenge I discussed at the meetup is now public. Follow #ultimatecoder on Twitter. Here is a link to an early post. Much more on this. Some good content to follow

Also you'll find links to Perceptual Computing in that post. Request your camera now and get in that open contest. Less than 30 days left

Looking forward to the meetup. Intel will be showing its Perceptual Computing demo and we will have Ultrabooks with touch and sensor technology hooked up with a demo camera so you can gets hands on with the technology.
If there is more you'd like to see from Intel, let me know.

Bob, any chance of a Perceptual Computing SDK and Ultrabook event down the Peninsula? Say at the great Intel auditorium on Juliette lane in Santa Clara :-) ?

My demo and instructions to run it can be picked up at https://github.com/ajacksified/websockets-workshop if you want to follow along during my presentation.
