slider sync joy !!

Ok, these screenshots of mimas are not very impressive but they are a proof of concept.

two interfaces, one value

Let me get into the details: the two windows are two instances of mimas, each of which has a zeroconf browser opened listening for “oscit” devices on the network. Each application has found the same two devices “beatbox” and “receive”. Through automated url discovery using oscit protocol, the browsers have discovered that there is a "beatbox"/tempo url that can be represented with a slider (range). The slider’s minimum and maximum values represent the advertised type of “tempo” and moving the value of one slider updates the other one (since both are registered as observers).

This is just the beginning, but it works damn well for a first shot and its the basis upon which all the rest will be built.

Once the patterns of what does what are clear, the rest is much easier…

Let’s code this into iOscit (iPhone app) !
