Experiments in fun integration
Byte.co (One / Peach / etc.) approached me looking to concept creative applications of their feed-based V1 platform that differed from the prototype mobile app they had built. Working with them once a week over the course of three months the result included:
Byte Mod, a mod for the popular game Minecraft that provided a simple API for connect a Byte / One account and requesting individual or multiple information streams. The first application was allowing players to connect streams to specially built in-game signs, later applications discussed were visualizing Byte feeds over time or pulling image Bytes feeds in-game.
Byte Display, a single task dedicated device for viewing one's Byte streams. It provides a rotating slideshow of all of a user's Bytes making a simple go to for keeping up to date. Later features discussed were gesture interaction for manipulating the device.
