The Uplay Concept:
Make and Play Your Own Instrument
The advancement of flexible touch screen technologies just
expanded the possibilities in the realm of music…
And the possibilities are endless…
Design
•Hybrid instruments
•How you play them
•How they look
•Save instrument templates
Radical Ideas
•Network via the Internet with your
orchestra
•Learn & teach music in a new way
•Unleash your imagination!

Web Browser XDP Project
Image adapted by Mark Shaffer
The Problem:
Currently, web browsers are single-threaded, stateless
environment for client development in JavaScript. Logic
takes time to implement, resulting in this error:
![Page 16: Into the twilight zone innovations for education](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/55495b7eb4c905e94e8b52a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Web Browser Threading
If you implement tasks within a browser that take a long time to
process, you block the single thread of the browser.
Solution for Web browser development and the ECMAScript:
The use of a simple threading function to permit complex tasks
to run in the background without affecting the browser’s thread.
It favors simplicity over parallel processing and synchronization
logic and supports a 10-million loop process efficiently.

Augmented Social Reality Gaming
ASR Applications links social media and the real world through smart phone
applications
ASR Assassin, a team-based game like laser tag
Concept: cooperative work to track and tag the opposition in the real world
with direct line of sight
Phase 1: Integration with Facebook – app installed and user discoverable
Phase 2: Integration with social media platforms
Later phases: video feed integration with Facebook
