Even non musicians- the OSC protocol is used a lot in HCI research for prototyping (TUIO is built on top of OSC). For my master's thesis, I implemented a system that allowed a user to seamlessly transfer content (an open picture, playing video, etc.) from device to device in a room (phone, pads, tabletop computers, etc.), and the protocol gluing everything together was built upon OSC.
Thanks both for taking the time to check this out and offer these insights and links - I was so blown away by the UI on the Star Wars demo I was sure they'd probably developed it themselves. Looks like I didn't need to build these at all! (Although I will be rebuilding these using SVG and doing tutorials on them as I go along).
Any chance you'll put this on github? It would be amazing to use this style of retro-futuristic UI to control my laser hardware in realtime. Plus it's Star Wars. :)
Great work! It looks fantastic.
Yeah I'll get them up there at some point. The code is less than presentable right now though - I'm slightly embarrassed by it ;)
