Latest web-based research

Had another conference with Marina and Ruari again today; not only is Marina progressing nicely with the dream sequence, but Ruari has provided me with a copy of the ELIZA-style question and keyword sequence so I can code it over the weekend.

Some of the latest web resources I'll be trying:

http://www.phord.com/keyblock.html - blocks a number of keys for kiosk-based apps which include:

  • Ctrl-Alt-Del
  • Ctrl-Esc
  • Alt-Esc,
  • Alt-Shift-Esc
  • Alt-Tab,
  • Alt-Shift-Tab
  • Ctrl-Q
  • Ctrl-W
  • Alt-F4
  • Right Windows key
  • Left Windows key
  • Applications key
providing it is XP-compatible that will enhance the user's experience nicely!

http://xtras.tabuleiro.com/products/web/index.tdb - enables web-browsing capabilities within Director, should help with the ELIZA-based JavaScript. (Tested and works with the project - although you need to purchase and register it first!)

http://webcamxtra.sourceforge.net/download.shtml - webcam integration within Director.
