I just found a very exciting demo from Ryan Stewart on how to mash up Google Maps 3D APIs and Air 2 multitouch gestures.
You can find his experiment’s source code on his blog here with a great video demo.

By the way, I started looking at the video from YouTube and noticed a new awesome feature: audio transcription and audio translation! w00t!
I tried out that wonderful piece of technology. I am Italian, so I tried to translate it on the fly…the result was ASTONISHING: no word was translated correctly, no sentence had a real meaning, if you run a Math.random() on the italian dictionary and start making a speech you’re likely having something better.

I guessed the problem was with the translation, but I was wrong :\
at 1′46” you can find out that “To change the rules the perspective of a man San Diego freemen will concede you and all of the police on the street is the ability to going to fly over the map, she’s the perspective”… wtf!?
at 2′25” is even better: “but combining the there to gestures and grownups three the FBI a critic of the Iraq war unique way to browse and that’s really true that Bosnia really customize how the contents of the views that no one of the three demoted from a player and disturbing experience”….

Cool! An Adobe evangelist talking about Iraq war, FBI and Bosnia while free men will concede to you in San Diego…
Please, don’t trust that feature.

Did you remember “Pacifica” project? Now it’ [UPDATE: Adobe Stratus is a rendezvous service for RTMFP, a new protocol built in to Flash Player 10 and AIR 1.5. Neither RTMFP nor Stratus are related to the project codenamed Pacifica.] Something new is on adobe labs and its name is “Stratus“..WONDERFUL!

Let’s explain what i’m talking about:

Stratus is “hosted rendezvous service that aids establishing communications between Flash Player endpoints”.
This technology enables clients’ flash player (10 +, or AIR 1.5) to connect directly each other to share runtime informations…actually PEER TO PEER!! (underline this: Stratus is a service by Adobe, not a technology to run on own servers).

Stratus does support only “end to end” p2p, multicast or swarming are not supported. This means we’re not enabled to create a new air-mule service over stratus, but we can build our p2p video chat, p2p real time games, etc…

Stratus introduces a new data transfer protocol: RTMFP, which uses UDP instead of clean RTMP which uses TCP. (note, RTMFP is not RTMP*, which is the encrypted protocol for FMS).

Stratus is now beta, and you can test a sample application hosted on the labs Stratus page…

Stratus is going to be released next year (hopefully “early”) …it seems we’re going to have real time “anything” in few months

This could be a new red pill for our webapps,
Stay tuned
