Re: Introducing ColorSync which using multi-device timing technology

Thank you Akira

I like the colorsync idea, and I think you are quite right about the
relevance for multi-device timing.

Multi-device timing has a lot of very different use-cases, multi-device
media playback is really just the tip of the iceberg. Usage for human
ticket identification is a great idea, as it exploits humans keen ability
to detect synchronization errors (and possibly makes tickets harder to
fake).

I never thought of ticketing as a use-case, but we did in fact make a demo
before that looked very much like the colorsync demo - we made a mobile
carried glow-stick to bring to a concert - where colors across the audience
would synchronize with the concert music, thus effectively becoming part of
the light-show.  :)

Anyway, even though I did not go into the github code in detail, I'm pretty
sure the generic concepts for multi-device timing that we are advocating in
this group should cover your needs :)

Best,

Ingar Arntzen
