ZETZ IS A PSEUDO TOOL WICH CONNECT SERVERAL USERS INTO A NON
CONVENCIONAL INTERFACE. EXPERIENCE ORIENTED, ZETZ IS NOT LOOKING FOR BE A REAL TOOL WHICH YOU
WILL USE TO IMPROVE YOUR WORK. INSTEAD OF THIS, ZETZ IS LOOKING TO ENJOY YOU, ZETZ IS LOOKING YOU TO
THINK THE 'INTERFACE' AS WHAT IT REALLY IS, A WAY TO ACCESS INFORMATION USING ALL THE FREEDOM THAT THIS MEANS.
....................ZETZ IS DIVIDED IN TWO DIFFERENT PARTS.
SKIMO
SKIMO IS A GRAPHIC EXPERIENCE, A WAY TO JOIN USERS TOGHETHER ON A EMULATED 3D PLACE.

EVERY SINGLE USER HAS A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC UBICATION ON THIS 3D PLACE, THIS WILL BE CALLED USER STATION.

ON THOSE STATIONS, THAT OTHER USERS WILL ARRIVE (LITERALLY THEY ARRIVE!), YOU WILL FIND HIS WEBCAM VIDEO AND YOU WILL HEAR HIS
MICROPHONE.

SKIMO AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH BETWEEN USERS ACCORDING THEY ARE SPEAKING
OR NOT SPEAKING.

SKIMO RUNS UNDER A CUSTOM 3D ENGINE DEVELOPED IN MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004 POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAP THE FLOOR

.CODE LAB
CODE LAB IS WHERE USERS COULD POST AND READ OTHER'S POSTS, IN ORDER TO SOLVE GROUP'S PROBLEM.
THE EXCUSE IS A CODING FORUM, WHERE USERS COULD HELP EACH OTHER TO FIND A SOLUTIONS TO USER'S CODING PROBLEMS.
CODELAB HAS AN INTERFACE THAT WILL ENJOY YOU WHILE YOU USE IT, EVENTS AS 'NEW CODE', 'CODE DELETED', AND MANY OTHERS WILL PRODUCE SOME GRAPHIC ANIMATION.
WHEN YOU RELEASE A PROBLEM, OTHER USERES COULD OWN THEM, ,MODIFY THEM AND RELEASE IT AGAIN. THEN OTHER USER COULD DO THE SAME. AND THEN OTHER. AND SO ON. FINALLY SOMEONE SOLVE THE ISSUE AND THE POST COULD BE DELETED BY THE ACTUAL OWNER
GOT IT?

Girl1: Hey, everything is real now. Flying around, playing with the cameras…
We can share our code all around the world. Everybody can help us!!!!
Guy: Yes, after a lot of work the Zetz is now seeing the light… No, it is not seeing the light. It is the light of the New Road.
Girl1: that’s true!!!
Guy: Ok see you later my cat is hungry!!!

arrrgghhhh...see? you have a great idea, you share it with your partners and start working on it, keeping it as a little secret...and what for? grrr...damned internet...well, not really, but dammit!
what happened? we started on this project some time ago as an accident, sort of, we'd been playing around with FCS and one day...

girl1: hey, let's take this little video chat and put it inside the flash IDE!
guy1: now wait! let's make it a collaboration tool to share code in it...you know, something we would use a lot!
guy2: alright! but let's make it look amazing and be incredible to use!

so, zetz (code name skimo) was born, and everything went smoothly and fun...until one day, while reading our favorite flash blogs we came upon one post saying "hey we played around and put a video chat inside the flash IDE"...can you imagine the sorrow? girl1 crying her lungs out, guy2 almost jumping through the window...it was awfull...

what happened next? we decided to release our project to the public, let you sneak peek a bit and try out when be beta release...well isn't that nice?

I think this add-on will change everything.
Its the first time that a designer [me] takes control of a crew of well respected coders and graphic designers with the only propose of making an add-on that rocks!!! [and its usefull too]
Imagine an interface that lets you move arround it instead of just use it.
its like flying, you must see it.
well its late and i'm hungry.
cya soon
