Protothon and the Chrome team from Google called creative developers and developed creatives for a day of inspiration and innovation. Those chosen formed interdisciplinary teams that within one day prototyped applications and experiences pushing the Web Audio and WebRTC APIs to their limits.
These technologies enable real-time audio, video and data communication without the need to download any extra program or plugin. For designers, musicians and storytellers this technology allows you to create and affect visuals, sound and video in real time over the web. Developers can hack and build interactive media experience with JavaScript alone, allowing more access and experimentation.
There were inspirational talks, technical support from Google experts and feedback sessions. The event concluded with presentations of each prototype & an afterparty.
Check out all the prototypes here.

Stuart Memo blew the audience away at the recent JSConf EU with a presentation involving an electric guitar and Web Audio. We thought we had to have a piece of that.
