Open Screen Project and Duran Duran

By John Wilker | May 3, 2008

Last night my girlfriend Linda took me to see a Duran Duran concert in Concord. It was a funny flashback to the 80’s and aging rock stars aside, it was great fun. At one point in the concert the band went into a slow song and the lights dimmed causing the audience to pull out their phones and a few remaining lighters. The thing that struck me was there was a single computer on stage, an Apple MacBook Pro, and easily 5,000+ phones in the air. That really hit me and seeing so many programmatic devices with a user interface was really stunning.

The one computer on stage!


To say it isn’t drop dead essential that Flash Player and AIR support these screens is an understatement. It is a massive opportunity to release the creativity of the Adobe design and development community on making these screen experiences better.

5,000 screens vs 1 computer
