Chris Allen walked us through the basic setup and installation of red5. The overall presentation was a basic intro to the red5 environment…I felt he did a really good job of explaining how what red5 is and how it works…especially considering majority of the attendees had never touch red5 before.

The examples included the demo files that are bundled in the current distribution of red5. If you have not yet had a chance to check these out I highly recommend you do http://www.digs.jp:5080/demos/ !

The highlight of the presentation was Trevor Burton’s demo of his new project paperworld3D, which is built on red5 and papervision3d…very cool stuff…paperworld3D is only a month old and is already dropping mouths in the pv3 and red5 communities….essentially paperword3D is a 3D multi-user environment.

Check out the online demo at http://www.paperworld3d.com and if you like what you see make sure you help contribute any way you can to this project because it !@#$% ROCKS!!!
