There are quite a few cool and quite revolutionary technologies arising. There is no way to inform which one particular will make the next big wave, but one matter is for positive, it will have some thing to do with acquiring rid of the remote as we know it!

No, I would have loved to make it to MAX if you know the guy's name I would love to hook up with what he is doing and see if I can port ODE to AS3. ( will have to brush up on my C! ). I will have to get the frame rate count for you, I don't have it off hand. The socket conncetion wasn't bad although I was seeing some weird stuff with flushing it every time, sometimes it seemed Flex delayed and I would get more data then I should have in the socket. Also, a small trick I don't talk about is I don't open and close the socket like you should. I basically leave the thing open and stream messages across -- not "proper" but much faster. @doug mccune:

I'm not impressed anymore :P Great writeup Dan. BTW, did you guys see the C++ to AS3 converter stuff demoed at MAX this year? The demo is of a guy porting Quake to AS3. Maybe one day we'll be able to convert the whole OpenDynamics engine to AS3 and have a badass 3D physics engine in Actionscript. What kind of frame rates did you see with your PV3D performance? Any bottlenecks with the socket connection? Oh, that’s all there is to it? I’m not impressed anymore :P
