The ACC Google Map is an adaptation of a standard Google Map, made possible by the Google Map API. It is a dynamic system that pulls game information from a database and calculates wins, losses, last and next games, distances traveled, and loactions for each team. A user may click on individual teams to see this specific information or see conference-wide standings or traveling distances for the season.



Friends of Friends is a Yahoo! widget that shows upcoming Friends episodes on your local listings, synopses and guest stars, and those guest stars' IMDB filmographies. Also displays a timeline of relationships among the Friends. Inspired by the large number of guest stars on the series. Uses XML and JavaScript within the Yahoo! Widget engine. This utilized screen-scraping because of a lack of web service APIs, so HTML structure changes in the past year on Yahoo! and IMDB sites have made the widget obsolete.



FeliciTap is a three-dimensional virtual space that allows a user to explore video content on contexually-based heirarchies as well as explore virtual representations of the content. This group prototype displays television genres on different levels that the user can travel to as well as key environments of the television shows. It was created with Maya and VirTools.
