Mscape Extensions SDK
This page introduces the mscape extensions SDK which is currently in beta. Mscape's plug in architecture makes it simple to extend the functionality of mscape by creating a .NET dll. As a developer familiar with .NET you could easily and simply add a new sensor that you wish to try out, create a simple interface to a web service, or even create extensions that perform some algorithmic task which is difficult or slow to implement in the mscape scripting language.
To help you start out creating your own extensions we have provided a series of projects in Visual Studio 2005 format that you can use as a starting point when creating your own mediascapes. To back this up we include a slideset introducing you to the terminology, base classes, and interfaces you will need to use, and a document explaining in detail the steps required to create a mediascape extension that has view controls in mscape maker, tester, and player. Starting out with mscape extension development.
