Managing Director and co-founder of on-IDLE Ltd, An-Mari Peter, will be speaking at 4pm at the Interact 1 seminar on Wednesday, the 22nd of September 2004 at the LCC. The seminar, which is sponsored by Sony PlayStation 2, covers the theme New Directions in Communications Design, of which the directions include: interactive television, mobile applications, usability, online gaming, data-visualisation and content management systems.

An-Mari Peter will be looking at the capabilities of Flash MX and how it integrates today with databases and other technologies such as XML and PHP Peter explains, Today you can have fully dynamic, usability compliant, yet seamlessly interactive and beautifully designed interfaces. Design should not be compromised because of usability and content management requirements. Web-technology is no longer necessarily ugly.
