PodTech.Net Media Player
“Traffic tripled.” — Robert Scoble, PodTech.net
PodTech.Net approached Vestal with a tough design challenge- they wanted a Flash player that would combine community, RSS feeds, and different types of media, all with a unique look. In under 2 months, Vestal responded with a unique Flash player which:
- Plays video or audio (with an associated image)
- Includes a Playlist which runs off PodTech’s RSS feeds
- Allows users to link to, embed, or email the player
- Intuitive and distinct controls
- Dynamically resizable, opens in pop-up window
To accomplish this, both Vestal’s Web Design and User Interaction groups tackled the player from separate view points. After each graphic iteration, the user interaction group would analyze the player for ease of use. The PodTech Player team at Vestal consisted of Diego Rojas Bandini, Jeffrey Warren, and David Pitman, with support from Jon Saints, Pete Habuda, and others.
