View source for Zeega HTML5 Plugin

[http://zeega.org/index.html Zeega] is an open-source HTML5 platform for collaboratively producing, curating and publishing immersive multimedia projects on web, tablet and mobile devices. Zeega enables scholars, artists and organizations to create nonlinear digital narratives that seamlessly combine photos, videos, text, audio and maps from public APIs. Zeega is an experiment in fostering a new medium for an age of open information, providing user-friendly tools to access, visualize and re-interpret media repositories such as libraries, archives and major social websites. The project is an outgrowth of Mapping Main Street, is being incubated in the Berkman Center's [http://metalab.harvard.edu/ metaLAB(at)Harvard] and has been prototyped in the courses [http://mediaarchaeologyofplace.org/ Media Archaeology of Place] and [http://www.mixedrealitycity.org/ The Mixed-Reality City]. 


During the summer, a student would work on developing plugins to allow users to create new layers within Zeega. Depending on a student's interest, he or she might focus on developing a plugin for dynamic Twitter feeds; rich HTML5 text editing and annotation; Processing-based visualizations via Processing.js; or other plugins imagined by the student.
