Hey all -- There is a white paper on MSDN that explains how The North Face proof-of-concept was designed and built. While the full source isn't available, there are three code samples with the white paper, including one that has a video carousel like what you see in the keynote demo.

Would love to hear more about what people think of the demo, questions they have, etc.

Karsten:

I'm having trouble with the video carousel demo. When I run it it crashes. The error message comes from Media Event Sink Window, complaining that a location in memory could not be read.

On a side note, I'm having a lot more problems trying to get Channel9 to post my comment. I keep getting unknown errors. Sorry for filling up your error log guys Tongue Out

Media in Avalon is still rather finicky in this build. If you are on XP, be sure that you are running WMP 10. The other gotcha is video card drivers. If you are running ATI or NVidia, be sure you are running the latest drivers. There are some legacy video drivers that simply won't run Avalon video. Good luck!

Pretty cool. The concept I am having the hardest time undersstanding is how this NorthFace web site would be rendered in a browser other than IE or on other platforms (Mac, Linux, etc)

Is it even possible? or is this simply web content which will ONLY be available to people running on the new platform?
