Processing and MMS messaging
Oct 9th, 2007, 8:07pm  
I want to use Processing to prototype an MMS messaging service. The idea would be to have users mms messages to a server and then that server would then fead the images into my processing app.

What is the best way to catch an MMS messsage and pipe it into a running processing app.

This is obviously a huge question. I am interested in a high level answer languages, services network set up etc.

Thanks
jher

hi jher,

i remember a project of my classmate who made an installation of a photo frame where you could send mms images to.

It used NowSMS (http://www.nowsms.com/) on a laptop with a cardphone.  This is a tool to send/receive sms & mms with the computer. I don't know if there are other / freeware alternatives to this.
They used Flash to display the images. Flash called a php-script which scanned the incoming folder for new pics.

project documentation is here:
