Technical problems, limitations, bugs and future changes to the Ambient Automat.
I have tried it out on my computer - others PC's and Power MAC's. To run it using Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 uncheck "Activate Java JIT-compiler" under the menu: "view / options / advanced". There are some problems: The Ambient automat uses a lot off CPU power, and slow down the entire computer, I have tried to minimize the problem (for now), but i don't consider it to be a major problem ( you can use the automat to play in the background when you aren't using it for other purpose ).
Interruptions in the sounds: that can be experienced when the CPU is not of some standard, and a greater number of tones are useed: try to use fewer tones, or try to use another browser. It is sometimes nessary to push the "Start one automat" button twice to get it going. It's necessary or else all 4 Ambient automat would start when you entered the page (with netscape anyway). I have been asked to remove the background noise, but I for one enjoy the noise, I think it gives it a special atmosphere and some nearness, technical: it is not posible because the Java language only support playback of 8 khz. u-law compressed mono sounds.
