Aldo's comments:
The BBM tour at serve-u.de showcases a multinode SPi-V tour combined with an interface to a number of wild perspectives on the same scenes. This project was the first tour that sported a uniquely customised interface, taking advantage of SPi-V's high quality overlay capabilities.
The 'transmediale.05' tour on the same website is a more obvious descendant of our hirshhorn demo, but includes some pretty creative SPi-V customisation as well.

the presentation should now skip to the next scene automaticly after some seconds of inactivity.
nice screensaver / presentation in showrooms, isn´t it?
coments are welcome, jam@serve-u.de
Cool!
I am currently updating the documentation. The ramp now includes some info on the interupt attribute you used to achieve skipping to a next scene.
I'll have to make a more elaborate article about how it can be used to its full potential, but if you (or anyone else) wants to write a small bit on how to achieve a certain effect, please be my guest!
I still don't get it
OK, I've read the ramp section, but can't figure out how he got that tour to switch scenes automatically. I see the call to the scriplet in his "serve-u.xml", but I still don't get it!
ramp...
A ramp counts from a certain value to another value in a certain time. In that time, the ramp generates 'change' events, and you can use those events to do all kinds of nice thing like blending elements in and out.
However, when the ramp is done counting, it will issue a 'stop' event (unless 'loop' is set to true, in which case the ramp will generate a 'loop' event and start counting in reverse). This way you can use the ramp to execute an action after a certain delay.
So to have a ramp open another scene after a certain period you'ld do something like this:
<ramp id="delayedjump" duration="10" active="true" loop="false"><action event="stop" type="setView" scene="yourscene" />
</ramp>
