[edit] History

Student Media Interactive began existing as it does today in 2003^[1], when The Diederich College of Communication had a problem: content from all of its Student Media outlets had been produced but had no way of being displayed within the college's main building, Robert A. Johnston Hall. Freshman Paul Hinze and Sophomore Michael Schultz were asked to create such a system, using 2 30-inch Apple Cinema displays, a Power Mac G5 and Adobe Flash. The project, dubbed WindowBox, was completed roughly a year later. It consisted of XML files with media data in them being fed to Flash, and being jointly displayed on the twin screens. Michael and Paul where then asked to remain employed by the college and work on other technological projects for them.
