Mayhem

Make a little Mayhem in your world.

Most people who aren't developers don't think of their computers as a tool that they truly control. Instead, they create documents, consume media, and rely on third-party apps to perform simple tasks for them. Mayhem empowers users with minimal backgrounds in technology to use their computers to control the world around them.

Taking the programmer out of programming

Mayhem's system is built upon a simple concept: When something happens, do something else. An event can be as simple as pushing the spacebar on the keyboard, or more complicated — making a certain gesture with the Kinect, or something not physical at all such as when someone updates their Facebook status or receives an email. A reaction can be anything from opening the blinds to your house, to taking a picture with your webcam and uploading it to Facebook, to sending a text message.

By pairing events and reactions together, Mayhem becomes a powerful tool for users to create their own personalized applications without needing to know anything at all about programming.
