History

Student Media Interactive began existing in its present form 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 two 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 of media data being fed to Flash, and jointly displayed on the twin screens. Schultz and Hinze remained employed by the college to work on other technological projects.
