Called "Interactive Spaces", the software was developed by Google and Rockwell LAB. It is currently available as an initial source release with a 47-page documentation and a final release is planned to be made available sometime in the future. Interactive Spaces is written in Java and can run on any platform that supports the language.
At this time, Google is offering a "collection of libraries" that enable a developer to create and implement activities that run in an interactive space. According to the company, Interactive Spaces supports additional languages such as Javascript and Python. Developers can also choose to run native applications written in C++.
