Design interactive interfaces using various devices and OSC/0MQ/WebSockets

/* 

This test is a simple example of using Node.js and OSC
to connect to Interface.Server using a small app defined
here. You must have the interface.server.osc module installed
for this script to run.

Additionally, this script requires the osc-min module.
