Weekly update

The WebRTC group of the project have started working on the client - server communication. Some of the basic functionality has been finished and the goal is to complete all the basic functions within the coming week. Other things that has been worked on is the integration of the different views (lobby/room), making the system easier to use and to integrate with tangibles and projector. The following week the usability will be improved, in room view as well as in the lobby.

The projector group have almost finished on the calibration between camera and projector, some tuning remains. Related to this have been touch buttons ('press' part of the surface to trigger an action), that have been finished but need to be integrated with the rest of the application. The projector group will start adding communication between workspaces by using methods provided by the WebRTC group.

For the sphero part of the tangibles we have been able to make it spin from the web browser. However this will only work once, and after that spin the sphero will become unresponsive. This will be one of the sphero working areas for the week, the other is to report events all the way to the web browser, right now the we have no events even in the sphero driver. The work here is to convert the sensor data to events and the send them through the gateway and to the browser.

The sifteo part of the project have been focusing on simulating what will happen on a room invite and also when the user entered a room. Focus for the following week will be to fully integrate this with the server and be able to listen to events from the server and respond to them in a nice way. When this have been done more testing will be done.

Apart from the group specific stuff all groups will revisit their user stories to make them fit better with small changes in the project and integrate better with each other.
