Sanjay, Alberto, and I spent a good deal of time coming up with some entertaining concepts for this week’s assignment (create an application which allows you to control and change the content that someone else is viewing on your site). Some thoughts included building a clapper sorta interaction, playing hangman, using audio clips… In the end, we decided to experiment with a live video stream, which would let viewers to type in a caption, which would appear in a comic-like conversation bubble. We used the Apple Quicktime Broadcaster. The coding was driven by Sanjay’s efforts and cleaned up with Shawn’s (Shawn Van Every, our instructor) help. Click here to give it a go. It seems to work a little better in Safari than Firefox. Also, the live stream component has been replaced by a static video with some clownish drawings…
Shawn also made a nice page for us here on the class wiki.
Thanks fellas!
See a screen shot too.
