PosterBoard - GR4 - Computer Prototyping
Manasi Vartak <mvartak@mit.edu>, Tristan Naumann <tjn@mit.edu>, Chidube Ezeozue <cezeozue@mit.edu>
Platform Requirements
This prototype has been tested to work on Chrome 18 maximized window (1600x900 as tested) when opened from a local folder. Further this prototype is meant to be tested on a large (30''+ touch monitor). Understanding this to be a severely limiting hardware requirement, the GR4 snapshot should perform similarly on down to a 15'' screen. If using a mouse rather than touch, please note that some typically appealing effects (e.g. hover) are not necessary in a touch environment.
...
- Download http://web.mit.edu/tjn/Public/PosterBoard.zip.
- Unzip the package.
- Open templates/index.html in Chrome 18.
- Preferably run it in full screen mode (F11)
...
- Add a poster:
- Email will, in the future, be entered via the swipe of an RFID card; however, the complexities of this interaction prohibit it in this prototype.
- Poster preview will not be displayed in this prototype as this relies either on an AJAX server roundtrip or the HTML5 FileReader neither of which work when the project is launched as a file.
- Actually hitting "Add Poster" will not add a poster but instead return a canned success message.
- Clicking the '-' and coming back will not clear the form as server-side validation cannot yet be performed.
- Calendar view:
- Clicking dates on the calendar do not synchronize to the headers.
- Switching between weeks animates the action but does not change reflected weeks
- The posters are static
- Opening a poster
- Clicking "like," "dislike," or "calendar reminder" icons do not do anything further.
- Scribbing Scribbles on a poster is are not saved.
