EQUATOR city suggestions 20011102

• collaborative audio (massive? netmeeting? netfone? running voice?)
• spatialise (collaborative) audio
• audio content
• separate input/s-output/s (for demo displays and plasticity)
  
• implement simple scenario
• Vee walks around the room and stops in 5 set positions which are in the middle of zones (derngate, designer, context, lighthouse, guide). Within 2 seconds of stopping at each zone the map displays a fairly accurate location and content is displayed for that location. Walking is at normal walking pace and the behaviour is 95% reliable.
  
• check Mack Room physical-digital registration (measure? PDA?)
• reconsider zone sizes (gaps? overlaps? bigger? smaller?)
• remove all delays (tortoise, trace, hysteresis)
• revise hysterisis mechanism (location rather than position?)
• change or augment positioning/locating technology (IR?)
  
• integrate PDA awareness and content displays
• alternative input for (desktop) VR (PDA? quake? nintendo? joystick?
• encode proper OS co-ord transformations
• modify explanation handling for multiple locations (overlap or multi-position?)
• port ARToolkit to PPC
• display content on touch screen or video displays
• upgrade ultrasonic tx power and possibly output
• integrate multiple rx per jacket/PDA
• build lilybank tx test rig (and UCL?)
• build glasgow test rx/s (and UCL?)
• check PDA code into CVS
• extend location to focus (incorporating orientation)
• extend collision detection (look at, can see, within x)
• define triggers by traversing model (or room)
• Java3D renderer
• map room and fill ultrasonic gaps with IR beacons
• proxy-applet connection robustness
• add orientation and names for dub
• add room trigger (fallback content)
• add (non-rectangular) missing zones
  
• large-scale model server system
• move VRJ input simulator to PDA
• multiple visitors
• revise 690 code for 568/iPAQ (floats, etc)
• logging
• recer
• elvin interface
• papers
  
• embedded VR content
• content/experience authoring
• embody avatars
• review/improve UI design
  
• extend/edit linkbases
• consider/implement linky context (expertise and history)
• finish transition implementation
• discover room config
• HTML control on PDA
