Web based player for public displays
| Resumo: | The most important element in a network of public displays is a piece of software, the player, it is responsible for interpreting the presentation instructions, which are sent in a specific format, and make the content visible to the users according to those instructions. One of the big issues regarding this type of software is their restrict system requirements, a player is usually conceived having a specific target platform, this creates some issues when deploying new displays. With the increasing development of web technologies emerges a solution to this issue: a web based player with low system requirements and the capability to be deployed in a wider range of platforms. The goal of this investigation is to design and implement a web based player using web technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript, the new Chrome Packaged Apps technology is also being looked at as a way to easily distribute and deploy the software. Ultimately this web based player aims to increase the reach and availability of the public displays networks by creating a platform to which the non-proprietary developer can create content to. |
