Technical info
Applications are written for Chrome browser. Applications showing map of Tartu are written using Google Maps API.
The front room application has 3 video outputs: a “videowall” consisting of 15 TVs, a wall-mounted TV and a touchscreen for user interaction. A map of Tartu is displayed on all video outputs. Two video outputs have synchronized switching of base maps and overlays, third one stand independent of user input but shares same realtime data stream. So instead of screen duplication, a seperate browser instance is running on each screen. Browsers communicate with and synchronize to each other through localStorage.
Back room exhibits each have two video outputs: a wall-mounted TV and a touchscreen.
