Build Status

What it is in a single sentence

BISMO ( BIg Screen MOderator ) is intended to run on Android Devices with big screens ( Tablet / GoogleTV ) where the watching crowd can vote for the content displayed

Motivation

TV's are corrupting the brains of humans - it is hard to get rid of those, but we can change the content displayed

Details

The System has 4 base components:

  1. the App running on the Big Screen Device ( from now on called BSD :-)
  2. Installed Apps on the BSD that obey the NOIF ( NO Interaction and Finite ) Specification
  3. client app(s) for voting
  4. Backend ( AppEngine )

available NOI apps:

  • video player
  • gobandroid ( replaying go games ) - easy task to implement that as it is already NOI in TV mode - just need to add the F part ;-)
  • picture dia show ( doing something like this in my 20% project at the company I am working at the moment )
  • Twiter Wall
  • website display

ideas for other NOI apps:

  • YouTube / vimeo player
  • G+ wall
  • hdmi playout
  • ...

notes on the service:

  • if there are no votes => all registered NOIF's get time equally
  • there can be auto-votes configured ( e.g. Thursdays at +c-base spacestation a vote for +gobandroid in TV mode as there is go lounge )
  • in a later phase ( will not fit in the 48h implementation frame ) add algorithms to detect voting patterns and replay them
