Creating the Mobile Experience |

A few of the steps involved in the technical creation of the mobile portion of the project:
Well, that's the theory anyway -- getting all this to happen is quite laborious, with repeated testing, analysis, troubleshooting, re-testing. As it turned on in Spring 2007, the coordinates were off -- so the GPS portion did not work on the Menlo campus. But, analysis concluded that someone about a mile away with the right equipment might be picking up the Menlo MediaScape signal and stories. In the meantime, the M-Scape software update of May 2007 has greatly simplified the programming and compilation process -- so check back in late Fall 2007 for updates to Menlo MediaScape! |
