Week 4 - final proposal

Finally its over.....

We;ve got the proposal and poster over and done with, now its time to concentrate and work on our projects....
I can't wait to do some coding(have been deprived of coding for almost 8 months now!!), espacially when Director is involved, as it is one of my favourite programmes to do coding/scripting in.
I took some time to look through my proposal before finally handing it in and also decided to put in some of my week's work to the proposal. The link layout detail, information list, and the details about the nodes we will be having for this QTVR project.
Can't really say that a lot of work has been done, other than looking through the proposal over and over again, just to make sure everything is smooth flowing. Looking through the sites I've done my research on, and referencing them in my proposal.
The one thing that I can highlight this week is that I've been on the phone a rather lot lately, not just casual chit chat, but I've been calling up the company I used to work in back in Singapore(as an Interactive media developer), talking to supervisors, my ex-manager and my under studies, several rather interesting things about QTVR/Director has been discovered.

Firstly Flash can do the same and have QTVR, but it will need a plug-in inorder for it to control QTVR as well as Director, the main risk here is this, not all computers will have that plug-in which means for an online site, you will have to get users to download it before QTVR can be ran and controlled, secondly MACs and PCs both require different versions of that particular plug-in, this will definatelly bring up compatibility issues.
Next Director CAN be interfaced with a webcam, webcams are considered in the same family of devices as digital cameras and scanners, digital cameras and scanners are considered TWIAN devices...therefore, a Director TWIAN Xtra can be used and packaged together with the projector file upon delivery or if we're crazy enough, we can use the low level Director code to interface with Windows(required some Windows programming knowledge) as an alternative route.
Hmm...looks like there is more and one way to skin a cat.....
