Week 7

Not much has been done this week, in fact we have been preparing what to do and planning out our timeline for the break.

Coding
I've been playing with some sample code for Director with regards to MIAW (Movie In A Window), this could really come in handy later in the project or even for expension.
MIAW allows you to call another window and even exchange veriables in the background. This function would be used full when we're adding modules to it or even for the webcam, as Kyle could just code it on a totally different Director file, and I'll just use MIAW to call it in the VR Tour file.

By using MIAW it also give us an "infinity" working space, as now we're also making use of the space off screen, thus we can have as modules as we want(off screen), and the user can just call them in when needed.
This will also make it easier to update, as we do not need to update the main file, we'll just have to update the specific modules we want to and the changes will be reflected in the main file.

Photos
I've decided with Anthony that we'll be going all the Panoramas during the holiday when the building is least used, this will solve our privacy problem, of having to ask any student is in the photo to sign a "photo relise form" and it will also make our job a lot easier.
I'll been going through with Anthony on where to take the photos and some lighting issus, but I do for-see that we'll have to change certain things we've been talking about as we won't really know how the photos will turn out until we've actually taken them.
The reason I wanted the Panos available as soon as possible was becuase I've already gotten the code up and running and the trial program seems all fine and ready to go, thus the sooner I get the panos, the sooner I finish the VR tour and the sooner I can go into beta(public) testing (and some research and test results), I might get some first years involved.

Presentation
The Presentation has been more or less done, we've been talking to each other about part to add in and also thing to add in, I've came up with a very rough working version of the code, with transitions included, just to give a rough look and feel of wat I've done so far. The slides also imclude the phases do the development and testing, problems I faced while coding or looking for existing functions, and also how things can be added in to solve certain existing problems and add some key features to the VR Tour section.
