The Gemin-i Observation Tool
About
The Gemin-i Observation Tool is a project to record a classroom as a teacher teaches, using simple web-cams connected over a wireless network to a local server. The local server will then be able to view, store, annotate and eventualy upload that content to the global server to be shared with others.
When playing back the content, the GOT also displays a plan view of the classroom, annotated notes, allows the user to select which camera to view and of course plays the sound.
Installing
Project Status
It is expected that a complete rewrite using open source video encoding tools rather than proporitory flash systems will be done eventually, though we currently do not have the funds for that.
Configuring the GOT
Red5
The GOT uses Red5 for video and audio streaming. Since this is still unfinished software, the best way to get the very latest version is to use Subversion to fetch the main trunk code
svn checkout http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/red5/build/trunk
Should fetch the source code. You will need at least java 1.5, including ant, to compile it.
Configuring the Gemin-i App
The index.php file's first line contains the name of the server, this is the server which holds both the Flash Comms and the web-server with PHP. If that is set correctly, and the savedfiles directory is writeable by the web-user, then everything should work nicely!
Development
If you have any feedback, comments or questions you may post them to the Classroom Observation Tool on our forum [here (http://dev.gemin-i.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=6)]
