NeoGrafik is a project which projects realtime drawing onto urban surfaces. The interface consists of custom drawing software projected on a 6’ x 6’ rear-projection screen. Using custom built pens and spray cans, the user simply draws as though the screen itself was a touchscreen canvas. Their strokes are projected onto the “interactive canvas” in realtime with a largescale secondary output projecting the same strokes in realtime onto the building exterior. More info at www.neografik.ca

The current basis for the interactivity for the screen is a wiimote & ir pen using Johnny Lee's wiimote whiteboard hack. We are wanting to abandon the Johnny Lee hack and use the wiimote itself as the drawing implement. To do so requires using wiiflash server which communicates between the wiimote and a flash app. We currently have an app coded in flash for the drawing portion of the project. We need some coding which will allow this app to receive button and movement events from the wiimote (via wiiflash server). The wiimote movement controls the mouse position with buttons assignable to other controls.

Ideally this would be a file which we could "include" in any further developments of the app - thus making the system very portable if we wish to upgrade just the drawing components.


Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the buyer was interviewed about the requirements for this bid request. Below are their answers.

Bid request Type: What kind of work do you need done? Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites) Bid request Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this bid request? Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it). User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely. Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)? A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server. Desktop / server program info Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application? I don't know. Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your application written in? I do know the language(s). Languages(s): Other: flash, AS3 Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on? I do know the operating system(s): Microsoft Windows -- version(s): XP or higher Macintosh -- version(s): 10.4 or higher Database: Will this bid request include a database? No, it does not include a database. Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program? No. The worker needs to only give me instructions on how to install it. Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future). 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): 2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer). 2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer). 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. 3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.

Other Requirements:

The file that you code will then be given to our regular coder who will integrate it into the full drawing application. This means that you are to create a file which:
-communicates with wiiflash server & transfers data from wiimote to flash app
-translates wiimote movement to mouse coordinates
-must have a calibration screen for calibrating wiimote position (and movement) to mouse movements on screen
-have button events which are easily modified by our regular coder who will add the button functionality as needed - so all buttons must have events assigned to them and we will assign the function to the event that is triggered from the button press at a later date
-it must be easy for us to control the granularity or fine-tune the tracking of the wiimote and the mouse (we need to be able to adjust the tracking speed of the wiimote/mouse control)
-the wiimote calibration must be set for the wiimote to be held vertically (a wiimote is normally held horizontally)

• All deliverables must be uploaded to Rent A Coder before the deadline(s) for this bid request...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this bid request...but instead alert Rent A Coder of an un-arbitratable, illegal bid request.
