About
The Presentation Tool project started as a project for Google Summer of Code 2020. The main idea is to have a software that is capable to create different sets of data configuration to be displayed on a Liquid Galaxy.
Liquid Galaxy is a very powerful tool to visualize data, the elevated computing power given by the main-secondary architecture and the larger visualiazation brings a very interesting field to show different types of media in bigger scales.
The API idea is to empower this capability of Liquid Galaxy by proposing the execution of different types of media at the same time using the multiple processing with bash.
To deal with those creations, the API was developed to manage presentations. A presentation is a set of commands an user gives to the API, those commands are parsed and translated to open sets of media on specified positions, screens and time.
To help users manage the presentations, a tool was created to serve as a user interface connected directly with the API.
Because it consists of overlaying processes, the Presentation Tool can be used on top of Google Earth. Due to this powerful partnership, the Presentation Tool is integrated with the query system of Google Earth, making it possible to do queries while displaying the media.

Main technologies and languages used
Installation guide
Install the API
Follow the install backend guide to install the API and all its pre-requisites.
The API can be used alone if you use softwares like Postman, for example, to make all the API requests.
All the possible endpoints are described on the readme of the backend session
Install the user interface
If you prefer an easier way and more user friendly to interact with this software, install the user interface by following the install frontend guide.
The user interface is meant to be used with the API, it is useless if not working with an already set up backend.
