Baby watcher Open Web Application #39

Open Yoric opened 12 years ago

Yoric commented 12 years ago

The objective of this project is to turn two HTML5-powered devices (presumably phones) into a pair of baby watcher devices.

Both devices need to be paired, presumably by choosing a unique and unguessable URI, or by inputting some password while communicating with a server.

The first device is placed in a room where a baby sleeps. This device records noises, turns its own volume down to 0, does nothing visible, and attempts to save battery.

The second device is placed in a room where a parent sleeps or works. This device shows the noise level around the first device, as a visual indicator.

@Yoric , I am interested in this application. I would like to know its pre-requisites, if any.

Yoric commented 11 years ago

Hi @gmridul . I have just checked, and unfortunately, not all the necessary web APIs are available yet.

Why not developing using nightlies ? They have WebRTC.

Yoric commented 11 years ago

Indeed, a basic version could be done with just WebRTC.

However, it is my understanding that, for the moment, there is no support for converting sound into data in real time. This would be necessary to just send the sound level to the receiver device.
