Import Database Information into VR Module #56

Open YCPjsteck opened 3 years ago

YCPjsteck commented 3 years ago

The client requests that the VR module be able to display information that has been gathered by the actual radio telescope. In order to do this, the VR game must be capable of importing any relevant database information from the control room.

Be capable of caching the database information so that the database doesn't need pulled from every time the VR module is run. Can be overwritten with newer information.

A note taken during the 9/21/20 meeting on something that Professor Hake mentioned: "Replicate control room software to VR module so it looks like it's talking to a control room?"

Perhaps we could do something similar to what I've done with #57 where we have a CSV of data. Importing the database information would then be a matter of getting a CSV of any relevant data from the control room. Important to note though is that the current star positional and magnitude data is hard coded and I believe any changes in that data would require rebuilding the program. We wouldn't want this to be the case for any imported database information of what the radio telescope has recorded.

Backend is basically an API that we could make some sort of call to to get the necessary information.

Some notes I had written down from discussions with Todd.

    Some sort of button that does an API call for the database and updates the information you have.
        Node.js library for C#?
