A mystery-source project by Erik Blankenship and Bakhtiar Mikhak of MediaDudes, with help from Dan Williams. See also XO-editor-dude and Mapmaker Deluxe Edition. Record can record photos, audio, and video.


Description & Goals

Summary

The Record Activity provides a simple application for:

  • Taking pictures
  • Recording video
  • Recording audio
  • Stop-motion photography See Animation
  • Time-lapse photography
  • Creating 360 panoramas
  • Viewing slide shows

Goals

The "Record" activity uses the built in camera and microphone to let children record and share their pictures, videos, and audio files. One of the cool things about sharing on the xo is that it happens effortlessly -- when you take a picture with one xo it shows up on both your and your friends' xos too. In this way, we envision classrooms of children working together to document their neighborhoods.

Collaboration

The Record activity supports collaboration through both the Invitation mechanism and the Share-with-Neighborhood mechanism. In both cases, the collaboration manifests itself in sharing of still photos. As each participant in the collaboration takes photos, thumbnails of these photos appear in the trays of every participant, where they can be saved and viewed. Note that Record does not support real-time sharing of video or audio as of Build 613. Also note that as Record does not use Tubes for its data transfers, NAT traversal is not currently supported. (When using Jabber, tubes communications go via the server, thus avoiding the NAT problem, but data that are send outside of the tubes needs a yet-to-be-specified NAT traversal strategy.)
