Capture Mode Interface
This document is being revised to account for changes in the User Interaction Workflow.
Introduction
This interface helps the user accomplish the task of converting a book into raw images. The primary activity is to perform captures using the attached cameras, with supporting functionality to assist in secondary activities like reordering, deleting, and quality assurance.
Overview
Capturing Images
- Cover page
- User has started a new Book. Empty placeholders indicate that there are no pages in this book yet.
- Selects Take Picture using either mouse or the Space bar.
- Interface fades in the background, and a progress dialog appears.
- If this were the first time capturing in the user's work session, the Camera Setup Wizard would have launched.
- The progress dialog may not be necessary as taking pictures may actually be quick enough.
- First spread of pages added to the Book. A line down the centre of the spread indicates the spread is divided (this line is generated during Camera Setup).
- User takes another picture.
- Capture in progress.
- Pages 3 and 4 added to the book.
