VULab Proposed Components and Initial Issues

VULab Components

  • Video Recording
    the core video recording tool and all aspects (not dealing with streaming or compression)** Better video integration/tracking in results and survey execution
  • Video Streaming/Transfer and Compression Systems
    • assessment of the current compression system used
    • assessment of the current streaming
  • Core Infrastructure
    This component encompasses the VULab framework code.** complete the re-write of phpesp to VULab and standards compliant code
    • extend the existing session support to include more system control
  • Design Framework
    creation and implementation for a standardized templating and rendering system
    • implementation of a basic templating framework to further separate logic and view
    • extension of the core "where inclusion" style system to include a more modular and extensible framework
  • Database Framework
    core framework to dynamically handle the needs of the VULab project and any other project.** further extend the existing database interaction/functionality to automatically adapt to table/database structures
  • Project Management Infrastructure
    management system to create,edit,delete, and manage the various status/information stored within a project.
  • Survey Tool
    management system to create,edit,delete, and manage teh various status/information stored within a survey.** modularize (and possible re-write) of the survey tool to be used in various system/project contexts and to support JS/usability upgrades
    • correction of some "duct tape" solutions that were implemented on initial alpha version.
  • Results Framework/Management
    processing and collecting system for results. To include basic results display and comparison tools** Initial research into the results system functionality needs to be done to properly access the next steps.
  • Streamlining
    streamlining of VULab functionality and interface with ajax and other various js functionality to provide better workflow and usability** focus on integration of survey tool into the project creation process using whatever js neccary.
  • General
  • Tech. Documentation
    full api documentation/etc for the VULab components and systems.** Initial research into the core system functionality needs to be done to properly access the next steps.
