Fearless attitude to attempt kernel hacking of the Linux AX.25 code. The goal of this project is to enable the easy creation of a class of applications. Drop-in additions of new information sources or transformers could quickly extend the system. A student may choose to work within one of these domains, or suggest his or her own domain of interest. It is not realistic to keep a separate keyboard and mouse for each machine laying out in the room, so we have developed the PointRight system which allows a single keyboard and mouse to control all currently displayed machines.
Control is transferred by moving the mouse off the edge of one screen onto an adjacent screen.
The system also allows users who enter the room to use their laptops to control the displayed systems, or integrate their laptop so that it can be displayed and controlled. The system is currently functioning but has some stability issues. The system is also currently hardwired to our specific room configuration, but could be useful in many environments. We need someone to integrate the new Event Heap, stabilize PointRight and deploy it in the iRoom for everyday use. In addition there is the possibility to enhance the system to be more generic and create a version that can be released to others for use in environments similar to the iRoom.
