[AG-DEV] Sources for Positional Audio / Window Highlighting software

[Robert Putnam]

In February I sent mail to ag-tech with a pointer to my Positional Audio /
Window Highlighting software/services for AG 2.4.  (See the end of this
message for a copy of that announcement.)  I'm making the source code
available now, should anyone be interested in pursuing this project.  Here
it is:

  http://scv.bu.edu/~putnam/ag-audio/source-2.4

The zip file in that directory ('ag-media-positional.zip') contains all the
source for RAT, vic, and the positional/highlighting agent.  Individual
source files can also be viewed by traversing the 'ag-media-positional'
directory.

Installation instructions and other documentation are available here:

I'm looking for a few intrepid volunteers to help test my Positional Audio
/ Window Highlighting software for AG 2.4. For those of you who are
unfamiliar with this project, here's my standard blurb:

   BU has developed a system to help users determine which Access Grid
   participant is speaking at a given time. In the current test system,
   when the amplitude of a site's audio rises above a minimum threshold,
   the video windows from that site are highlighted by a color outline, and
   the audio is positioned in the stereo field at the same relative
   location as the last-moved video window.

The system is available here:

  http://scv.bu.edu/~putnam/ag-audio

A zip file containing all services (RAT and vic, Windows and Linux,
standalone and multi-computer), installation instructions, and other
documentation is available.  (It is also possible to download only those
files you need by traversing the 'services-2.4' directory.)

I would be very interested to hear about people's experiences with the
system.  Please send bug reports, suggestions, etc., to putnam at bu.edu.
