I was looking through some files while cleaning up my computer and stubled upon some of the projects I did for Georgia Tech’s mobile applications and services class. The class consisted of three 3-week projects where groups worked to create mobile applications that involved some sort of information convergence on mobile platforms.

Project 1: MobileMyth

This project created a mobile DVR solution for the popular PC DVR software MythTV. The project delivered a web based interface to the mobile phone using the iUi mobile web framework, which presents an IPhone-like interface no matter the mobile platform currently viewing the site. We linked this into MythTV to gather TVGuide data to display options to record and set recordings. We also linked Facebook using the Facebook Connect architecture which allows our application to make recommendations based on interests listed on user’s social profiles. We almost got streaming working (through several recompiles of ffmpeg), but it was left out of the final project because we couldn’t get it working cross-platform.
