Goal of Project • Implement the eXtreme Feedback methodology using Ambient Devices, like the Ambient Orb and Nabaztagbunny. • eXtreme Feedback allows a team of developers to bring into focus what is most important at a given time. Nabaztag/tag Ambient Orb
Business Value • Techniques and tools of eXtreme Feedback help in achieving and maintaining focus on what is most important at any given time. • Making feedback mechanism fun helps Organization to draw attention to focus. • Allowing feedback to be broadly available signals which objectives are important. • Subconsciously knowing what is going on with the project.
Team Members • Edward Kim • Background research on Nabaztag • Start up communication between Nabaztag and JnabServer. • Shaoxuan Zhang • Ambient Orb Controller • Sonwright M. Gomez • Background research on Nabaztag • Xml Loader for Ambient Orb Controller
Costs • Time Spent: • ~40 Hours/person total • Money Spent: • Nabaztag Bunny - $175.00 • Allocated Resources • Use of CSDL • Sinclair Library • Hackystat framework • Professor Nickles’ Orb Manager • Discussion groups • Nabaztalk, JnabServer
What’s been produced so far • Ambient Device Controller • Use of controller can change the color and animation of the Ambient Orb. • Connection established between JnabServer, Jnab Client, and Nabaztag bunny. • Clients communicate with Server, which communicates with the Nabaztag bunny.
Live Demo • Ambient Orb • Change color of Ambient orb • Nabaztag rabbit • Startup JnabServer and play boot music • Nabaztag will record voice and playback.
Upcoming Milestones • Second Milestone • Establish connection to internet for Nabaztag bunny • Allow us to use Violet API to control bunny, rather than the JnabServer • Costs (Hours) to get to each milestone • Spend more time with Nabaztag rabbit. • Additional costs • Pepsi Max for Eddie • Popcorn for Shaoxuan • Mango Tea For Sonny
Next Steps • First establish connection to the internet and bypass the UH authentication with the Nabaztag bunny. • Use the Violet API to control the rabbit
Why continue funding us? • Keeping track of build status subconsciously allows development team to be more aware of what is in focus. • Allows developmental environment to be more fun and interactive. • Creative and innovative ways to communicate with your team.
