Draw it to say it - DITSI A mash up for AOL Web AIM Mashup Competition by FMX
The Concept is a Mash up of WEB AIM api and JAVA APPLETS with simple draw functions. Both are combined in a Web page to yield a never before used online method of expressing oneself. • “A picture is worth a thousand words “ , one can very well imagine the impact of a dynamic picture . In this mash Up , the Web page consists of a simple Instant messenger type interface with an added drawing space for both the users to do Instant chat as well as draw on each other’s chosen pictures.
Start up page • It consists of the Instant messenger like webpage where the user logs in. Here he gets all the usual info as which of them are online , idle or away . • The DITSI draw pads are empty as no pic has still been choosen as the background. • The user can invite any one of his buddies for a DITSI chat ( more than one not preferable due to space constraints in a web page). • The users’ status while in a DITSI chat is shown as “busy in DITSI” or something similar. so that other buddies can know. In case, one of the buddy invites him for DITSI , there is a pop-up dialogue to accept it and end the current DITSI session and launch a new one with the new buddy.
DITSI proceedings- The users select the picture to be displayed in their ditsi pad which can be- • giving the URL of the picture available online. • Selecting one of the pictures from his profile. • Selecting from other sources like Flickr. • Not selecting a pic at all, using the background as the canvas. The user can select the mode of DITSI- • Self - User can draw only on his pad. • Mutual- both chatting buddies can draw on both the pads. • The users chat as well as DITSI simultaneously , which gives a feel better than smileys,Audibles and emoticons.
Some USER scenarios- • Romance between a couple……..
Numerous others… • A tic-tac-toe game. • Discussion of rough idea of a logo design. • A mother teaching her kindergarden kid ( sitting with babysitter obviously) “how to write A,B,C”. • A picture and symbols guessing game. • Infinite other interactions………
THE DITSI PAD : • It consists of JAVA Applet ( Adobe Flash can also be used as used in AIM FIGHT mash up onaimfight.com ) which has some simple Button supported draw functions. • brush draw • fine pencil draw • eraser • clear all • Additional features like bucket fill and a simple color pallete can also be used. • A feature for writing text on images can also be added using “drawString” function . • the users chat as well as draw on the pads to express themselves. • The user can locally save the DITSI image locally for as his “sweet memories”.
