Tech

The following projects are used in this project:

• Node.js: for the server side. See more resources for Node.js.
• Express: the framework for Node.js
• EJS: the template engine for rendering HTML pages.
• Socket.io: the library that enables client and server to communicate freely! See exposed events in socket.io.

The following HTML(5) features have been used to achieve the goals:

• File API: Read the information of local files.
• FileSystem: Regroup sliced file in local sandbox.(This is not supported by IOS)
• XHR2: Send files and read progress using a more powerful AJAX in HTML5.
• Geolocation: to determine pairing together with time

The following HTML(5) features might be employed: (TODOs)

• Sensor APIs: capture shaking motions
