Art project installation for a friend. Basic idea was to build 4 telephone booths showing "Sex on the telephone" theme animations. Person in the booth can listen to the audio through the phone.
Depending on the number of phones being used the animations would update on all the screens.
- each phone has a raspberry pi with a client app running on it
- each raspberry pi audio out is connected to the phone speaker (some simple soldering)
- each raspberry pi is also connected to phone's handset, so when its picked up pi is triggered
- animations are played on pi using omxplayer
- there is also a raspberry pi server which makes sure that all raspberry pi clients are in sync and show the same animation
node server
-v play videonode client
--host e.g. 192.168.1.68, defaults to localhost
-t start client in a test mode(listens to keyboard events instead of a phone button)kill all:
sudo killall -9 omxplayer.binplay:
omxplayer saxophone/videos/noise.mov --loop --layer 1 --no-osd
omxplayer wombat.h264 --loop --layer 2 --no-osdpins 11 and 17 are used
sudo su
