Progress update #7

We are back once again for some actual updates!

On Wednesday we went to the HK Arena in order to have a development/testing day for our updated application. We were hoping to test whether the program could finally recognize a certain Mac-exclusive video capture card but unfortunately the device was unavailable. However, the staff at the arena were friendly enough to lend us a solid state drive with a case that is able to output some video material we recorded earlier on that day. This way we can simulate the output from the robotic camera whenever necessary, and hopefully we will be able to get the connection between the capture card and our software working. We shall try this out on next week's Wednesday as the capture card will be available at that time.

Additionally, we made some new UI designs and changes in order to make it quicker to operate: Some drop-down functionality and overall clarity. We did other more graphics-related tasks as well and our application should start looking pretty nifty quite soon. Also, we have been working on several different build versions of the software to make sure that it runs at least on Windows, OS X and Linux, but we have been looking into an Android version as well.
