Create mock of UI

[dosirrah]

I envision an app that most of the time is just playing videos from YouTube or Vimeo, etc. in full screen. The UI is unobtrusive. Perhaps the UI is not visible at all except under certain events:

• a person enters the room, temporarily show the queue being updated.
• fling a piece of content and the queue temporarily appears along an edge of the screen.
• trigger a UI to appear when a person in the room raises a phone (any phone). This could double as the "power on" gesture.

The UI when temporarily visible could show the current state of the queue. Maybe we add a few phone gestures that allow pause / play, mute, and skip. With the "raise hand (phone)" gesture, the UI could include a QR code, the person can install an app for more detailed control and/or open a web page that provides a more complete user interface.

The act of flinging can be simulated initially from a command-line script on a laptop.

fling http://youtube.com/...

Phone gestures can be simulated initially using the same command-line script from any device near the TV.

fling pause
fling hand
fling off
fling skip
fling mute
fling up # volume up
fling down # volume down
...

Outside the scope of this ticket, but that should be kept in mind, fling should be doable from an app or from a web page without having to be on the same network. could triggered by a link on a web page or from a bookmarklet. A link opens a web page that enables flinging. A bookmarklet overlays a UI (frame) on the current web page.

Lets solve this 9/23/2024 meeting. Lets work on the TV UI then and we can work on the mobile UI as well.

This can be sketches that show a basic look and feel plus a user flow diagrams for each user story.

Gave this one to myself.
