Demo at the DTI Awards in Cape Town - Part 2

We have returned two weeks ago from the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) awards. As I alluded to earlier, Rhodes University was nominated by the THRIP (Technology and Human Resources for Industry) programme under the Research Collaboration category. Fortunately, we won!.

We are now releasing the code that we demonstrated at the DTI Technology awards. As you may recall from part 1, we modified the Mobicents Converged Demo that currently allows users to purchase furniture off a SEAM-powered website, to allow users to browse for and purchase videos instead. We put in an added feature that allows users to view the trailers of the movies on their RTSP-enabled SIP phones. As a client, we used a version of the JAIN SIP Applet phone  and added Gstreamer-Java libraries to it, to support RTSP streaming from a Darwin streaming server.

You can grab the code from my site, which includes the JBOSS server with pre-built binaries, Mobicents Media Server (MMS) sources for the Converged Demo, the modified JAIN SIP Applet phone and some videos to try out.

In addition to the screenshots we showed last time, we have also put up a video of the program in action. Note that this is work in progress, and we will be updating the service in the coming weeks and months - we have huge plans for it! Firstly, we want to remove Darwin and replace it with MMS RTSP stack [nudge to Jean ;-)]. We also want to add buddy lists and IM abilities. We would also incorporate policies and XCAP support. From there, the sky is the limit.

Hope folks enjoy it. Cheers!

The demo is coming together nicely ...
