Bonsai In the Browser

Project to get Bonsai running in the browser, client side, using BlazorWASM.

• Run Bonsai workflows
• Run the Bonsai editor

Objectives

• Run simple Bonsai workflows in the browser
• Read Bonsai files into the browser and use them to construct and run Bonsai workflows
• Allow access to hardware for Bonsai
  • Microphone
  • Speakers
  • Keypresses
  • Mouse
  • Screen
• Program to build the blazor file for easy and fast deployment
• Get the editor working

To work on

• Get an interface working to access the hardware.
  • Couple of different ways of doing this, some links below
    • Keyboard events without input tags
    • Blazor event handling
    • More keyboard events
  • It should be possible to use RxC# to get key presses and so on...

For consideration

For running the hardware interface, do we

• use custom bonsai nodes for BlazorWASM?
• Catch Blazor errors in the client and stitch on stuff to allow the desktop nodes to access the hardware above?

Next meeting
