Planning issue

[jywarren]

Prototype

• Prototype notes #4

Architecture

• break into modules
• separate interface and function?
• think about an array buffer or a canvas for storing pixel reads, so we don't have to play through the whole video again to rebuild the chart if we change the row length.

Functions

• adjustable length of day (# of pixels per day, or per row)

Challenges

• Some way to deal with:
• Example videos often exclude nighttime hours #3

Interface

• drag video file onto the page to begin
• click to select a pixel location in video
• display the chosen pixel (in red box, per mockup)
• display the pixel you're hovering over as you choose a new one
• stylesheet
• fit to narrow pages, i.e. mobile
• Important: ability to choose not just one pixel but a box (several pixels), and to average the color. This might be important for reducing noise in the color.

Other

• create short test video and/or demo video
