The end product of this project is an multi-platform application, designed specifically for tablets, that will aid the urban flood project in viewing simulated floods. The current implementation this application is done on a multi-touch table which is not easily portable. To reach to goal of mobility and to be able to reach more public, tablets have the same interaction features as the multi-touch table and are therefore chosen to reach this goal. This project involves an investigation for the best possible tools to implement such an application. A side objective is to test how many peers the back-end server can handle at ones. This will also be reported in this document.
This project covers the implementation of a cross-platform application, designed specifically for tablets, that will aid the urban flood project in viewing simulated floods. This application already existed on a multi-touch table, which is not easily portable. To reach to goal of mobility and to be able to reach more public, tablets have the same interaction features as the multi-touch table and are therefore chosen to reach this goal. Sencha Touch 2 was found to be the best option at first but did not suffice the expectations. A side objective is to test how many peers the back-end server can handle at ones, the response time of the server goes up fast which means that a problem can occur when more clients are requesting data.
