A friend is working on an art installation involving tablets. <div><br></div><div>There will be two large monitors showing video, and a number of tablets on which visitors can view individual pieces. The rough idea is that the program looks in the video directory and sees there are N videos available to present, and it displays a grid of options. Maybe there's a jpeg to go with each video, to populate the grid, or maybe just a few words of text. During the show, the count is static, but maybe the next time the piece is shown, some video clips are added or removed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Visitors can select a piece to view from the grid, or, after perhaps 30 seconds, the program selects one at random to play. At the end of the video, it returns to the grid.</div><div><br></div><div><br>
</div><div>Has anyone been working with tablets and has the know-how to implement such a system? The Perl program would be under 100 lines, but I haven't used the Android Perl system ... well, maybe a bit extra for window configuration, etc.</div>
