Not Quite Presence

NQP

NQP is two simple demonstrations of how to take the Facebook Platform offline, to allow intergation with Facebook on booths or other shared devices where it is undesirable for the user to login to the device directly.

Demonstration 1

In the first deomonstration, a person can browse to the site (on their phone or tablet, ideally), login with Facebook and the system generates a QR code unique to them. This code can then be scanned on the booth at a later date and used to allow serverside integration with the Facbook Platform without the user having to log in to a remote kiosk.

Live Demo

• Load the 'booth' - http://telliott.net:18274/booth. Requires a modern browser with user media support and an attached webcbam. Tested on Chrome 22. Use that. Allow access to the camera.
• Load the user code - http://telliott.net:18274/. Use your smartphone ideally.
• Scan your code from your smartphone with the webcam. The 'booth' should show a personalised view.

Demonstration 2

Live Demo

• Load the 'booth' - http://telliott.net:18274/dab. Requires a modern browser with user media support and an attached webcbam. Tested on Chrome 22. Use that. Allow access to the camera.
