  • Crosswalk Shared Mode
    Crosswalk Shared Mode This document aims to provide features description, build configuration, tools integration and the details of new embedding APIs for shared mode. Summary Feature Description Version Check Mechanism Architecture Independent Security Check Built­in Updater Tools Integration Enable Shared mode Configure the download URL Embedding API Permissions XWalkActivity XWalkInitializer XWalkUpdater 1. Summary Shared mode allows multiple Crosswalk applications to share one Crosswalk runtime. Each Crosswalk application is bundled with a reflection layer instead of the full library files, whereas there would be one and only one APK of Crosswalk runtime to be installed on the device for the Crosswalk applications to use. Figure: Embedded Mode vs. Shared Mode The APK of Crosswalk runtime is published on Google Play Store and Crosswalk Project’s official website. The end­users are able to get the APK via Google Play Store or the developer’s self­hosting service. The Crosswalk runtime will be upgraded periodically to introduce the latest feature of Crosswalk and Chromium. The developer has the responsibility to follow up the update cycle and keep their applications compatible with the latest version of Crosswalk runtime. Pros: ● Produces a significant smaller APK size for Crosswalk applications. For example of packaging a simple HelloWorld web application, the APK file size is 20MB for ARM and 23MB for x86. If the same contents is packaged in shared mode, the APK file size will shrink to 68KB. ● The Crosswalk application built in shared mode can run on both of the IA and ARM devices, even the application built in embedded mode for ARM can run on the IA devices, as long as there is a Crosswalk runtime installed on the device.

  • D2.1 System Architecture
    Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology Innovation Action ICT-687655 D2.1 System Architecture Due date of deliverable: 31 March 2016 Actual submission date: 10 May 2016 Resubmitted with minor changes: 28 April 2017 Start date of project: 1 December 2015 Duration: 36 months Lead contractor for this deliverable: Cisco Version: 28 April 2017 Confidentiality status: Public © 2-IMMERSE Consortium 2017 Page 1 of (128) Grant Agreement number: 687655 — 2-IMMERSE — H2020-ICT-2015 D2.1 System Architecture Abstract This document describes the system architecture being developed by the 2-IMMERSE project. This architecture is designed to enable the four multi-screen service prototypes that will be delivered through the project. The System Architecture is layered as a set of platform services, a client application architecture and production architecture. The system architecture is a work in progress; it will evolve both as we refine it and specify it in more detail, and as we deliver each of the multi-screen service prototypes through the project. Target audience This is a public deliverable and could be read by anyone with an interest in the system architecture being developed by the 2-IMMERSE project. As this is inherently technical in nature, we assume the audience is technically literate with a good grasp of television and Internet technologies in particular. We have included a Technology Overview section that summarises a range of technologies that are potentially applicable within the project. This document will be read by the Project Consortium as it defines the system architecture that will be adopted and evolved throughout the project.

  • DEVELOPMENT of HYBRID MOBILE APPS Using Ionic Framework
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Theseus Andrea Sánchez Blanco DEVELOPMENT OF HYBRID MOBILE APPS Using Ionic framework Bachelor’s Thesis Information technology May 2016 DESCRIPTION Date of the bachelor's thesis 23.05.2016 Author(s) Degree programme and option Andrea Sánchez Blanco Information Technology Name of the bachelor's thesis DEVELOPMENT OF HYBRID MOBILE APPS Using Ionic Framework Abstract The purpose of the current study is to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of web-based hybrid apps. This thesis explains from the beginnings of mobile phones how and why it has been created this solution, and how mobile’s history has evolved to need an intermediate approach. It is also studied the general principles of good mobile user interfaces, in order to create a full good user experience from appearance to performance and usability, and how to implement the server side in an Ionic mo- bile application. These have been done providing a general context about the first mobile phones to the latest ones, going through the different mobile OSs and focusing on an intermediate approach, hybrid web-based apps. After that I have explained Ionic Framework and the User Interface guidelines. Finally I have documented my practical part, associating it with the theoretical part, and explaining how I did the server side implementation on my app. The conclusions I took are more general than I thought at the beginning. I have studied this solution with Ionic Framework, with which I have had an overall good experience.

  • Distance Learning and Assistance Using Smart Glasses
    education sciences Article Distance Learning and Assistance Using Smart Glasses Michael Spitzer 1,* ID , Ibrahim Nanic 1 and Martin Ebner 2 ID 1 Virtual Vehicle Research Center, Inffeldgasse 21/A, Graz 8010, Austria; [email protected] 2 Department Educational Technology, Graz University of Technology, Münzgrabenstraße 35a, Graz 8010, Austria; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 November 2017; Accepted: 25 January 2018; Published: 27 January 2018 Abstract: With the everyday growth of technology, new possibilities arise to support activities of everyday life. In education and training, more and more digital learning materials are emerging, but there is still room for improvement. This research study describes the implementation of a smart glasses app and infrastructure to support distance learning with WebRTC. The instructor is connected to the learner by a video streaming session and gets the live video stream from the learner’s smart glasses from the learner’s point of view. Additionally, the instructor can draw on the video to add context-aware information. The drawings are immediately sent to the learner to support him to solve a task. The prototype has been qualitatively evaluated by a test user who performed a fine-motor-skills task and a maintenance task under assistance of the remote instructor. Keywords: distance learning; smart glasses; WebRTC; maintenance 1. Introduction In recent years, many smart glasses devices emerged on the market with a reasonable price. The potential of such devices was already investigated in various domains. For example, smart glasses were used as an assistance system to guide visitors in a museum [1].

Frameworks such as Apache Cordova/Phonegap [2] or Appcelerator [3] enabled web developers to reuse their exiting development skills to build applications for a wide variety of mobile platforms and opened up app development to a massive community. Since then many technologies have been developed: some failed, some succeeded. In this paper we provide a comprehensive overview of cross platform tools using web development technologies and identify trends that emerged from this landscape. Keywords— Review paper, cross-platform tools, hybrid applications, Phonegap/Cordova, mobile frameworks. I. INTRODUCTION Mobile apps have become an important part of our society. The time we spend on our mobile device is increasing every year [4]. However, the time spent on developing mobile apps tends to increase even more, especially when each mobile platform must have a dedicated, native application.
