N-Screen backend: XMPP/Jabber and group chats | Dev Breakthroughs | Scoop.it

The idea of N-Screen (demo) is to have real-time small-group non-text communication – so for example, sharing a programme (or perhaps a specific point in a programme) with a person, with a TV, or with a group, using drag and drop.

We had a number of very specific requirements:

- Real time communication

- Different types of receivers (people, TV/video players, others)

- Structured data transfer

- Anonymous usage

 

We also needed good, open tools and libraries available because of the limited amount of time we had to implement.
