Hangout Summary

Participated: Itamar, Ran, Noam, Sharon, Omri.

First on the agenda, Ran and Noam reported on progress from CS side:

• App:

1. Android app has been consolidated into single app
2. It can now identify the song being played on the device, regardless of what player initiated the playback. This makes the app player agnostic and is a huge boost of user experience as it frees users to choose their own player (instead of forcing them to use ours)
3. The app only needs to be converted to a service

• Cloud:

1. Website and WebApp already exist on MS Azure infrastructure.
2. DB (MS SQL?) is also set-up for the project
3. Basically all components should exist
4. REST API needs to be implemented for communication between the components of the system

Next up Sharon and Itamar started a discussion about the user experience (following comments received from Microsoft. Bottom line that was agreed upon was that the "barrel" design should be forsaken for another one. 
It was suggested to use a "seashell" metaphor: users can listen to music which was collected at other locations using headphones installed in the device (which will retain the data visualization aspect probably via a screen).

This is to be discussed with Guy/Noa tomorrow at class.
