Websocket Communication Between Host and Client Application

This week I successfully set up websocket communication between the designer web app (accessible on desktop and mobile applications) and and main application responsible for generating the projection mapped display.

Now that I can transfer text strings between the two applications, the next step is to encode the JavaScript design objects that Nick, Laith and Tristan have been working on and transfer these JSON strings using the same method. The event listener code on the host application will wait for submissions and when a design arrives, parse the JSON data and set a local variable to the new design data. Three designs can be displayed on the projection at one time (one on each pane of our object). When a fourth design is submitted, the oldest design will be replaced.

Now that this major issue has been solved, the rest of the project will be straightforward to implement since it's only a matter of integrating existing, completed features.
