2. Preface
• These slides describe the journey I made
to the TADHack mini Paris 12 – 13
december 2015
• My journey started at home and ends at
the NUMA on the stage presenting my app
• Have fun!

3. At home: The “Droste effect” or rule 4 of Codd’s relational model

4. At home: Register for the TADHack

5. Things that started this journey
Zillions of digital photo’s scattered all over the place
– In 10 years time I collected a huge and monstrous pile of digital photos
 Do I hear MongoDB?
– All spread on digital cameras, laptops, external backup disks, smartphone(s) and in
somewhere in the cloud
 Time to get organized?
The Colossal Cave Adventure
– The classic Adventure game by Crowther and Woods from late ‘70
– About moving thru a maze by different connected locations
– See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure
– "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike" is a memorable line from the
game
 A usable structure
Applying some new technology like Meteor Kitchen, Meteor and WebRTC
 A personal challenge!
At home: Why this journey ?

6. At home: Zillions of digital photos scattered all over the place

7. At home: The Colossal Case Adventrue – a classic from the late ’70

8. At home: A game with a real command line UI (looks like UNIX)

9. So, what’s the idea?
• Track your journey’s impressions right-a-way
– Create your journey
– Add location and connect them
– Upload your photos, text, videos, sounds and such
• For your family and friends at home
• Have them enjoy, engage and interact by:
– Select a journey and move thru the locations
– Interact with WebRTC based videochat
At home: The idea for the app

18. Meet other travellers
• As a traveller you join a journey
• You move from one location to another
• When you enter a location other travellers can
be present there too
• In that case a WebRTC based video chat comes
available
• Using video chat you can “live” join the
experience of the physical traveller in that real
world location on this planet
• Or you can interact with other “virtual” travellers
Incorporating the WebRTC videochat

19. On stage: Screenshot of the app with the videochat on the right

20. “I can't tell where
the journey will end”
