BIRDSi is an IoT device that enables law enforcement officers to easily control drones in order to patrol common routes and search large crowds for people.
There is a mobile application that is used to commandeer the device - the drone itself. From the mobile app, users can fly the drone, set a pre-determined route for the drone to loop around as well as enter persons of interest into a database of people for the drone to look for as it's flown or loops around.
This app was built for the CS160 class on UI/UX Design at UC Berkeley in the Spring of 2015. It was made in Kinoma Studio and is a prototype - not a finished real-world application.
Instructions for Running BIRDSi
Download the submitted zip files from Hackster.
Open Kinoma Studio.
Open the “File” menu and click “Import”.
In the “Import” menu, select “Existing File into Workspace” underneath “General”. Click “Next”.
In the next screen, select “Select archive file”. Then, click “Browse” and select find the prototypephone.zip file that you downloaded. Once you’ve selected the folder, make sure the project is checked under the “Projects” box. Click “Finish”.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 with prototypedevice.zip.
-
Go to the application.xml file for both projects. Run prototypedevice with the Kinoma Create simulator. Then, run prototypephone with the Nexus One simulator. Both should run and you should be all set up to start using BIRDSi — your eye in the sky!
Alternate Instructions: If the above did not work. (Windows?) Start over with the zip files.
Unzip the zip files. Should have 2 folders: prototypephone and prototypedevice
Open Kinoma. New Application Project. Don't use default location. Instead use the location of the unzipped folders. (Do this step once for each folder.)
Name the projects prototypephone and prototypedevice respectively.
-
Set the prototypephone's xml simulator to Nexus One.
Set the prototypedevice's xml simulator to Kinoma Create.
Run both projects.
