One of the main goals of the Galicaster project is to provide end-to-end solutions. , Therefore, as part of the developing process, the selection and adaptability of suitable hardware to fulfill the needs of diferent scenarios is taken into acconut.
So far we are working on four main scenarios and their equipments: a totem alike installation, a fix installation, an access grid facility and a video-conferece. The hardware installed on the latest two scenarios can be used as part of the Galicaster system, thus saving resources.
We will take a look into each installation separetally:
Wheeled Totem
The totem it's the first prototype developed and it's already operating. It's equiped with a tactile screen, a HD webcam, a wireless microphone and a VGA capturer all in a wheeled platform, so it can be moved at will or transported to other classroom if necessary. It has a Galicaster Class installed and it can be used automatically or or manually.
The totem it's specially usefull in temporal installations, in close-range recordings and in small or medium sized rooms.
Access Grid

Video Conference Room
