sawine@0: Take 8 people, one 3D-laser-scanner, an embedded Linux system and sawine@0: the goal of developing a Linux client, a Windows client and the embedded sawine@0: Linux server application. Get a lot of challenging problems, even more work sawine@0: but a rewarding accomplishment of succeeding at something others have failed before. sawine@0:

My responsibility was the development of the Window client, including its GUI and 3D visualisation sawine@0: in OpenGL. The Windows client is responsible for: sawine@0:

sawine@0: Problems that the team had to solve were: extending the hardware to get sawine@0: an absolute reference point for the rotation, solving overheating sawine@0: problems on the embedded system, providing lossless synchronization sawine@0: between the server and the clients and efficiently managing the highly sawine@0: dynamic stream of vertex data.
