The streeteyes from xeus

streeteyes's Introduction

StreetEyes is your eyes on the ground, connecting the globe through remote observers.  It coordinates people who want images, updates or video from a remote location, with people who can provide that on-the-ground real-time information via mobile phone.  The app originated as a project for the ITP Mobile Web class.

As an example, the viewer is a student at ITP and wants to know how busy it is at school.  The viewer taps a broadcaster’s icon on a map who is located at ITP.  The viewer requests from the broadcaster that s/he broadcast a video stream, send photos, or write a short description of how busy it is at school.  The broadcaster sends the multimedia to the viewer and uses chat/voice to coordinate the exchange,  and the viewer ends the request after s/he is satisfied.

StreetEyes is being coded for Android 2.2, using PhoneGap & jQuery Mobile.

Google Maps first-load issues

When the two dynamic Google Maps first load on #viewer and #map_page, they are not placed right within their DIVs, so the map shows as incomplete and gray in some parts. So there's a function that runs when you select the jQuery Mobile page to trigger the event to check the size and refresh the map, making it work. But I'd rather get rid of this hack completely.
