HADES Project
The Hades project aims to delivery a multiplatform user interface for StreetFire’s multimedia A/V devices such as the RBX1600. Currently HADES is a PC or Mac-based user interface, but it will be available via the wireless PDA, Web Browsers and TVs in the future. HADES is written 100% Java and is available on all major PC platforms including: Mac, Windows XP and Linux.
The user interface features a pluggable application interface allowing MediaORB-based stereo components to provide device access and control in a simple, intuitive manner. If you have to read the users manual, it's too complicated. The HADES application framework detects all devices present on a MediaORB network and displays a corresponding user interface.
The HADES is composed of the following pieces:
- Abstract Graphical User Interface framework developed with the goal of supporting user interfaces on multiple platforms model of the Eclipse “Perspective” UI model
- Abstract Device Control Layer for interfacing remote MediaORB services into the user interface.
- Swing based implementation of Abstract GUI framework for multiplatform J2SE portability.
- Pluggable RBX1600 GUI Application providing a user interface to the RBX1600 including the following perspectives: Now Playing, Playlist Editor, Disc Editor.
