Open Issues

Contacting the Politecnico staff about how to authenticate students by using smart cards (As in LAIB1D, where card readers are used to login to computers).
[Update]: USB Card readers should be available.
[Update]: Authentication with the card and getting list of courses from student number is not feasible, we will allow users to "sign up" to our service, and input their list of courses.
Analysing multimedia data: Camera and Microphone live information.

Issue: Connecting an external screen (taken from a tablet or a laptop) to a Raspberry Pi.
Solution: We have decided to use the rPi to connect to the user identification device (i.e. Smart Card Reader) and have the main screen query the rPi for user information.
Issue: Getting Sensor information that might be available about classrooms: noise, temperature, etc...
Solution: Sensor information is not available on the Polito Servers. Self-provided sensors must be used.
Issue: Implementing a route between classrooms.
Solution: Polito doesn't provide an API for getting a route through the corridors, to implement this, a custom Autocad script needs to be built.
