What can be done with 200 Nokia Lumia 825 smartphones (development models based on the Lumia 820) on hand?
Rudy Weena ( by Rudy Huyn ), an independent developer of mobile applications and a great connoisseur of Windows Phone platform, had a great idea in this regard, to realize that he could at the Microsoft BUILD conference in San Francisco.
Representatives of Nokia and Microsoft asked Rudy to create something really impressive for BUILD visitors - something that could not be missed. As a result, conference guests were greeted by an interactive panel with a total resolution of 12,000 by 6,400 pixels from Nokia Lumia smartphones. On the screen were presented the best applications from the “Windows Phone Application Store” and a huge map, which was controlled via Wi-Fi (IP multicast) using another Lumiya. Rudy also helped write a program to bring this impressive modular display to life.
By the way, Rudi is the winner of the Lumia Geek 8-Week Challenge , and he came up with the idea of an interactive display with Bing cards more than a year ago. Just before, the developer did not have enough smartphones to implement it.
The design in action looks really impressive, you can estimate the scope in this gif-image . In addition, visitors to the exhibition could not only study the huge display, but also mark their cities on it - that is, actually add themselves to the map.
