Here's a unique situation that requires some brainstorming. I'm looking for any advice or suggestions. Imagine a tennis court equipped with sensors throughout - the net, lines, everything has sensors built in. These sensors are constantly sending signals to a USB device connected to a laptop (COMP1). Additionally, there are two projector screens set up for spectators on the court. These projectors are linked to another computer (COMP2) and can be used as external monitors. My goal is to create an event-driven application to run on COMP1, which will monitor the sensor signals. Upon receiving a signal, this application should then send a message to COMP2, triggering the display of information on the projectors through a web browser. Both computers have wifi capabilities. How would you go about designing such a system? Which technologies would you utilize - ajax, web services, wcf, javascript? The system involves a server (COMP1) and a client (COMP2), no polling of sensors via timers allowed; it must be purely event-driven. Sensor -> COMP1 -> COMP2 -> screen
Your assistance is greatly appreciated in advance.
