Busted Kiosk — A first draft

Screen shot 2010-08-10 at 2.43.53 PM

We’ve got a quick prototype up for the kiosk app. You can see it here:

http://www.opentucson.org/busted/

This is the kiosk app that you would see if you were sitting at the bruegger’s at the corner of Campbell & Speedway. This is live data from the sun-tran website that’s been scraped and repackaged by Kit’s earlier work.

What’s left to do:

  1. rotate the ads
  2. show countdown times, i.e. (next bus in XXX minutes rather than just “at 5:30″)
  3. better error handling (for instance, will this work at 7 tonight when there are no further busses?)
  4. pretty up the interface
  5. it’d be cool to show the bus(s) on a map every 10 seconds or so

Any other suggestions or ideas?
