Hi.
I’m working on my master’s thesis project, which involves showing short films I have made in a poor inner city neighborhood of Miami to the residents of the neighborhood via touchscreen interactive multimedia kiosks. Each kiosk has a video camera that records viewers’ responses to three specific questions after the conclusion of each short movie. The kiosk does not have a keyboard or a mouse. Viewer input is only through the touch screen.
An example of the movies is here: http://vimeo.com/stretchphoto/overtown
Thanks to this forum and some other sources, I’ve been able to script Quicktime 7 to play simultaneously play a movie, record a second movie (the comments), and rename the commentary in a logical fashion.
We’re deploying the kiosks tomorrow, 4/4. The only potential glitch is if someone touches the screen (this would be like a mouse input) while the original movie is playing. This will cause QT7 to jump out of full-screen mode and allow for all sorts of mischief via possible subsequent screen touches before the movie ends.
Is there anything I can add to my AppleScript/Automator workflow that will prevent mouse input (screen touches) ONLY while QT is playing/recording?
Thanks so much.
The kiosks are running on Mac Minis, OS 10.6.7.
