The idea is to up an interface/client for the projector, in order to play & display video/audio over the network remotely. This will allow for less shuffling and more compatibility with a wider range of devices, for which we may not have all the cables. It also allows for mobile devices, such as phones and tablets, to share media to the projector directly.

The parts still need to be automated, a web control interface is desirable. Currently the clients need to be launched manually, although this can be done via ssh - scripts are available. More clients can be added as needed, and a further control interface for the projector and stereo system will need to be put in place.

== Schedule ==
* '''December 2013''' - Zephyz bought pi with gcmalloc, sasha and noskill, each contributed 10 CHF, and the SD Card provided by fixme/rorist. Raspbian was set up and updated, ssh access was set up (see above), and experimentation began.
* '''January 2014''' - The Raspberry Pi was mounted in a custom 3D printed thing next to the projector, all the wires were hooked up and made tidyish. PiCast, VNC, Synergy and AirPlay were installed. Development rigorous at times.
