No problem with clusters.
Digits more painful:
completely different algorithms needed for each sub-detector
geometry/segmentation somewhat dented
will need to be changed for alignment anyway
Separate general VSD part and ALICE specific stuff.
Specific parts: VSD creation, display of digits; eventually alignment/calibration
Code almost ready; must do the split on code-management and build-system level.
split code ---> ? ---> profit! (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underpants_Gnomes)
allow partial visualization without ALICE libs (interesting for some users/outreach)
application state become cleaner -> easier structuring of managers and GUI
easier implementation of user-branch registration into the VSD trees (requested by Cvetan and Marjan)
Done on code level; again needs file movement in CVS.
Rendering in ROOT GL
Offscreen rendering
Alja's idea for a foolproof front-end: computer-game like environment.
ideal for outreach / demonstrations
AliEn interface, SC-2005 demo (?)
Consists of a general system for event delivery into object renderers and the overlay concept (part of scene that is probed upon each X-event).
Only have a prototype.
Played with it during last vacation (first two weeks of May).
Provides extended user-feedback and improves orientation in 3D spaces.
Proof-of-concept only; might be interesting for SC-05 demo.
