Project Activity

Update #7

A couple of updates:

FIRST, we have been approached to make the application available on an interactive kiosk at the Miami Beach Centennial Celebration: http://miamibeach100.com. I am looking for companies that will let us rent an interactive kiosk for the duration of the event (March 22-26). Any leads would be welcome.

SECOND, a local media company may help us make the front-end of the user interface more user friendly. I will post more once I have more details.

As always the latest version of the application is here: http://digir.fiu.edu/sealevelrise/

A mostly-working prototype is available here:

We are now focusing on fixing up the interface. Suggestions are welcome! I am creating an interactive interface mockup in HTML5/CSS3 and could use some help. (My pull-down sub-menus are not working.)
