Crazy Ivan

Overview

Crazy Ivan is a service designed to store ‘scenes’, which means an arbitrary collection of objects in 3-space within a geographic area. Devices can register/de-register from scenes as they move through the world, and as they do we build a network of relationships that can be used to determine the transformations needed for other devices.

Crazy Ivan also serves as a UDP Server, communicating Object Change Streams to registered devices.

Detailed documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs.

Features

  • Storage of Scenes (Groups of virtual objects & user devices associated to a latitude/longitude)
  • Efficient calculation of coordinate system transformations based on existing data
  • Means to store manual corrections from users
  • Connect to other services over Zero MQ using Google Protocol Buffers.
  • Scalable microservice design

Crazy Ivan is a part of the AO Aesel Project, along with CLyman. It therefore utilizes the DVS Interface library, also available on github. It utilizes the Scene.proto file for inbound communications.
