The Baleinev association has been organizing the "Baleinev Festival" music festival on the HEIG-VD campus for 30 years. This festival likes to distinguish itself by its originality and proposes, in 2014, for the first time, the "Pimp My Wall" concept. The windows facing the courtyard are used as giant screens, displaying interactive content, visual animations and, above all, the possibility to draw remotely from the festival-goers' cell phones. In 2018, the concept was taken up from scratch and gave birth to "BeeScreens". The ambition of the project is to design a system allowing the development of interactive applications streamed on the Internet. Its first use was successful during the Baleinev Festival 2019. This new system uses various technologies that allow several players to draw at the same time on the same canvas. The source code of this project is fully accessible and is actively under development for the next Baleinev Festival in April 2024.
Different tools allow to draw on the canvas and are presented here.
The canvas is automatically erased every 3, allowing you to start a new work. Be respectful of other drawers and let your imagination run wild! Have a good drawing!
The frontend is made with Next.js (a React framework) and the backend is made with NestJS. The source code of the project is available on GitLab at the following address. If you are motivated, do not hesitate to contribute to the project!
