LyncAutoAnswer.com – Auto Answer Kiosk Open Source Project
I recently did a collaboration project with Paul Nearney and Scott Hanselman.
We created a WPF kiosk application to auto-answer calls and stream video. It’s designed for remote workers who want a presence in meetings and want to be able to immediately connect without relying on someone calling them.
There’s a full write up on the ModalityDev site about it, and you can get the binaries, instructions and links to the GitHub projects at LyncAutoAnswer.com.
It’s all Open Source, Free to Use – so if you want to create a cool kiosk application with Lync… go check it out!
Or… you can read Scott Hanselman’s post about it here.
hi, great project… thx
do you think its possible for me to change it to work as a silverlight control? in that case what do you recommend?
You could also do this in Silverlight, sure. Have a look at Scott’s original post (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingLync2010SuperSimpleAutoAnswerVideoKioskWithFullScreen.aspx), where he implemented auto-answer without UI Suppression, using just WPF controls. It would be a simple move from there to Silverlight controls.
Great job Tom.These kiosk applications really increasing popularity in terms of security & productivity.
