 The work may be extended so that it would take advantage of the WCS (pixel->world) calibration to provide direct 3D resolved result if observed from more than a single camera.

+Will be provided by Pi-of-the Sky, expected to be integrated by end of 2008.
-There is prototype implementation of GUI, however I do not have time to finish it. It is in [[http://www.pygtk.org|PyGTK]], uses [[http://www.xmlrpc.com|XML-RPC]] to communicate with RTS2. Code is at SVN [[http://rts-2.svn.sf.net/viewsvn/rts-2/trunk/pyrts2]], to get it and run it execute:

-user@host:~$ cd pyrts2
-user@host:~/pyrts2$ ./pyrts2.py
-</code>
-You will need python-gtk2 installed:

+For description of XML-RPC interface, please see [[code:xmlrpc|XML-RPC wiki page]]. Also see description of current [[doc:gui|GUI]] there.
-user@host:~$ sudo apt-get install python-gtk2

-And you need to have rts2-xmlrpcd running. Currently, GUI support scheduling and have a tool to display schedule. There is a screen shot:
+As astronomers are strange beasts, it **must** be multi-platform (at least Windows + Linux, Mac highly recommended). We do not expect it will be feasible to code all as Web application - standalone application is preferred. The application might integrate various programmes (image display,..) with [[http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SampDoc|SAMP]]. We expect various team members will pick different areas.

+What we expect:
+  * configurable interface to display (using various fancy displays - bars, gauges,..) and change variables, display events, notification and warnings, and display and modify scheduling database.
+  * 3D telescope visualisation, with interface to describe various system attached to the telescope and describe its status, failures etc..
+  * plotting of history of selected variables (temperature,..), similar to what [[http://finance.google.com|Google]] provides for finance or [[http://meteo.othello.ch|Meteo]] provides for meteo data display
+  * display observations, images related to observations,..
