Background
Our client is a professional dancer, who has been performing around the globe and has met the other talented performers of national dances from all over the world. He came up with the idea to develop the application, through which these dancers can teach and train everyone.
Solution
The web platform is intended for distant group dance learning. The application holds timetables of lessons, lists of subjects, topics, and teachers. 16 users can participate in one lesson: one Teacher and 15 Students.
Before a lesson, a Teacher uploads the audio to the app. A Student then books a lesson and pays for it via a payment system. During the appointed time, a Student has to open the application or enter the website via a mobile device with a camera. After authorization, the Student receives the audio prepared by the Teacher which is uploaded on their device. Then the system estimates the speed of the data transmission channel and tracks when the student joins a lesson.
Security
WebRTC used in the project does not use third-party services that necessitate the implementation of additional security measures. Nevertheless, the technology works via proven network protocols that ensure the security of information transfer. Our specialists provided data transfer between users and the service via encrypted channel (SSL/TLS).
Transparency & Methodology
During the development process, the IntexSoft team followed an iterative approach. Our specialists performed tasks in parallel with the continuous analysis of the results obtained and adjustments to the previous stages of work.
We worked closely with the client in the project, he acted as an expert in the field of the dance industry. The work was performed in a continuous testing mode, where the client took an active part.
