Inspiration
With the growth in popularity of online events, came the thought of a virtual halloween party. But, I wasn't convinced that a virtual party would come any close to an in-person one, so Hallo is an attempt at making a virtual meeting application that is more Halloween themed.
What it does
Hallo is a video conferencing application with a Halloween theme; it offers functionality such as audio, video, screen sharing, chat, in-meeting games and more, with a layer of halloween themed objects and features. Hallo comes with a game called "Whack-A-Jack", which is a spin on the classic Whack-A-Mole.
How I built it
Hallo was built using the Twilio Video React App as boilerplate, and uses the Twilio Programmable Video JS SDK and Conversations JS SDK. It also integrates several creepy icons from icons8.
Challenges we ran into
I had no idea of how React worked prior to the hackathon, and we also faced time constraints.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting a functional video conferencing application working in a limited time span.
What we learned
I learnt that it is easy to accomplish a lot of tasks if you find the right tech tools.
