poRTCal

A videoconferencing alternative inspired by the game Portal

This is an entry into the meteor hackathon competition.

The idea is simple. We wanted to make it one-click simple to open or close a portal.

Configure your portal by choosing someone (an endpoint) to connect to from a list of avatars (or email addresses) .
Select one, it opens a portal (full screen), ala the game, with all the same coolness (sounds/sights), to the chosen remote device.
The only other features we will have are (maybe) invitation and signup.
Click to open the portal, click to close, pull up the menu to configure as a portal to a new endpoint

We are playing with PeerJS and some other meteor RTC stuff to get things done. Right now we are using peerjs.

It's running here: http://portcal.meteor.com

Packages we are using:
