MultiRoombaRover/plans/ptz unification.md

• make ptz camera better integrated
• keep current fullscreen interface, its good.
  • but remove the card from the vip panel
  • clean up the fullscreen interface to match the rest of the page better
  • have a clear close button
  • on desktop, have some stuff in sidebar and some stuff below the video
    • video should keep the rest of the space
  • reuse rover HUD elements like chat input and not your turn indicator
  • probably make it so that the rest of the page unmounts or unloads or whatever when youre in it
• make it feel more like youre switching to a different rover instead of switching to a completely different thing
• simplify and reuse components wherever possible, frontend and backend
• right now, it feels tacked on, badly integrated, and incomplete
• needs a much better UI flow
• still needs to be a VIP feature
• for users on ptz, make their chats have a rover badge that has the ptz name and a color
• make the cam show up as a room camera in the room camera panel
  • snapshot mode only
• make the ptz queue and join button show up as one roverqueuespanel style rover row below the links panel
  • only show it open for verified users, for non-verified users overlay it with a message and dont let them click on it
  • for mobile layouts, show it below the roverqueuepanel.
• dont worry about not being invasive, just dont break anything

ui flow should be:

1. you are verified
2. you see the ptz camera queue in the ui, it has 2 people in it
3. you click on it, the fullscreen UI opens
   • other people will see you in the queue in the little panel
4. its not your turn yet. the fullscreen UI replaces the page.
   • you see snapshots, you see the "not your turn" hud, same as driving a rover
5. its now your turn. the overlay shows up just as it does in rover hud
6. you control the camera like usual, you want to close it
7. you hit the close button, you get removed from the queue
8. the page returns to normal
