This app is developed for a specific type of user, namely:
- People who build robots
- Electrical engineers
- Makers (ie, people who build devices)
The app provides these features:
- Ability to pull a stream of jpeg images from a REST endpoint
- Ability to send commands to a Rest endpoint from the app UI
- Ability to integrate with an mFi certified game controller to control the robot while your phone is in a VR headset
- There is also an open source implementation of robot software and hardware that can be used with this app, you can see details at: https://eyesbot.com/blog/?preload=vr_robot.txt
Please be aware:
- The iOS device and the server device stream images and receiving commands must be on the same network.
- You may need to turn off cellular data while connected to the server device (so that the iOS device looks for the server device on the local network)
- You will need to turn off auto lock and low power mode to prevent locking when using the app in VR mode
- If you use a game controller, like with any iOS app, the game controller needs to be mFi certified. Most are not
