BtGroupLink
BtGroupLink is an Android application that establishes wireless groups. Walk into a room, and your mobile phone automatically connects with friends’ devices via a dynamic ad-hoc network. BtGroupLink lets you exchange text messages and audio chats as well as enabling you to share photos, music and other documents. No dedicated network infrastructure is required; the mobile devices simply talk directly with each other.
A wireless group formed this way is both persistent and mobile. Should the group of users decide to move to any other location together, the network they have formed will move with them. BtGroupLink is written in Scala 2.8 and makes use of the RFCommMultiplexer service. Due for release soon.
RFCommMultiplexer
A generic Android service used by developers to create ad-hoc wireless networks based on Bluetooth technology, RFCommMultiplexer simplifies the creation of multi-device apps. Spontaneous networks are created by simply connecting devices to each other. A device only needs to connect to one other device, and immediately it becomes part of a larger network. Applications connected in this way can engage in coordinated interaction such as multi-player gaming. No access point infrastructure is required. RFCommMultiplexer service is written in Scala 2.8 and makes use of Google protobuf.
Bluetooth is evolving and becoming more and more useful
- 100m radio now widely available
- Connection based apps don’t require pairing anymore
- NFC can be used to connect devices
- Bt radio has become very efficient, it can remain ‘always on’
- WiFi speeds will soon be available
'Just in...'
A streaming Twitter reader for Android 2.2+ with an OpenGL ES 2.0 shader based user interface. Incoming tweets are rendered by a hidden WebView instance. The generated pages are then handed over to the GPU for visualization. Using this method, a smooth animated 3D flow of tweets is provided. Users can reply, and retweet. Tweets can also be forwarded via mail and sms. The 'Just in...' app runs on mobile phones as well as Honeycomb tablets. It operates on top of the AlwaysOnTwitter service described below.
