I thought voice was still pending. (I haven't tried because that's what I thought.) In the videos I see DJ controlling Six with the tilt sensors in his phone, How would one go about connecting to the sensors it ones phone? What sensors are supported? GPS? Thanks.
Thank you so much DJ ! ...The VR additions are very helpful for me!
For Tilt I'm using the WiiMote control
You can load the Mobile example from the Examples folder of ARC
Cool DJ Thanks. I'm really loving the app. Is that the control you are using mostly in the videos? The WiiMote? I added the movement (left, right, ect..) in the app builder interface and it works on the pc but when I try to use it from my phone it doesn't work. It does connect to my V3
I'll try adding the wiimote and see what happens. Thanks again.
I have a blackberry playbook just sitting around waiting to be usefull. Is there any plans to get the app running for the playbook.
Ant, is your Movement Panel supported in desktop mode? Not all controls are supported yet, as this is pre beta
Yep. It works on the PC just fine. Even through the mobile interface. If it's not supported yet, im cool with that. I just wanted to be sure it want just me missing something. I'll try the wiimote later today well as my tablet. Just been using my phone so far. Thanks again
Desktop mode in android app im asking about. Not all controls are supported in android right now because it's still in development. Is your Movement Panel supported in desktop mode?
