Nice... us hackers must be thinking the same thing lately - let's use multiple IP devices to do X.

We just released...

SpeakerBlast - Turn multiple friends' IP devices into one massive stereo system.

Checking out Mosiac ... i wonder what other uses of multiple IP devices can be put to use to?



Congratulations on getting SpeakerBlast to work! We've tried doing that before, but getting the time delay low enough for it to sound good is incredibly challenging.


thanks!

I can see an ad agency using Mosiac at conference for Point of Sale demo. 100 person ad agency tells their employees, "Hey bring your Ipads to the conference we're gonna use them to create one huge TV for our video demo."

Cool stuff.


Traffic sensors, temp sensors, sound sensors, flock orientation, record video from multiple perspectives, record audio from multiple perspectives, proximity team gaming....

I expect Mosaic to be a default, obvious tool for all generations. Set one device as the master - and anyone with a screen can add their real-estate.

What would be interesting would be for the app to have a master push out an audio tone and the slaves would listen for the tone and determine their proximity based on the tone and how well it could hear it...


If I remember correctly there's an app that tracks barometric data from Android devices, right?


Yeah its called pressureNET

So just confirming, it's a webapp which would work on all the phones, not just iDevices right? (Asking as you specifically mention iPhone, PC and Mac but not Android)


It's a web app indeed. That will work on Android in the future.

We like Mosiac are bootstrappers so getting our hands on multiple Android devices for testing is a hurdle we'll no doubt overcome in time.


Hey, can you email me? (Email in profile.) I want to run something by you.
