Package Control To get the packages (or plugins) referenced in the episode, you need to install Package Control, it’s nice and simple to install and you can find instructions on how to do so here. Danielrapp.github. Recently I stumbled upon an interesting paper for implementing motion sensing requiring no special hardware, only a speaker and mic!
Unfortunately the paper didn't include code to test it, so I decided to reproduce it here on the web! What is the doppler effect? First of all, what is the doppler effect? The doppler effect is a physical phenomenom which affects waves in motion. Web Bluetooth Community Group. The group has been busy on GitHub, primarily with specification work, but also with supporting code in adjacent repositories in the WebBluetoothCG GitHub organization.

Connected Second-Screen App Experiences with PhoneGap & Audio Watermarks. In January 2012, I started the year with a post on multi-screen applications developed with PhoneGap.
In that post, I describe an approach for creating mobile applications that extend the app experience onto a second screen – where the mobile device drives the content on that second screen… essentially having an “external monitor” capability on a mobile device. Now, I’m going to turn things around… I’ve been experimenting with a few ideas of connected secondary-experience applications, and I figured this would be a great way to come full circle and end 2012. I see the secondary app experience as having huge potential for our connected/media-centric world. The secondary app experience is different in that the application is your “second screen”, perhaps a companion to something else that you are doing.

The phone in your pocket is an amazing, fluid, multi-functional tool.
When it comes to talking to other devices, such as your TV or laptop, the user experience drops off sharply. Bill Buxton speaks eloquently on the subject, describing three stages of high tech evolution: Device works: feature completeness and stabilityDevice flows: good user experienceMany devices work together But connecting devices is a pain and we have been squarely at stage 2 since the release of the iPhone.
There are many competing approaches to do this: Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, WiFi direct, discovery over the same local WiFi network, and many many others. ECMAScript 6: New Features: Overview and Comparison. "A good programming language is a conceptual universe for thinking about programming.
