^(All source (fork of the BLE HID project for Cardputer ADV) and Lens is posted to GH. This is an experiment in authoring content in AR. How fast can one type with real hardware vs "air" keyboards. Also, what would a distraction free environment look like if you didn't have 100s of features staring at you and constant pop ups about updates and AI trying to help you. I plan to use this for explorations in interactive fiction in XR, matrix clients in XR, etc.)
^(Definitely some things that can be improved in the experience but I like hardware keyboards over XR keyboards. Open to ideas. The Spectacles 24' don't have a real full BLE api yet, just partial supoprt. On the "Lens" side of things, since this isn't WebXR, it isn't portable to other platforms. Without moving to a websocket type setup (which would work but is complex to make just work), I haven't figured out a good way to get Web Bluetooth working in XR browsers (XR browsers don't get many advanced bleeding edge features). Perhaps a fork of Wolvic could be made to support this, and then I can rewrite the client in threeJS / three-mesh-ui . Any suggestions on getting battery level details working over BLE would be appreciated too. Currently can't seem to read that. Thanks for reading. Really enjoy the cardputer for its utility. Feel free to DM me if you have questions or post to the GH.)
