You need gulp to build our web-based transmitter/receiver, and the Android SDK and NDK to build the custom IME.
- Make a recursive clone of this repo
- Navigate into
web, and install the dependencies withnpm install - Fire up the server with
gulp serve - Open up the page, and turn up the speakers
- On another computer, click on the logs to activate the receiver
- On Chrome, the page has to be served on localhost or via HTTPS to access microphone
- Type away and watch magic happen
Not enough magic? Build and install the custom IME under android, grant it microphone permission and focus on any text field.
We used libquiet to encode data into soundwaves.
Tommy Yang, Junlin Wang and Zhaofeng Li hacked for a day to make this happen.
