Hi Guys! Dev here, got some ideas for air gestures to integrate with different Apps, was just wondering if community has got some really cool compelling idea to implement.
I was thinking that it could be used for AR APPS as a panning tool, I study anatomy and I'm hoping apps like 3D4Medical will take advantage of the gyro sensors found in the S pen of Note 10
Great question. What's the current usage scenarios?
Tennis game
Mouse pointer in Dex Mode.
a music app where moving it up changes the pitch, then we can all have unique sounds for our signatures!
Zoom in out or in browser (like in camera app)
Might be hard but an overlay that emulates touches on apps like chrome or instagram etc.
When I was talking to my daughter about air gestures she geeked out that it could be like using a wand in Harry Potter. She said you could use the gestures in the game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite for the various functions? The ones she used as examples were "Lumos" which would turn on the flashlight, "Avada Kedavra" to turn off the phone or "Alohomora" to unlock it. Anyway, she was incredibly excited about the possibility of something like these working with the S-Pen. I have to imagine others would go nuts for it as well. As to what gestures to associate with them I don't know but this may help https://www.ign.com/wikis/harry-potter-wizards-unite/Spell_List
Other than that, think of common tasks that are in a variety of apps (copy, paste, open, close, play, pause, skip) and create gestures for those to start with. They will by far be the most used and useful.
Using air gestures on Instagram might be a cool feature to have.
Air Gesture was invented for Tinder.
air gestures has been there for a long time. gear vr controller is one of them.

Or is it possible to use games with the physical keyboard?
Only one that I know of is the quake 3 port for android.
Here http://code.google.com/p/kwaak3/
The dev would have to include that functionality in their game unfortunately, nothing we can do on this end. But, you can play Playstation Games using the FPse emulator on the market, and that lets you map buttons to the physical keyboard.
There's an app coming out (out already maybe?) for jailbroken iOS that maps bluetooth controller input to touch regions on the screen.
Basically it takes input from the controller and passes it as if someone had touched the appropriate control area.
Not sure if something similar is doable within the Android system.
Trying to find where I saw this recently, will provide a link to clarify as soon as I do.
E: BAM!

Something like that would solve the issue in question.
This would be cool for emulators. Sometimes its hard to play games with onscreen buttons on emulators for me at least.

Personally, I've found that the Desire Z keyboard isn't ideal for playing emulated games. Better than touch screen for sure, but not ideal.
Bluez-ime + a wiimote is my preferred choice.
Replica island supports keyboard too, can be found on market.
Ozzy's Odessey is controllable with the hardware keyboard. I found the game very enjoyable

Thought of developing something similar hundred times, but there were problems (can't remember which exactly.. Nice to know that if it has been done, it's possible to do it!
INC by OrangePixel is also playable using the keyboard
Turbofly 3D is great to play with the keyboard!
Greetings ivifly
You can use your physical keyboard with emulators. I use it for my snes.
Sent from my T-Mobile HTC G2 using xda premium app
Rooted w/ S-OFF
Current ROM : G2Slim 1.6
Radio : 26.13.04.19_M.
So far I've found:
Cordy,
Spectral Souls (configurable layout, I assume Generation of Chaos does that too),
Zenonia 4 (weird layout but playable).
other games too
Games like gta 3 can also be controlled through an external keyboard.
Sonic the Hedgehog 1 uses WASD and some odd key for jump (I forget which) on my Desire Z. Not really tried many other as I'm not really a gamer.
I just wondering in forum and found that topic.
Very nice physical keyboard working on all rogue like games , angband etc.
The best experiance with physical keyboard.
I find that the Desire Z keyboard is rather nice for gaming. It's just that the keyboard layout isn't parallel like normal keyboards so using WASD is pretty difficult.

What does that have to do with the statement "It's just that the keyboard layout isn't parallel like normal keyboards"?
Hi
I used to use spen in 3d games like major mayhem one the note 1 because it is easier and I can see more screen that with my finger, but looks like it doesn't work anymore on 3d games, I try to use it but the games doesn't response to the touch of the spen.
any idea?
Doesn't work on note2? Or it is a kernel thing or rom? Do this work for you?
Anyone?
Any solution to this?
They changed the pen technology or something. It doesn't work for every game. Eg: it works for fruit ninja (slicing fruits is much easier with the pen), but doesn't work in major mayhem. I don't exactly know why.
There are many many games out there that are playable on the new Atom powered tablets. Mafia 1 for instance looks great, probably better than any sandbox game for tablets.
And there are many more, think of diablo 2 for example.
The problem is, we lack the controls without a keyboard and mouse.
What I have in mind is an overlay control set including mapable keys and directional joysticks, like the ones most Android games come with by default.
Does anybody know if such an app exists? If someone were to make one, I'm sure it would sell like hotcakes provided the vast array of legendary titles windows can boas with.
So far all I have found are Comfort on-screen keyboard and hot virtual keyboard. They're quite expensive but I managed to play Need for Speed 5 and carmageddon TDR
What we need is joystick emulation, to be able to aim, even though without auto aiming, gaming on a tablet can be quite tricky.
Someone make a gummy stickonscreen Bluetooth capable dpad and buttons for our win8 tablets
Thankyou
I've been working on something like this.
It's all in .net, so it runs fine on Windows 8 and Windows RT. I still need to get it loading configs up properly (for customization), but I've got all the hard/tricky parts done.
It doesn't seem to like Quake, but it works great with DosBox.
So where do those keys come from? Are they built in dosbox?

No, it's a program I made. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142997
I've recently rooted my phone just to try out Gamekeyboard+ with a bluetooth keyboard I happen to own. For those of you who don't know - Gamekeyboard+ is an app which gives you a plethora of features to remap physical keys, emulate joysticks, and tamper with controls in many other ways. Probably the biggest feature is the ability to emulate touchscreen actions with physical keys, for example a gamepad. This makes it possible to make virtually any game compatible with physical controllers. Unfortunately, this last function does not work with Zenfone 2, from what I just learned. Upon attempting to use touchscreen emulation, the phone freezes for a couple of seconds and the app crashes.
I've contacted Locnet, the company behind Gamekeyboard+, and they replied that the cause is probably that the app requires an ARM processor, while Zenfone 2 has an Intel processor.
That is a real bummer... since game makers for Android are usually extremely reluctant to add control mapping options in their games, forcing you to rely on the touchscreen, which is a disaster when playing a fast paced action games.
I'm here to ask, are the any alternatives to this app? I just ordered a gamepad for my Zenfone, but since games rarely support gamepads, it's gonna be mostly useless without a solution like GK+.
Hmm

Hello,
Im thinking of buying a Samsung galaxy fold z 4 for my work in the hospital.
There are two main things I want to be able to do with it:
1-Utilise portable ultrasound using a Clarius Ultrasound scanner which I have and use with iPhone at moment. Could someone please install this free app from App Store "Clarius Ultrasound App",create a free account and load a virtual scanner"demo" in the app and send screenshot in fullscreen mode please of abdominal scan?
Clarius Ultrasound – Apps on Google Play
The Clarius App operates Clarius Ultrasound Scanners for medical professionals.
play.google.com
I would greatly appreciate it as need to know if it will work for work with the ultrasound scanner I have, You don't need a scanner to view the virtual scanner in the app. the virtual scanner mode is used to show off the scan quality that can be achieved with the device.
I'm concerned I would buy the phone and the image would not work in full screen tablet mode utilising the two screens as one large one to show a larger ultrasound image.
2-Interested in using Microsoft word to annotate daily notes but may just use Galaxy notes.Let me know which is best in terms of handwriting search.
THanks for your help
This forum is for the Fold 3. There's another one for the Fold 4.
That being said, the inner screen is one screen, not two, and apps by default open full screen. If you need an app to be a different aspect, you can change that in the phone settings per app, like I use Instagram in the usual aspect instead of full screen because otherwise you have to scroll just to see an entire meme/image. You can also open two apps side-by-side at the same time using the two halves of the screen, or even three apps (one on one half and two on the other half, one on top of the other).
Instead of talking about abilities what or what not.. Here you go a screenshot of the scanner utilized on a Fold 3. This will also work the same on a Fold 4, no worries.
Can confirm this works extremely well! Thank you for the advise
