You will need the following:
- A pair of ActiveLook® glasses
- Android Studio
- An android phone/watch with BLE
Known supported Devices :
- Engo : Cycling & Running action glasses (http://engoeyewear.com/)
- Julbo EVAD : Premium smart glasses providing live data for intense sporting experiences (https://www.julbo.com/en_gb/evad-1)
- Cosmo Connected : GPS & cycling (https://cosmoconnected.com/fr/produits-velo-trottinette/cosmo-vision)
First, you need to add a file called '.env' at the source of the project. This file will contain only 2 lines :
ACTIVELOOK_SDK_TOKEN = ""
ACTIVELOOK_CFG_PASSWORD = 0xDEADBEEF
The name of the app is defined in the strings.xml file.
- app\src\main\res\layout\content_scrolling.xml
- app\src\main\res\values\strings.xml
- app\src\main\java\com\HelloWorld\demo\MainActivity.java
In order to get the best performances, the ActiveLookSDK directory should be the latest release from : https://github.com/ActiveLook/android-sdk
After launching this demo, you have to wait while the data of the config (mainly fonts) are uploaded to the glasses - because of the lines 165 to 177 of MainActivity.java
These files is generated under Windows with the python scripts from : https://github.com/ActiveLook/Config-Generator but modified as described in the application : ActiveLook FONTSIZES
Then, you can try different features of ActiveLook :
- DEMO : a clock is displayed with the glasses and phone/watch batteries level at the top
- TEXT : you can hit several times on that key and will see different fonts displayed in the glasses
- GESTURE : put you eye in front of your left eye and it will increment a counter; if you do it twice in less than 5 sec, it is a 'double clic'
- GPS : some GPS data are displayed if you can get GPS signals
- IMAGE1 : you can hit several times on that key and different images will be displayed in the glasses after some seconds, the time to upload them from the phone/watch to the glasses
- IMAGE2 : a different way to display the images using configurations
- SCREEN : a screenshot of your phone/watch is displayed in your glasses. But I don't know how to keep that function running while using other applications. I you know and can help me : Your advices are welcome !
- GRAPHIC : some examples of lines, rectangles, circles written in the glasses
- BITMAPS : some examples of the bitmaps available in the glasses are displayed
- ANIMATION : some animated pictures are displayed in the glasses, they are generated from animated GIFs or a series of images with the Config-Generator mentioned above. NOTE : in the build.gradle you need to use this preliminary version of the SDK : implementation 'com.github.ActiveLook:android-sdk:feat~anim-SNAPSHOT'
