More specifically, you plug this thing into your raspberry pi/whatever's HDMI and USB port, and then run their app on your smartphone, and on your phone you see the video from the device, and can send input (keyboard/mouse) to it via USB.
For the love of jeebus do not attempt to read the corp speak. I’ll save you the trouble.
Wireless HDMI, plus usb for $99.
Currently on sale for $79.
That’s it.
This corp speak made me so irrationally angry, I had visions of starting a protest of the product… but it’s honestly good and fairly priced, I think, for what it is.
Fire your marketing department and make that discount permanent.
Based on the video (on the "videos" tab), the test setup seems to have ~120ms of latency.
- The Youtube video is 30 fps (right click, select "Stats for nerds")
- I measured ~4 frames of latency between the source device and the mirrored image as shown on the iPad screen
This isn't a scientific measurement; there may be other factors contributing to this delay, but this assessment is based solely on how it was presented in the video.
tl;dr: Probably not good for anything that requires tight timings, such as the fighting and rhythm games used in the demonstrations. The individual in the video mentions "almost zero latency", but I think anything beyond a casual gamer would notice a delay of >100ms.
