MetaWatch meets Google Maps
MetaWatch 前幾天終於寄出了！（貼心小提示：官網雖然說不能送到亞洲跟日本，但是其實可以送到台灣...XD）我拿到手錶之後就趕快開箱玩了XD 很可惜的是手錶的軔體跟 Android 手機上的管理軟體還沒有 open-source，不過官方是說下週應該就會公開。所以我就先玩了透過管理軟體的 Intent-based API，然後做出了這個小實驗。我用手機的GPS去抓取現在位置，然後下載附近的 96x96 地圖影像。不過由於手錶是黑白螢幕，所以把地圖送去手錶之前要先處理過才行。我在這邊是用了一個簡單的在亮度通道上做閥值過濾。然後就做出了上面這個東西啦～是很好玩啦，不過沒有很實用。XD 再研究看看還有什麼好玩的吧～ :P
MetaWatch just shipped out few days ago. Once I got the watch, I starts to play with it, see what it is capable to do. Unfortunately, the watch's firmware and Android Watch Manager is not open-sourced yet (which they said will be opened next week). I then tried to use there intent-based API and put together this little experiment. I use phone to acquire current location and then retreive Google Maps image for 96x96 display. Before you deliver the image to watch, you'll need to convert it to Black & White image. I used a threshold filter on the luminance channel for this, and the photo above is the result. Kinda fun, but not really useful. :P Let's see what can be done next..
Update: Source code are now available here!
