Try Touch Bar with you iPad with Touch SOSA Controller.

By

J-Tech Creations, Inc has released application "Touch SOSA Controller Client" on Nov 10, 2016. This is an app to control the screen of a Mac via an iOS Device. What's special about this app is you can use the Touch Bar with this app. Here is a simple demonstration video.



There are some other solutions like https://github.com/bikkelbroeders/TouchBarDemoApp but you need to install it onto the iPad with a developer account which is not that easy.

"Touch SOSA Controller Client" can be installed from the App Store with the following link.



You will also need to install the Mac App https://www.jtechs.com/products-overview.php#touchSosaController. The Mac app lets you stream your screen to an iPad, and here is how you can show Touch Bar Simulator.

1. Install the latest Xcode from Apple.



 2. Launch Xcode and click on "Window" -> "Show Touch Bar"



3. Launch Touch SOSA Mac app and on the status bar, select "Touch Bar"


3. Launch the iOS app "Touch SOSA Controller Client" and tap on "Connect Host" to "Mac", then you can display your Touch Bar to your iPad and use it there.

Here is some known issue.
- When you use fullscreen on the app, touch does not work well.
- Only one finger can be used due to mac cursor limitation. (Even from Mac Simulator)
- It is not as responsive as the actual Touch Bar.
- If you use "Karabiner Element" or such kind of keyboard emulation software, some Touch Bar features may not work. (Even from Mac Simulator)

It is good for testing the new Touch Bar without a new MacBook Pro that comes with one, or if you use desktop Macs. (iMac, Mac Pro or Mac mini)

Anyway, looks like Apple have not shipped MacBook with Touch Bar yet so good for testing anyone ;)

Beyerdynamic T5p Cable Replacement Solution

By
We decided to add MMCX female connectors to our T5p headphones to allow for easy cable replacement / upgrade with any MMCX male cables. First, remove the original cables. MMCX female connectors  I got these connectors in Japan, but I was able to find them on Google too. Push in the connector into the 3D printed parts. You can download the files for the parts we 3D printed  here . The parts were a perfect fit when printed on our 3D printer, but it may defer depending on the 3D printer. Then I cut the original cable to create two short cables and soldered them onto the connectors. The middle prong is for the red wire, and then as for the outside prongs, you can pick one for the ground. After they're connected, you can secure them in place with some hot glue. In the picture below, the cover parts are put on, but those can not be on when you insert the part into the headphones in the next step. Then insert this part from the outs...

 介護の取り組み　遠隔コントロールの実験 Approaches to Caregiving—Experimenting with Remote Control　 遠隔でサポートするには電話だけではできないことが増えてきます。 まるで隣に座ってココだよと指でしめしてあげる感覚を実現したいと思って研究しています。 To provide remote support for the elderly, it's becoming increasingly challenging to rely solely on phone calls. I'm researching ways to recreate the feeling of sitting right beside someone, gesturing and saying, 'I'm right here,' as if physically present.   最終形としてはぬいぐるみにカメラとレーザーポインターを持たせ 年配者の方は家にPCを置きたくないかもしれないので、 ぬいぐるみ（他の何でも良いのですが）家に置いてもらえるような介護デバイスを開発したいと思っています。  As a final form, a stuffed animal is equipped with a camera and a laser pointer. Considering that older individuals may not want a PC at home, I aim to develop a caregiving device—such as a stuffed animal or any other suitable object—that can be placed in their homes.  これまでの取り組み Progress So Far 徘徊防止 徘徊防止のために、ドアを開けたら声掛けする仕組み 機械音ではなく、息子や娘の声を録音しておいておくと反応しやすいのではないか？ やがてはぬいぐるみが声をかけるというアイディアもあります。 To prevent older ones from ...
