One word: commands.
Until now, the job of any device connected to Overlay.live was to stream telemetric data. It’s simple: stream the data and use it to generate real-time telemetric overlays for broadcast and live streaming. But what if we could go the other way around?
What if with the press of a button you could affect systems or certain behaviors on a device. Well, this is now possible. Here are commands!
It’s been a little more than a year now that we’ve semi-privately released the first beta version of the Overlay.live android app on the plays store. Now after several months a re-design and development, the new app version is and publicly listed! Whohooo \0/
You can download it from here on the Google Play store.
If you tried the very first beta version of this app, you won’t recognize the new one. We pretty much redesigned the whole thing. We’ve taken a very different approach and baked into the app more usefulness. Here are some of the key new features and functionalities. Read more
The ROG_EXT is by far the most popular Managed Device at Overlay.live. This very simple but effective connector helps PC enthusiasts to monitor readings from sensors on select ASUS Motherboards.
Today we are releasing our first fully fledge video tutorial of the overlay.live platform – and it’s using as an example device the ROG_EXT. Read more
We receive many questions from users about what USB WiFi adapters they should use on the Raspberry Pi. Surprisingly this is not just a request from Raspberry Pi 2 users – which doesn’t come with on-board wireless functionality. It seems also that “a lot” are having issues with Raspberry Pi 3 itself and deal with broken on-board wireless. Ouch :/
So to narrow down the choice for you of alternative adapters, here is a list of the known to work WiFi adapters that are fully compatible with the host OS we use for Overlay.live.
We just published a hands-on video with the ROG_EXT by elmorlabs. The ROG_EXT is a Managed Device for Overlay.live which we introduced a few months ago. It is now available in stock and we wanted to share with you some more information about what it can do and most importantly show you what it actually looks like.
In this video we run you through some of the specifications of the product. We also show you how to connect the ROG_EXT to the ROG_EXT port on an ASUS APEX motherboard and to the pins of a RaspberryPi. Super simple!
Quick news to share a little video we shot thanks to our friend Karl at CES in Las Vegas. That’s right, we’ve been to Vegas earlier this month to run a small exhibit on the CES 2018 Cooler Master suite.
Over there, for four days, we demoed overlay.live along with French Pro-Overclocker Wizerty which we mentioned in an earlier news on our blog. The experience was very fun and we could introduce media and visitors to two Managed Devices on the platform:
But enough talking, check out the video to learn more: Read more
If you’ve been following this project, you may know that streaming telemetry from PCs holds a very special place in our hearts. After several months of development and collaboration we are proud to announce that this is now fully possible.
Today you are able to read, stream, and overlay telemetry from nearly all ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) motherboards with Overlay.live. Using an Overlay.live Managed Device is extremely simple and … automagical.
Here are the features: Read more
Good news everyone! Today we officially announce the Node.JS library for Overlay.live. The publication of this library echoes our plan to let everyone connect devices with Overlay.live.
This node.js library is the exact same one we are using internally for the proof of concept managed devices we presently have – like the TeVo X2 RaspberryPi shield or the Cooler Master PSU telemetry. Read more
Today we are really excited to announce the addition of a new Managed Device for Overlay.live, the Cooler Master MasterWatt Maker PSU.
We’ve been working with Cooler Master on this project since we presented the Overlay.live platform to them earlier this year at Computex and it’s been a blast. Week after week the project took shape, and it is now a fully fledged Managed Device – a new member of the Overlay.live compatible devices ecosystem. Read more
Today we are quite excited to launch the beta version of our very first android app for overlay.live, the Overlay.live Broadcaster.
Imagine that you are riding down snowy slopes of Mammoth Mountain. Or that you are playing a paintball match with your local club in central Manhattan. When you would usually see these practices as simple hobbies, streamers or creative producers see an opportunity to create entertaining content. Read more
