- thatxliner 4mo agoI mean...it isn't that bad. The actual limitation is the resolution of your smartphone screen
- razodactyl 4mo agoI had a quick glance at source. Base64 and TCP? There's certainly room for a quicker protocol and delta streaming with adaptive bitrate. I reckon Fable could get that implemented quite fast. Unity dependency seems required for cardboard vr? Is that library worth the bloat?
