HVBRD (v2 with web sockets)

Interactive hoverboard experiment using a mobile phone and web sockets.

The original version of this project was built using a Daydream controller. To make it accessible to more people, I've changed it to use a mobile phone to connect to the browser via web sockets.

Tech stack

  • HTML / CSS
  • (Vanilla) JavaScript

Current commands

After opening the link on mobile, place the phone on a skateboard and start tilting it from left to right to avoid obstacles.

There is no particular goal or point system at the moment.

Running locally

After cloning this repo, run node server.js, open your browser and visit localhost:3000.

To be able to visit the mobile page, you'll probably need something like ngrok.

Once you have ngrok installed, you'll need to run ./ngrok http 3000 and, using the urls it will give you, visit /mobile.
