#WearGoPro

WearGoPro is an app to control a HERO4 camera wirelessly from your android wear watch.

It creates a notification, that has controls (like gmail to reply), you basically swipe left to see these controls. You can take pictures, record video, change modes and hi light tag a moment. It is critical to have the least and most basic controls to avoid complications in the field.

##how to:

  • Connect your HERO4 to your phone via WiFi
  • Check that the GoPro is properly connected by opening the official GoPro app and seeing if the live preview works
  • Then, open the WearGoPro app and swipe right the notification on your phone to keep it
  • On your watch, scroll to the notification and swipe left to reveal the controls. It creates two notifications: one with start/stop and tag and other with modes.

###Why not a android wear app?

The watch sleeps when not in use, if you want to change something on the GoPro then you would need to wake the watch, open the app, wait until it reconnects and so on. A notification with controls is way more versatile and easier to use
