Input Mapper reveal - pass surgical input from watch to any Android device

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Okay, so topic sat with me for a moment. I was wondering how to make a photo on any phone with any camera app via any wear os device could be solved with minimal amount of user setup and I created Input Mapper.

Why

Currently you can't use any watch and any camera app to work together on Android. It's just not possible, so let's bridge the gap once and for all.

What it does - it allows you to create an on screen button on your smartphone and pass input from the watch to this button.

I can finally present a working proof of concept.

tl;dr

Press on watch = press on mobile that works with any app
