Using everyAir:
Basics
everyAir has several different forms of input. They provide intuitive and quick ways of interacting with your files, applications, games, and media.
- Mouse and Tap Modes
Mouse input is divided into two modes: tap mode, and mouse mode:
Tap mode: In tap mode, your taps will correspond to a mouse click at the location that was tapped. Additionally, if you tap and drag your finger across the screen, it will create a click-and-drag mouse action on the server.
Mouse mode: Mouse mode is used to position the mouse cursor without producing a mouse click. In this mode, a cursor is visible that represents the current location of the server's mouse cursor. When you tap the screen, you'll create a mouse click in the location of the cursor instead of the location that was tapped.
You can also watch this video to further learn about these differences. - Left Mouse Click
Left mouse clicks are created by tapping anywhere on the screen that is not obstructed by the toolbar, keyboard, or gamepad.
Double clicks are created in much the same way as a single click. Simply repeating a left mouse click in a short period of time will instigate a left mouse doubleclick on the server. - Right Mouse Click
Right mouse clicks are created by tapping anywhere on the screen that is not obstructed by the toolbar, keyboard or gamepad, with two fingers simultaneously.
Right mouse double clicks are created by repeating a right mouse single click in rapid succession. - Pinch Zoom
Pinch zoom allows you to arbitrarily scale your "view" into the server. Placing two fingers on any available portion of the screen and then moving them towards (zooming out), or away from (zooming in) each other will produce a zooming effect. When you are satisfied with the level of zoom achieved, simply release your fingers. Note that the video feed continues to be live and full rate throughout the entire duration of the zoom.
- Pan
Panning allows you to scan across the desktop, or server view, in order to view content that was previously offscreen. To initiate this mode, simply place two fingers on the screen and begin moving them in unison across the iDevice surface.
- Keyboard
Text input is achieved through a complete qwerty style keyboard. This keyboard is summoned by tapping on the keyboard icon located in the upper right corner of the everyAir application. To dismiss the keyboard, simply tap the keyboard icon again or press the dismiss key found in the lower right corner of the keyboard.
This keyboard supports a full alphanumeric character set and provides a local view of your typing history just above the keyboard. You may wipe the history at any time by clicking the 'x' button located on the right hand side of the history text bar. - Gamepad
In order to provide a more comfortable and usable gaming experience, everyAir offers a gamepad feature that consists of a directional pad (dpad) and a thumbstick. Similar to configurations found on popular gaming consoles, the dpad is located on the lefthand side of the screen, while the thumbstick is located on the right.
The dpad is used to simulate the arrow keys of a keyboard while the thumbstick provides a more robust mapping of thumb movement on the iDevice to mouse movement on the server.
The thumbstick provides a more comfortable and non-linear sensitivity mapping (as typically found on consoles). It also provides the ability to independently lock mouse buttons. When a mouse button is locked, any thumb movement within the gamepad will also instigate the appropriate mouse click. This is useful for games that require a combination of mouse movement and clicking to perform more complicated actions. - Snap to Window
Snap to Window allows the user to effortlessly maximize any open application or window. Snapping is accomplished by clicking on the snap icon located in the upper right corner of the iDevice application. The everyAir client and server will then coordinate to appropriately zoom and pan to bring the active server application immediately into full view.
