@alirtariq Before laptop hugging, back in the days of Jamdat mobile, they used an expensive camera/projector device called an "Elmo" projector. These things ran $1200 - -$2000 apiece. Thankfully, technology caught up to the need!
Hey All
I'm part of the team (http://lookback.io) behind Unicorns. We're super happy to release and be on Product Hunt!
To give some context...
Unicorns was started as an internal experiment, we fell in love with how useful it has become and decided that we would love to see how this gets used out in the wild.
It's a first version and early stages, we will be iterating as we progress but would love to get any feedback / questions.
BTW here's an example user stream from earlier... https://unicorns.io/stream/99409...
@hamey@neiltak hi Ben, thats great to hear - thank you very much. We haven't thought too far ahead to be honest, we limited the features also as we don't want to dictate how people use it at this stage. Very excited to see what people do with it.
Cool idea, but why is the performance so bad compared to quicktime capture?
Even without streaming the resolution is really low and even though it states it's 30fps, it certainly isn't 30fps, it's 10 at max.
All though it's great that this single application handles everything at once, if you just simply record quicktime with (for example) OBS, you'll have a much higher quality stream. (both in resolution and framerate)
@jarizwarts the fps depends on a few factors, we've seen very good fps, but its adaptive to your connection and other factors... currently it is limited to 30 max due to the nature of the tech we are using.
BTW when you start a stream, it always starts off low and improves :)
@neiltak What I said in my question was that before even starting a stream, it was already heavily underperforming the native quicktime recording (in FPS and quality) and I was wondering why that is.
I didn't say anything about the stream itself.
@jarizwarts ah ok, apologies miss-read. I think we may have reduced the fps in the preview for perf. reasons when streaming, I'll check that, but we definitely have work to do – pleased to have this version out though. Thanks
@ow Absolutely this is definitely a version 1 release, we have much to do and so many ideas but we were really tough on the features we put in. Kind of want to see how people use this also.
Watched your stream, thanks that was amazing to see!
I've been beta testing Unicorns for the last few weeks and it's been fantastic at solving how we communicate bugs and issues with our iOS app across a distributed development team.
I can now live stream my phone screen to @pakmee who can see bugs happen and replicate easily.
But beyond this it's exciting to thing about the possibilities of the tech, live streaming games and more.
Definitely recommend trying it out, the team behind it is super talented too!
