sends device orientation data to another device via websockets

note: device orientation requires https... and websockets cant function w mismatched secure and not secure, so a self signed https certificate is requred, but dont worry it's easy 👍🏼

npm i

run from the command line:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -new -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

then place the cert.pem + key.pem files in the root of this directory (peer w this file)

npm run server

on your DEVICE navigate to the SERVER's IP + port to accept the backend self-signed certificates (that's https://192.168.1.14:9000 or your local IP address). in Chrome you click advanced, then proceed to (unsafe) site, then if appears that nothing happens because the server isnt serving anything.

npm run client

on your DEVICE navigate to the CLIENT's IP + port, accept those self-signed certificates (that's https://192.168.1.14:8000 or similar)

• 1 server (computer)
• 2 clients (device + computer)

1. input the IP + port of the server in the input field, then click connect. (something like: wss:https://192.168.1.14:9000)
2. monitor your device's orientation in the server console. the server simply broadcasts this data back out to any other clients listening
