Boulder Startup Week 2024

Navigating technical issues over the phone can be a daunting task, especially when assisting elderly relatives like my 94-year-old grandmother who simply wants to connect with her great-grandchildren. The challenge of conveying and resolving technical problems remotely becomes even more pronounced in such scenarios.
What if there was a solution that allowed us to bridge this gap effectively? Imagine being able to remotely view the screen, manipulate controls, and input commands as if we were physically present. With the iiPhone, a novel Remote Human Interface Device, this vision becomes a reality.
Join me on a journey as we delve into the intricacies of HID protocols, both USB and Bluetooth, which serve as the backbone of the iiPhone's functionality. We'll explore the Linux drivers essential for enabling USB+HID gadgets, along with the innovative process of flashing phones via the web.
Moreover, we'll uncover the potential of leveraging our ubiquitous pocket devices as conduits for transmitting and receiving HID signals, thereby facilitating seamless remote assistance. Learn how to connect local HID devices to smartphones capable of emulating HID functionality, paving the way for enhanced support experiences.
In embracing such technological advancements, we not only address immediate challenges but also pave the path for a future where distance no longer hinders our ability to provide essential assistance and connection, bridging generations effortlessly.
