[Nexus 7 General] igotlostintampa:
So, i have an idea im trying to make work.

I just recently bought a $10 clamp stand for 7-10 inch tablets that happens to fit my nexus 7 perfectly, and along with it came an idea to expand my current computer/desk setups abilities.

1. The stand has a weighted, rubber, 360 degree rotatable holster, that is waited enough to safely hang my nexus 7 off the edge of my desk, without risk of it dropping, making it look as if it is attached to the desk itself. that is where it is at the moment.

2. Face-recog: I want to get this interface on my computer, however for now face recognition works wonders on my nexus to unlock it when i sit down, when paired with (3.) i no longer have to touch my power button to wake the device (at expense of battery, which as my nexus is stationary, is no longer necessary)

3. Camera-motion-detection-wake: there is an app on the app store i bought to detect motion even on lock through the camera, when it does, it wakes the device which immediately starts face recognition, when i sit down, face detection will unlock my device.

4. (IDEA) Face recog for computer: If there is an app on the app store that can lock a windows/fedora/mac/ubuntu/mint device while the tablet screen is locked, i want to know about it. However to use multiple programs in sync, a face unlock program is available for windows as long as you have a webcam, if you set up your nexus as a wifi camera through an app on the play store, the nexus, and windows will be seeing the same image through the nexus to unlock your computer, and tablet, simultaniously. --Currently in motion to complete (4.)

5. Because of the voice recognition capability of the nexus 7, it would then extend your abilities to quickly gain knowledge on a subject without opening a window and using google, because of hot word detection, this makes it much easier to use on the nexus seven. (IDEA: i am currently looking for an app that seeks hotword detection while not inside of google voice so i can open google voice from my home screen (or any app) using voice)

6. Assistant, Speaktoit: This application is a degree more advanced then google now, and is freely available on the app store. i will be using a feature to replace google now with assistant by speaktoit, eliminating the need for me to press a button to continue to talk to my assistant.

7. XMBC: xmbc media center was recently released for android, and is installed on my nexus 7 currently, with it i should be able to keep a movie, show, music, or weather up without sacrificing productivity on my computer.

8. SPB shell: this nice, expensive, but nice, shell has a very advanced tablet interface that grants much more potential to a device that is using it. I currently have purchased this as it provides me immediate information, and a sophisticated note widget which i can keep on my desk, as my tablet is now stationary.

9. (IDEA Motion detection wake for both tablet and computer): motion detection can be performed the same way as step 4, using a program that uses the nexus 7's camera to wait for motion detection on my windows computer, both my tablet and computer, will wake the screen, and unlock upon me sitting down at my desk.

10. 1 keyboard, 2 devices: Using the wifi keyboard app originally created here on XDA-Developers, which is now freely available in the Play store. You can use your computers keyboard on both your computer, and your tablet, making your tablet much faster at completing tasks, as you are no longer limited in speed by an on-screen keyboard.

11. Instant messaging: This frees up your computers screen for productivity, while you can then chat on the tablet, using the same keyboard.

12. Audio from both devices, 1 headset: streaming your computers audio to an android device is simple, however streaming audio from an android device to your computer is much less complicated even than that. If you intend to use headphones, using an app that sends the audio from your nexus, to your computer, would allow you to use your tablet more effectively, as you would not miss notification sounds.

13. Talkatone: This allows you to place free phonecalls inside of the US on your tablet as long as you have wifi, with sprint and t-mobile, you can even keep your regular phone number, and recieve calls meant for your phone, on your tablet.

This setup with 2 nexus 7's will only increase computer productivity, same with 3, same with 4, and free up your screen space on your computer for things you want to do, while having things like (music, youtube, videos, social networks, weather, downloading) all on your tablet/tablets.

I will have a video of this setup working, how it will look , and demonstrate any increase in productivity, in the next week or so on youtube, and will embed it here for any who are interested.

I do want to ask though, if any of you out there that read this know of any applications i may not have heard of to help this process, or any other thing the nexus can do to increase productivity when stationary by your computer, Please feel free to add on or aid me in any way, i want this to look as nice as possible.
