Pairing

There has been some experimental work done in OnSong to allow other devices such as Google Glass to connect via OnSong Connect. This screen provides information for pairing those devices.

The majority of the screen is comprised of a giant QR Code. This is like a bar code that holds information about your device.

So what information is shared exactly? Look closely at the top of the screen and you'll notice your web address. This is the endpoint to the OnSong Connect services API. That's all that Google Glass needs to connect.

The OnSong Google Glass app uses the built in camera on the device to scan this code and setup the connection. This is a much faster way than trying to speak the IP address or tap it in on your temple.

We have made this app for Google Glass as a way to experiment and get input from worship leaders and musicians on the use of this type of technology on stage. The general consensus is that it is too expensive and too invasive/noticeable to audiences. We will continue to look into using this as the technology becomes less apparent and more cost-effective.
