Hello there folks!
I've been wondering for a couple of days: wouldn't it be great if Continuum for phones (with the dock and all) would be a communication standard? If so, then developers could write software for existing hardware to do essentially what the Continuum Dock from Microsoft does. The official set-up would be:
-Phone supporting Continuum
-Continuum Dock
-Screen and desktop periphals
However, that requires a ?100 investment, whilst a lot of us enthousiast may or will have micro-computers available already. Take the Raspberry Pi (2). It has lots of means of communication and has all the input and output slots you need (and more)! I really like the idea of continuum, but as it is I think it won't be for everyone. With such support, wouldn't it be a lot better?
Of course, frame rates or screen resolutions could differ, but hey, it opens up a market to choose from
.
Does anyone know if this is on the roadmap already? Could Windows IoT devices like the Raspberry Pi (2) get support for this?
I've taken the liberty to start a UserVoice idea for this, if you like this: please vote! https://windows.uservoice.com/forum...stions/10458984-raspberry-pi-2-continuum-dock
