Using a remote device (tablet, phone, etc) to provide a user-interface for LabVIEW

[vito]

I've put together a list of the various methods/products that allow a remote device to be used as a user-interface for LabVIEW. The post can be found at http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Using-a-remote-device-tablet-phone-etc-to-provide-a-user/td-p/1813504. I'm interested in hearing your comments and info.

IMHO, websockets will make all of them obsolete. Firefox 7 is available on android and Ipad/Iphone comes shipped with websocket enabled Safari (iOS 4.2). There has already been a proof of concept implementation on this thread.

Hi Shaun,

From my brief look into the various technologies so far, I suspect that NI's Data Dashboard and what you mentioned will become the two standards. The websockets solution will need to be packaged for easy consumption and include a decent user manual.

I like the idea of two competing technologies . If it wasn't for such competition, we'd still all be using DOS!

Really? I've read the thread, but wasn't aware that the iOS safari supported it. I may take a serious look at it now then! There are a few of our projects where an iPad interface would make a customer ecstatic.
