I just sent some mail to the myshakes folks at UCB asking if they have an

than ~10 seconds so they are really pushing the limit. If they get back to me,
I'll share it here.
The two platforms they support have APIs and infrastructure to make it work at
large scale.
Do you know where to find docs on it? I'd be curious because clearly
this is a hard problem.
Piggybacking this sort of thing on another connection is trading some
connection overhead for a whole lot of application complexity. This being nanog
it’s unsurprising that the discussion is focusing on the connection and
protocol bits, but those are a tiny part of the overall complexity (for the
client, too). 🙂
Well, the network is an interesting part in its own right because of the
latency is so critical. I did notice that at least part of their sensor
network is your phone itself.
