no, it doesn't. It finally supports usb video devices, which the gameboy camera is not.
What it could support is a modified usb video device that uses a gameboy camera as one of its parts
It's pretty interesting that there's already people interested in modifying the camera to have a USB port on it.
it's not. It's been done before countless times. The only thing that's different this time around is that the usb cable's other end is connected to an ipad
Something that finally makes the iPad useful!
As a teacher, an iPad with a pencil connected to a classroom projector is so much more clean, wieldy, and resourceful than a laptop/smart-board or just using a regular board with markers. The biggest issue is audio, though. Since apple removed the headphone jack on this model, I've pretty much lost the ability to do audio with visuals in most classroom setups I've encountered.
Apple sells usb-c to mini-jack adapters as well as lightning to mini-jack. A pain to have to pay for an adapter but it works quite well.
I currently use an adapter hub with the USB C port which has the HDMI out. There's an additional USB C port on that for charging, but I wonder if a headphone jack could operate out of that. Thanks for the suggestion.
It sure can
There’s some battery charged mini bluetooth AUX dongles. I used one in my car.
i only really use mine for watching shit in bed. Not that often. If i could go back to before i bought it, I wouldn't buy it.
Mine is literally a paper weight. It's nice, but I have no use for it. Though I do get why it's popular.
I use mine every day for work in education.
At home I use it for my creative hobbies.
I find a lot of uses for the iPad, much more so than my phone.
