Checking to see if anyone knows of an AD HOC Wireless Voice Communication app that would work on android devices?
Was hiking the other day with friends in woods and was thinking it would be nice to not have to yell back and forth to each other and we didnt have radios with us, but we did have our smart phones with us, BUT there was no cell tower in range so the phones were worthless other than for knowing what time it was and offline apps.
I was then thinking these have wireless network adapters in them.... if there was an AD HOC app made then 2 devices in range of each other you could communicate over a P2P wireless network between 2 smart phones as if you had walkie talkies within whatever range the wireless works for the phones.
So I figured I'd ask to see if anyone knows if there is an app or not that works offline in AD HOC mode so that the phones can talk P2P and over their own wireless in an area that has no wireless network to hop onto?
Might be a fun project for someone if they are looking at making a android app. I wouldnt know where to begin with it. Biggest thing is that range of wifi between 2 phones wouldnt be that far so a set of walkie talkies would be better.
To me it seems as though this could be done. App would have a AD HOC discovery feature to discover another smart phone to pair to for P2P and know the pairing by hardware address of the wireless. Both smart phones or android devices agree to connect and then the session stays active for 2 way communication until app is closed or muted etc. Then you could walk through woods with a friend such as if hunting and 100ft apart without having to make hand gestures that the other doesnt see or even worse yelling back and forth to each other which scares the game away that your hunting.
