> Earbuds don't have displays, so the only way to transfer data to/from them is either via bluetooth, or the UART contact pads. Bluetooth is pretty slow, you'd be lucky to get a consistent 1mbps connection, UART is easily the better option.

Does this means you can run a doom instance on each bud? Is it viable to make a distributed app to use the computing power of both buds at once?

This was a stretch goal, multiplayer. One earbuds versus the other. It's not that hard to implement but I've got a few other things to clear away first.

Using them for distributed computation though? interesting use of free will xD

		Single player, but stereoscopic? One display from each bud. "VR Doom has been ported to an earbud(s)" ;)
