Before we begin walking through the code for the new PushToTalk framework, we want to demonstrate how the Push To Talk experience can work in your app. If you are building your first Push To Talk app, keep these integration considerations in mind as you begin architecting your code. Your apps can continue to integrate with these accessories using the CoreBluetooth framework and can trigger audio recording in PushToTalk. Finally, many Push To Talk apps rely on wireless Bluetooth accessories to trigger audio recording and transmission. This provides flexibility in how audio transmission is handled by your app and enables compatibility with other platforms. The framework allows your app to implement its own audio encoding and streaming process to transmit audio between users. If you've already implemented a Push To Talk workflow in your app, it should be easy for you to integrate the PushToTalk framework into your existing code. The PushToTalk framework is designed to be compatible with existing end-to-end communication solutions and backend infrastructure. When your app receives this notification, it is launched in the background so that it can stream and play audio. The PushToTalk framework accomplishes this by introducing a new push notification type that notifies your app when new audio is available for playback. The system provides transparency to users by showing who's speaking when your app plays audio from your server. The system UI allows a user to quickly activate an audio transmission, which will launch your app in the background to record and stream audio to your server. The PushToTalk framework provides you with APIs to utilize a system UI that users can access anywhere on the system without having to directly launch your app. At the same time, a Push To Talk app must be power efficient to ensure that users can maintain all-day battery life while using the app. To provide a great Push To Talk experience, users need a way to quickly access audio transmission features while also being able to see who is responding to them. ![]() Push To Talk apps have many uses in fields where rapid communication is essential such as health care and emergency services. The PushToTalk framework enables you to build a new class of audio communication app on iOS that provides a walkie-talkie style experience for your users. I'll get started by introducing key features of the new PushToTalk framework. Finally, Trevor will wrap up with best practices for enhancing the Push To Talk user experience while preserving battery life for your users. After that, Trevor will walk through how to transmit and receive audio using the framework. Next, we'll go over how to configure your app for PushToTalk. First, I'll introduce the PushToTalk framework and explain how it fits into your app. Later I'll be joined by my colleague Trevor to talk about how you can enhance voice communication in your apps with this new framework. This product is for PC only and will not work with PlayStation or Xbox.♪ Mellow instrumental hip-hop music ♪ ♪ Kevin Ferrell: Hi, my name is Kevin, and I'm an engineer working on the new PushToTalk framework, which enables a walkie-talkie system experience for apps on iOS. We recommend using our USB docking port, a USB extension cable, or a USB hub mounted next to the wheel base to allow the cable to reach. ![]() This steering wheel push to talk button has a total of three functions and simply plugs into any USB port on your PC. Typical uses for the rocker switch would be to change chat volume up and down or change radio channel up and down, but they can actually be mapped to any function at all. We added a 2-way rocker switch to the top which can be mapped to 2 other functions in game. It is perfect for using with our MiniMite and other Direct-Drive OSW wheels. It is designed to strap onto one of the spokes with a Velcro strap to have the button within easy reach of your thumb. This steering wheel push to talk button box is designed to look just like the steering wheel mounted PTT buttons Race Radios use in real race cars. Typically this device is used as a Push-to-Talk button, but can actually be mapped to any function. This USB push to talk button box works as a small 3-button controller that straps to one of the spokes on your steering wheel and lets you map them to any in-game functions. If you need to put some extra buttons on your sim-racing wheel then you need one of these "NASCAR style" Push-to-Talk buttons.
