[suggestion] Cease to depend on server #370

I would like to suggest the possiblity of using the application with an USC cable instead of using a server.

Streaming is pointed out nearby as a suggestion.

So multiple phones can see the same thing, but only one phone controls.

I would like to extend this idea in order to make it easier to implement regarding third party servers.

My solution would be that the view-stream provided to a controlling phone should be available to devices connected with a cable.

I would be able to plug in my phone to the pc the other person is playing on, and see what is he playing

I am going to call this scenario "join with cable"
Joining with the server is also an option to implement, but personally i do not recommend to try that, because it seems more complicated, time requiring, and possibly detrimental to performance

Immaterial of connection Wired/wireless, we need a server/streamer. We already able to serve VR data via USB to phone.

But yes its only one to one right now.
