I expect to receive a [Ricoh Theta][1] in the upcoming days. For taking pictures, the camera only has a shutter button. Exposure compensation and remote shutter are supposed to be controlled via a smartphone app, available for Android and iOS. For wireless connection, the camera provides a Wi-Fi access point: SSID and password are printed on the bottom of the camera.
So it would be possible to connect to the camera from a Firefox OS device. To send commands for remote control, however, a non-HTTP protocol [needs to be used][2]: [PTP/IP][3] This protocol is used also by other Wi-Fi enabled cameras, of which there are more and more. Does Firefox OS provide a method to interface with devices using custom protocols built on top of TCP/IP?
