simple screen splitter for google cardboard - google-cardboard

Is there an app for google cardboard that has the functionality of simply splitting the regular phone screen? Is this something the cardboard API is capable of supporting? I've searched extensively and can't find an app that does this.
Analogically my question is : Cast screen is to ChromeCast as ??? is to Google Cardboard.
Update: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.chai.cardboardremotedesktop.lite&hl=en isn't quite what I was looking for, but is close enough for now :)

For videos I use VR Cinema.
If you search for a launcher for Cardboard I suggest Cardboard Home.

building a cortana skill to take a picture

i am trying to build a Cortana skill to be able to take a picture using the surface camera. how to do that? currently my skill is able to do question answers using the bot framework and using nodejs. code looks like
bot.dialog('ScanCardDialog', function(session){
<what need to be done to take a picture? goes here>
}).triggerAction({ matches: /(\w)+ (card)/i});
The only way you can do that is if you have a companion UWP app that can take a picture. Cortana skills can deep-link to a UWP app but cannot access the device camera yet. Hope this helps!!

Bose Soundtouch 30II connect with Google Assistant

I'm using Google Home and Google Chromecast Audio to play Google Play Music or Spotify on my Soundtouch 30 II. It's working fine but I got ONE BIG PROBLEM. I always have to turn my Soundtouch with the remote or the Soundtouch App on to hear the music. It's not that smart if you have to do this step by hand.
Now I'm searching for a solution to integrate my Soundtouch 30 with the Google Assistant. Are there any possibilites like IFTTT, an App, SDK, API or something to do it?
Yes! You can use the Spotify Connect Web APIs to control Spotify from your Google Assistant.

Using Spotify with the new Google Assistant SDK?

Is it possible? I can't figure out how. I can only find instructions detailing how to set up Spotify using the Google Home app.
Per the release notes, playing music is not currently supported in the developer preview.

embedding audio into blogger

In Blogger I am trying to recreate the audio feature used in this web site http://www.talkenglish.com/lessondetails.aspx?ALID=2001 where you click on text and hear the audio (an mp3 file) instantly. When I embed identical code into a Blogger page and click it, it wants to play the mp3 file by kick starting Windows Media Player. I don't want a solution like SoundCloud that creates visible player controls. Can anyone suggest a solution. I am hoping to use it to create an online amateur speech therapy package to support some voluntary work I do in this area.
Thanks
That site is using a file called audioplayer.js. To be honest, I am not exactly sure if that's custom built or not. You can look at the source for that here. You have a bunch of options to get the functionality you're looking for. A couple are below.
You can use SoundManager2 which is a very robust JS Sound plugin.
You can also use HTML5's built in <audio> element. You can read more about that here

You seem to not have done any background learning on iOS, judging by the broadness of your question.
I would recommend the Apple Documentation (Getting started) as a good place to start.
Also, see some of these books on Amazon.
To answer you question, there are a few frameworks to look into, for example AV Foundation.
