My first iPhone App!

I've worked my way through the complex process and I have managed to build my first iPhone app and got it going on my Mac. 

Wow ! 

Papers for me to read.

Yvonne Chat

With Paul and Jeff away I was treated to a some uninterrupted time with Y. Its always good to talk to her it lends me more clarity. 

Things I've go to remember. 

• Start writing up the atrium stuff now don't wait for stats. This gives time to get some review. This is much larger pond I'm in and the bar is that much higher. 
• Need to get some lite demos working for the table for DANA
• Need to think carefully about the work for the touch table. 
• Looks like the big atrium test will be interesting. 
• Have to time manage the library tests too. ( Chi is coming soon). 

Chatted about i-steam. We both like the way that at the moment you can develop a small interesting app and make a money from it with out the huge team of people working on it. I found it interesting the way that people have found interesting uses for the phone sensors ( shaking, touch, orientation, blowing on the microphone). Less complete than the early Xerox inspired mouse/keyboard/Graphic UI more open to appropriation some how. 

OK back to 801 Marking. 

BBC Says surface is the future.

Nice link here

What I think is interesting is that they have the surface working in an well lit space (quite an achievement). 

'Social computing' is the real claim they make with the surface. 

zoomable is back

Zoomorama is a wonderful flash implementation of my Amazon code I wrote a few years ago. Go flash. I'm glad they came up with a way of exploiting a zoom able interface. Nice. 

Big Du

I've written before about audio interfaces now. Apple have produced the new shuffle with an audio interface ( primitive but its prime time). At first I wonderd that they had done speach syntetis on the pod its self ( nice ). Looking at the advert and I realise that the magic is all done on ITunes ( smart) but this does mean that Apple have released the first really big upgrade to the voices on the mac for a long time.

I'll try running Alex on some text to see what its like.

Lets see what this will lead to. I like the idea that we will see more audio interfaces on the other Ipods.

Attrium insperation

I liked the sound code. Amazing what you can do with simple white noise

Quite coool :-)

Signage and wayfinding

An interesting few links off to people interested in the design of signs now moving into the animated realm.

The Sign Design Society.

nternational Institute for Information Design Might be worth joining just to check out references.

Yes and as pointed out by the comment sedg.org

Grand project idea

I've decided what I could do with is a Year planner which I could print out at A3, which would come from my Google Calander. 

Strange it does not exists yet.

Some table designs.

I found some table designs to talk about. 

Open source one mentioned [here] small and uses mini projector.

Don't forget the nice table [here]
