SMS to Paper Airplanes

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:26:04 GMT

Christian Groß quote:

I tried to visualize the text message communication between my girlfriend and myself. Since we are in a long distance relationship and living in two different countries text messages are often the easiest way to communicate. The challenge was to find a medium, which is variable and able to visualize the information of the text messages, but at the same time allows to keep the content private. For me the paper airplane was the perfect image for this scenario, because the text messages as well as travelling by plane are the most common ways for us to cover the distance. Additionally the paper airplanes were divided in two types depending on the length of their text. Finally, the paper airplanes resulting from this construction plan were placed in the room depending on the time when they were sent, as well as their emotional value.

Bringing improved support for Adobe Flash Player to Google Chrome

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 07:05:04 GMT

Adobe Flash Player is the most widely used web browser plug-in. It enables a wide range of applications and content on the Internet, from games, to video, to enterprise apps.

The traditional browser plug-in model has enabled tremendous innovation on the web, but it also presents challenges for both plug-ins and browsers. The browser plug-in interface is loosely specified, limited in capability and varies across browsers and operating systems. This can lead to incompatibilities, reduction in performance and some security headaches.

iProcessing

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:48:09 GMT

iProcessing is an open programming framework to help people develop native iPhone applications using the Processing language. It is an integration of the Processing.js library and a Javascript application framework for iPhone. The iProcessing download consists of a set of example XCode projects that demonstrate many of the Basic Examples from the Processing web site (originally written by Casey Reas and Ben Fry unless otherwise stated) as well a number that demonstrate the use of various iPhone features such as multitouch, accelerometer, orientation, location, sound play/record, app state saving and so on. It is in development and is currently used by Luckybite and other designers and students for prototyping. You are welcome to use it and if you have any comments feel free to email us here. It is unknown as to whether apps created using the framework will be approved if submitted to the App Store. The software is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind. iProcessing was created by Tom Hulbert at Luckybite in 2009.

Processing.js is a port of the Processing langauge to Javascript by John Resig and is intended for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions for the web in Processing without the use of Java applets. Processing.js uses Javascript to draw shapes and manipulate images on the HTML5 Canvas element.

The Processing language was created by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. It evolved from ideas explored in the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab and was originally intended to be used in a Java run-time environment.

More information on iProcessing plus the download go to the LuckyBite website.

Flash CS5 public beta Canceled.

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:26:48 GMT

Like a lot of other keen adobe flash fans i was very disappointed at the email I received today telling me that I will not get a sneak peak and play with flash CS5, as an old Alpha and beta tester for Adobe I am more than a little disappointed that they publicly announce that there will be a public beta only to receive the email below.

Please take note of this important update: Adobe will not be releasing a public beta of Adobe Flash Professional CS5 software. This is a change from the plan we announced in October at Adobe MAX 2009. Since that time, Adobe has seen an unprecedented amount of interest in Flash Professional CS5 and the included Packager for iPhone.

The decision not to release a public beta was made to ensure the earliest possible delivery of the final software to the large number of designers and developers interested in Flash Professional CS5 and the included Packager for iPhone.

For additional information about this announcement, please visit the Flash Platform blog.

Go Googles own programming language

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:30:22 GMT

Today the search giant Google released Go, an open-source development language that Google believes will combine performance with speed, and one that the company probably hopes will reshape the development and software industries in its favor.

Go is based on the C programming family, one of the most widely used programming language trees in the world. However, the twist is that incorporates elements of Python (a preferred development language within Google) and the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family to make faster and more dynamic programs.

Here is a tutorial to get you started
