iOS 7 Leaves Older iPhones And iPads Out Of The Fun | TechCrunch - 0 views

  • iOS 7 hits iPhones this fall, but only the iPhone 5 and iPod touch will get all the features announced at WWDC. The iPhone 4 and 4S will get the new look and a splattering of features. And forget about the iPhone 3GS and older iPhones. They will be stuck in the skeuomorphic world of iOS 6 forever.

    Really funny!  Perhaps we could play on this idea for e-Fiesta... maybe have a camera where we invite people to look into the camera and find their faces suddenly popping up in a poster of themselves - complete with the #efiesta tag, or something like that. What strikes me is the use of humour and fun in marketing and publicity, especially when it comes to social media. E.g. I esp like how the burly man was very amused at a Hulk'd  version of himself standing over a burning city. People do like to see positive photos of themselves - especially when done by others. (But wonder how the MDs would feel having to photoshop in real-time haha. :D)

    I've been thinking. If the highest level of e-learning is augmentation of existing teaching and learning capabilities, then why not investigate cloud supercomputers - the logical extrapolation of today's cloud computing. Imagine the learning possibilities if students could easily run simulations using real-world data to investigate real-world phenomena or even social ones, to see what would happen if you tweaked certain environmental / historical conditions. Then teachers could use the various simulated outcomes as a starting point for discussion purposes - e.g. if everyone on earth had a car, what would happen to the earth's temperatures in the next few years? and then ask further questions from there using fundamental principles. Less time spent on tedious models, and more time spent observing systems interactions, may help make the next generation of It sounds like a very high-level concept, but I think a practical example is when I used the speech-to-text convertor feature of an English dictionary app on my iPhone to help a boy learn how to pronounce words correctly. It turned a boring dictionary into a fun interactive game for him, and he learnt a few new words along the way. Just some food for thought this holiday season. Merry Christmas!

    A very interesting and innovative storytelling game for two players. How it works is that one player moves the "game" characters around a stage, selecting any object to interact with as he pleases. The other player is the "gamemaster", who determines how the selected object / character will interact with the "player". Each side takes 30 seconds per turn... which leads to very interesting results. Very useful for making flipbooks, interactive real-time storytelling. This storytelling game helps to restore the ancient art of making up engaging stories in real-time, as you go along. For an animated explanation of how the whole thing works: http://sleepisdeath.net/slideShow For an example story (this one is about a 5-years-old boy during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima...): http://sidtube.com/gallery/168/ More stories: http://sleepisdeath.net/stories.php Have fun exploring the stories! :)

    As cool as Chirp is for fun, personal sharing, it's even better for mass communications. For example, TV shows constantly tell viewers to follow them on Twitter or go to some web site. What they're doing is giving the audience a homework assignment, making them type a code in order to receive some information. However, with Chirp, TV shows could just play the chirps. Viewers watching at home would passively receive all the content chirped by the show. TV shows could allow photo "uploads" by phone, too. You can imagine TV shows providing a number that has an answering machine. Users could snap a picture, then leave the chirp of the picture as a message on the machine. It works just as well on radio, on podcasts, in videos and any situation where sound is involved.

  • Do you struggle to remember the periodic table of elements, but have no trouble recalling all of the Pokemon? Can’t find that French vocabulary word you crammed on the airplane to Paris, but still remember all the words to “We Didn’t Start the Fire?” The reason we struggle with remembering some things and have trouble forgetting others, some experts say, might not be simply because some things are fun and others are boring. It could be because, paradoxically, we learn better when we’re not concentrating.

Skeuomorphism & Storytelling / Tobias Bjerrome Ahlin - 0 views

shared by yeuann on 14 May 12 - No Cached
  • Designers love to hate skeuomorphism. It’s just decoration, they say. It’s completely useless. It will go out of style. Or as Mark Boulton, co-founder of Five Simple Steps, put it on twitter: I really wish everyone would stop making digital things look like real things. A screen is not a drop shadowed, bevelled, wooden plank. Yet Apple and many other software developers continue to use it heavily in some of their apps. Many hate without asking: Why? Why is Apple and so many others continuing down this path? They have all lost their sense of good design, surely. No?
  • Skeuomorphism is about communcating and reinforcing feelings – getting an application to become a memorable experience, not just a tool. It’s about communicating the purpose of a UI, not only the functions it enables.
  • An interface that is not only easy to use, but fun to use, engages the user and creates an experience where obstacles are easier to overcome, and thus an experience where the product is easier and more effortless to use. Done right, skeuomorphism can retain the simplicity and ease of use of an interface while empowering users to act.

  • Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true.
  • Flash is a closed system.
  • Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Flash has not performed well on mobile devices
  • To achieve long battery life when playing video, mobile devices must decode the video in hardware; decoding it in software uses too much power.
  • The difference is striking: on an iPhone, for example, H.264 videos play for up to 10 hours, while videos decoded in software play for less than 5 hours before the battery is fully drained.
  • Flash was designed for PCs using mice, not for touch screens using fingers. For example, many Flash websites rely on “rollovers”, which pop up menus or other elements when the mouse arrow hovers over a specific spot. Apple’s revolutionary multi-touch interface doesn’t use a mouse, and there is no concept of a rollover.
  • letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform.
  • Our motivation is simple – we want to provide the most advanced and innovative platform to our developers, and we want them to stand directly on the shoulders of this platform and create the best apps the world has ever seen. We want to continually enhance the platform so developers can create even more amazing, powerful, fun and useful applications.
  • But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.

    According to steve the no. 1 reason Apple not supporting Flash is that it does not support multiple touch screen when most modern device is supporting.

  • Gamification is the concept that you can apply the basic elements that make games fun and engaging to things that typically aren't considered a game. Examples are Frequent Flyer Programs, Wii Fit, badges in Foursquare, etc. The possible applications of game dynamics are nearly infinite with many believing that gamification will impact everything from the web to education, health, and work.
