Invisibility™ iPad 2 App Enables Invisibility

Invisibility Achieved Through iPad 2 App - Levity Novelty LLC has today released an iPad app that provides simulated invisibility of the iPad 2 screen on a table or other environment, even as the device is moved. The Invisibility™ app is available in Apple’s online App Store for US$0.99.

The Invisibility user simply takes a photo of the table, then lays the iPad flat on the table or lifts one corner. As the user rotates the iPad around its center, or a corner, a perfectly stationary image of the table underneath remains clearly visible.

By all appearances, the screen has disappeared and the user is looking through the iPad as it moves. Users can even see the inside edge of the iPad through the screen, as well as shadows seemingly cast on the table by the empty iPad frame.

Dream of Invisibility Achieved
From the Arabian Nights to the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter’s cloak, storytellers have dreamed of invisibility. Magicians use mirrors and sleight of hand to astonish audiences and make objects disappear. While the Invisibility iPad app can’t yet be adapted to the size and flexibility of a garment or cloak, its core method – combining cameras, motion tracking software, and a large display – can some day be combined to make a greater range of objects disappear.

Uniquely Matched for iPad 2
Invisibility for iPad relies on key technologies introduced on the new iPad 2:

3D gyroscopes that tell the app exactly how the iPad is being turned
a camera that lets users take a life-size image of its environment, such as a table top

Together with the motion-detecting accelerometers built into all of Apple’s iOS mobile devices, and the iPad 2’s high performance graphics, Invisibility draws over a hundred “stationary” images each second as the iPad moves, giving the table top image – or any other image the user chooses – a fixed reality whose location and orientation are seemingly independent of the iPad. The iPad becomes a moving window into a virtual world.

Brain Stimulation Mobile App for Babies

Brain Stimulation for Babies is Focus of New Mobile App Using Universal Symbols and Sounds - Startup iPercepToolz, Inc. launched ‘Baby Symbolizer’ for Father’s Day, a high contrast early development app for Apple iPhone, iTouch, and iPad.

iPercepToolz, Inc. (iPT), announced the release today for Father’s Day of ‘Baby Symbolizer’, its first mobile device app available on iTunes, specially designed to stimulate early brain development in newborns through the use of interactive high contrast universal symbols, shapes, patterns, and sounds.

According to Mies Hora, iPT President, “The majority of designs used in typical nursery accessories and decor are either pastel colors that babies can’t see, or complex images and patterns just too confusing for their early perceptive abilities. Knowing personally how stressful caregiving can be, we designed a low-cost but highly effective and eco-friendly tool to simultaneously soothe newborns and young babies while stimulating their brains. In fact, my own son Hudson is Chief App Tester for iPercepToolz.”

More than forty years of scientific research on what infants perceive at successive stages of development has revealed that babies who are given appropriate stimulation show sustained developmental advantages over babies in less stimulative environments. Researchers discovered that newborns not only prefer to look at high-contrast graphics, but that such images can help produce breathtaking results:

* Increase infant concentration skills and attention span
* Focus and develop eyesight, hand-to-eye coordination, visual tracking, and object permanence
* Stimulate creation of synapses (brain cell connections) by speeding up myelination (insulation of nerve pathways)
* Calm and soothe
* Enhance natural curiosity, neck strength and head control.

Baby Symbolizer is now available at the iTunes App Store for $1.99, and features 34 high-contrast graphics that are viewable in a continuous ‘Slideshow’, or an ‘Interactive’ mode that encourages infants to touch, explore and discover bold visual/sound response buttons. Touching the heart shape produces a ‘heartbeat’ sound and the wave pattern produces an entertaining ‘splash’, for example.

New Multimedia iOS App Snakes from Encyclopaedia Britannica Kids

Deadly Snakes Rendered Harmless (And Fun!) in New Education App -- Latest iOS App from Encyclopaedia Britannica is a Garden of Reptilian Delights - Kids can now get up close and personal with venomous cobras, deadly boa constrictors and poisonous adders, and it’s all perfectly safe.

Snakes, a new multimedia app from Encyclopaedia Britannica Kids, makes it fun to learn about all those slithering animals, with games, puzzles, fact-packed articles and beautiful multimedia. The new mobile download for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch is aligned with the school curriculum and designed for ages 8-12, though even the youngest and most ophidiophobic kids can enjoy it.

The range of features, which makes Snakes like several apps in one, includes:

interactive games, including a photographic memory-match, virtual jigsaw puzzles, photo “brush-offs,” and magic-square puzzles;
videos and stunning photography;
reliable, factual articles on snakes, where and how they live, how they evolved, their sometimes deadly characteristics, and how on earth they move without arms or legs;
interactive maps showing the natural habitats of different kinds of snakes worldwide;
quizzes that let kids test themselves on what they’ve learned.

“These beautiful reptiles captivate kids when they see them at the zoo, learn about them in school or encounter them in the woods. This app will fill in the facts and details about snakes in a way that’s both educational and fun,” said John Russell, who heads the development of Britannica’s mobile apps. “It’s perfect for home, the classroom and to keep kids happy and engaged wherever they may go with their families.”

Snakes is the latest addition to the Britannica Kids series of apps introduced last fall. Others include Dinosaurs, Solar System, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Rainforests, Volcanoes and Aztec Empire. The series gives children in the middle grades engaging new ways to learn using the digital devices they prefer. Working with its development partner, Concentric Sky, Britannica plans to introduce a new app on Knights and Castles later this spring.

New Coloring Book App Color Mix for iPad

Kids Mix Their Own Colors in a New Coloring Book App for iPad - Color Mix for Kids adds an educational twist to a child’s coloring experience. It allows children to mix primary colors on a palette and use those mixed colors to draw.

Children’s creativity has always been limited by a box of colors chosen for them. If their school funds art studies, they may have some opportunity to mix paints and learn the color wheel. However, their exploration via creative play is always restricted by limitations in art supplies, and frankly, the mess that it makes. By using virtual paint, Color Mix for Kids allows for unlimited play and unlimited color selection.

In addition, Color Mix for Kids’ incremental approach to color mixing provides children a more concrete learning experience than traditional finger painting. They can see that equal portions of blue and yellow do not make the same shade of green as two portions of blue and one portion of yellow. This valuable lesson in color theory comes easily through creative play. According to Eightfold Education founder, Justin Lewis, “Color theory is an important educational foundation in order for any early elementary student to develop a talent for art.”

Color Mix for Kids provides a multi-touch enabled canvas to allow siblings or classmates to share and create together. This feature prevents the inevitable arguments that will arise when one child overrides another child’s control of the app.

iPad Hand Therapy App Dexteria to Improve Fine Motor Skills

BinaryLabs Takes iPad in New Direction with Hand Therapy App - Inspired by his daughter's need to improve her fine motor skills, app developer Frank Jensen is leveraging the multi-touch capabilities of the iPad into a tool to improve fine motor skills in kids and adults.

BinaryLabs is turning the iPad into a tool for improving fine motor skills with the introduction of Dexteria, a new app for the iPad. The app features interactive multi-touch activities designed by licensed occupational therapists.

"There are thousands of apps for the iPad, but very few of them take full advantage of its unique user interface," said Jensen, CEO of BinaryLabs. "The iPad can detect several simultaneous touches. I asked, 'Other than gaming, which is a saturated market segment, how can I put that capability to good use?'"

The answer came to him immediately. "Like many kids, my kindergarten-aged daughter was having challenges with her fine motor skills," said Jensen. "The key to improvement was a consistent regime of hand and finger exercises. I wanted to be sure she was ready for kindergarten, and fine motor skills are often overlooked as an important factor in school-readiness. Dexteria helps kids get ready for school."
