Use Your Touchscreen in the Cold with Modified Gloves

Life Hacker's Kevin Purdy says:

"It's getting cold outside in many regions, and gloves are becoming the norm. If you want to control your touchscreen phone without exposing your hands, or paying for specialty gloves, Instructables suggests grabbing a needle, and some conductive thread.

"Conductive thread no, we'd never heard of it, either. Instructables user Grathio points us to this explanation at Fashioning Technology, which also suggests where to grab some of it. You won't need to be skilled at sewing to pull off this glove modification, but you will need to take the time to test out what works with your screen. Grathio suggests leaving a wider, messier spread of thread on the inside of the glove to facilitate contact with your finger, but limiting the thread exposed on the outside to a tightly wound circle, about a quarter inch in diameter.

"If you are good with a needle, you'll likely be able to make the end result look a little neater. And if you're really good and want to offer notes to anyone else looking to tackle this project, drop the advice (or link) in the comments."

Publishers Say Apple Tablet Will 'Come Out Top' in eBook Wars

9 to 5 Mac's Jonny Evans reports:

"Evidence that the book trade is taking renewed interest in eBook publishing has emerged, with professionals from within the sector agreeing Apple to be the most likely company to lead the new publishing charge.

"Bookseller.com has published findings from a recent survey conducted among 1,000 people from within the book trade. 50% of the survey responses came from publishers with the remainder coming from booksellers, librarians, agents and authors."

iFotoGuide Launches Interactive Photography Guides for the iPhone

PR: iFotoGuide has released the first and only iPhone app & digital guide to on-location nature photography. It is available through the Apple App Store.

"iFotoGuide: Arches" is the first in a series of digital guides for the iPhone providing nature photographers with a comprehensive resource for planning every aspect of a photography trip. Use "iFotoGuide: Arches" to locate the nearest airport, find lodging and a rental car, and determine what weather to expect during your visit. Users of "iFotoGuide: Arches" can learn about park entrance fees, permits, flora and fauna, safety considerations and best times to visit for fall colors or wildflower blooms.

"iFotoGuide: Arches" goes beyond the ordinary photo guidebook by providing three innovative ways for iPhone users to find a dynamic location for photography. An interactive park map allows users to zoom, pan and select photography locations by name. Images in the photo gallery serve to inspire and are also interactive - one touch provides detailed instructions for getting to and photographing each location. "iFotoGuide: Arches" even allows users to search for locations to photograph at sunrise, sunset or in midday light.

Unlike guidebooks and newsletters which may be several years out of date, "iFotoGuide: Arches" is easily updated to ensure accurate and fresh content. "iFotoGuide: Arches" sells for $4.99 in the Apple App Store. Updates will include additional locations within Arches National Park and will be available at no cost to "iFotoGuide: Arches" users.

Created by photographers for photographers "iFotoGuide: Arches" is designed to provide users with all the tools necessary for a successful and productive photo trip. The developers of "iFotoGuide: Arches" are expanding park coverage, with Canyonlands and Yosemite National Parks available on iTunes in the first quarter of 2010.

"iFotoGuide" was founded in 2009 by photographers Dan Baumbach and Bret Edge to provide the only digital photo guides available on the Apple iPhone.

Compass/GPS/Camera/Inclinometer App Debuts for iPhone

PR: Hunter Research and Technology today announces the immediate worldwide availability of Theodolite 1.0 on the iTunes App Store. This multifunction augmented reality app for the iPhone serves as a compass, GPS, map, zoom camera, and two-axis inclinometer.

Theodolite
Theodolite 1.0 on the iPhone.

Based on the concept of a centuries-old astronomical instrument, Theodolite overlays real-time information about position, altitude, bearing, and horizontal/vertical inclination on the iPhone's live camera image, turning the iPhone into a sophisticated location-aware viewfinder. Uses are endless, from land surveying to basic navigation, and the app is great for hiking, boating, sightseeing, photography, and sports.

Theodolite lets users take camera images directly from the app, with 2X and 4X digital zoom options. Geographical data can be stamped on the saved image for later reference. Current position can be viewed on the built-in map, with standard, satellite, and hybrid modes. On an iPhone 3GS, bearing is updated live on the map with both fixed view and world rotation.

Theodolite 1.0 runs on any generation iPhone with OS 3.1 or later and is available for 99¢ on the iTunes App Store. GPS functionality requires an iPhone 3G or 3GS (first generation iPhones can triangulate position using cell towers and WiFi hotspots in lieu of GPS). Compass functionality requires an iPhone 3GS. More information, including screenshots, is available on the Hunter Research and Technology website. Media professionals interested in reviewing Theodolite can request a promotional code to download the app from iTunes at no cost.

TrueHDR: High Dynamic Range Comes to iPhone Photography

PR: Pictional LLC has released TrueHDR 1.0.1 - an iPhone photography app for creating high dynamic range (HDR) images. TrueHDR is the first app for the iPhone that does HDR in the true sense, in that it combines two photos taken at different exposures and presents a higher dynamic range than a single photo can capture.

TrueHDR creates high dynamic range photos
TrueHDR creates high dynamic range photos.

TrueHDR is designed to address the issue that cameras can only capture limited dynamic range in a single photo. In other words, when people take photos of a scene that has a large range from bright to dark, they often have to choose between the bright areas and the dark areas - if a picture is appropriately exposed for the bright areas (e.g., a sunny sky with clouds), then the dark areas (e.g., a person standing in the shade under a tree) often become gray or black blobs with no details. Vice versa, if a picture is correctly exposed for the dark areas, the bright areas get washed out and look like white haze.

TrueHDR allows users to take two photos on an iPhone 3GS with the in-app autofocus camera, tapping on a bright area to adjust exposure for the first image and tapping on a dark area to adjust exposure for the second image. TrueHDR then uses sophisticated computational techniques to automatically align, merge, and optimize the resulting image for display. It also allows users to select a pair of saved images, taken with the iPhone 3GS or another camera with variable exposure settings, and merge them into one HDR image.

The output is a photo with vivid colors and details in both the bright and the dark areas. It is often much closer to what users' eyes originally saw. In the current release of TrueHDR, output resolution (max 960x960) is ideal for posting to Facebook, Flickr, blogs, etc. Higher resolution is a priority for the company and Pictional is working to increase the output resolution for future releases.

Features:

  • In-app camera - streamlines the process by allowing users to capture starting images at different exposures with the iPhone 3GS autofocus camera without ever leaving the app (NOTE: only applies for iPhone 3GS).
  • Photo albums integration - users can select saved images, taken with the iPhone 3GS or another camera with variable exposures, as starting images for creating an HDR image.
  • No tripod necessary - as long as users make an effort to keep the camera pointing in the same direction, it's OK to have some hand movement between shots. The app will align the images and match up the details.
  • Sophisticated algorithms - TrueHDR uses state of the art techniques behind the scenes, resulting in the final HDR image.
  • Inspect results - users can pinch, zoom and pan around in portrait or landscape to check out the resulting HDR photo.
  • Share results - the results screen lets users directly compose and send emails with result photos.
  • Detailed instructions page with videos - accessible within the app.

System Requirements: Camera functionality requires minimum iPhone OS 3.1 and iPhone 3GS. Merging functionality with saved images may be used on iPhone or iPod touch.

TrueHDR is available now for purchase at a price of $1.99, distributed exclusively through the App Store in the Photography category.

Near Real Time Traffic and Weather Data from Traffic Info Map USA 1.2

PR: Announcing that c0deart LLC, the developers of Traffic Info Map USA, has released the latest updated version of the application. The app is a portable traffic and weather report with near real time data for any zip code in the country. This helps users to avoid road closures, accidents, detours and other traffic related snafus on their travel route. With this newest version, the app does even more.

Traffic Info Map USA was designed to quickly deliver text-based traffic information. The app uses Yahoo! Traffic RSS feed API to retrieve traffic data for most metropolitan areas in the United States.

While most cities get near real-time coverage, others are less frequently updated, depending on their location. C0deart has resolved this by supplying a convenient zip code checker on their website that details what coverage is available for the zip code a traveler is going to. Coverage is then known before hitting the road.

Regardless of traffic coverage, Traffic Info Map USA delivers real time reporting of a user's speed, direction, altitude and coordinates.

In fact, Traffic Info Map USA has a list of great useful features beyond simple traffic and weather reporting:

  • Highly customizable (more than 6 types of preference)
  • You can access to any traffic and weather report at the ZIP code level for the US Only
  • A ZIP Finder is implemented for any city name that you want access beside your current position
  • You can access at Traffic and Weather report in the same area for a better analysis of your current conditions
  • The map toolbar allows you to handle any map navigation faster than ever
  • The landscape format of the map screen is optimized to visualize more information
  • You can choose your starting mode screen (List or Map) in the Options menu
  • Even if your traffic and weather data are not available at your current time and preferences, you can still use the app for your current position real time data (Altitude, Speed, Direction, Coordinates)
  • XML Sync with Yahoo Traffic
  • XML Sync with Yahoo Weather
  • Embedded map (Mapkit Framework)
  • Location awareness capability of OS 3.0 (Core Location Framework)
  • iPhone/iPod OS 3.0 with an Internet connection. Works fine even at Edge level

Traffic Info Map USA uses an easy color coded system for instant information relay.

Traffic Info Map USA is a near real-time portable traffic and weather report you carry with you everywhere you go. With Traffic Info Map USA on your iPhone or iPod touch, you can know what others don't and avoid that traffic tie-up, know the weather at your destination and receive real time data about your speed, direction, altitude and coordinates.

Device Requirements: iPhone or iPod touch 3.0 or later

Traffic Info Map USA 1.2 is 99¢ and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Navigation category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

RedEye Universal Remote Control System for iPhone and iPod touch

RedEye Universal Remote Control SystemPR: ThinkFlood announced availability of the RedEye personal remote control for iPhone and iPod touch. RedEye is the only complete universal remote control system for the iPhone and iPod touch that allows users to control virtually any home entertainment device from any room in the home.

The RedEye system is easy to use, and set up is simple. Customers download the free RedEye app from the iTunes App Store, and place the RedEye base station in the same room as the equipment it will control. The iPhone or iPod touch communicates with the RedEye base station through the customer's wireless network to control TVs, DVRs, stereos, gaming equipment and more.

Customers can download codes from RedEye's global code database, which is updated regularly. RedEye also has a learning function, which allows users to program commands using an existing device remote.

"We wanted to create something more than just another remote control," said Matt Eagar, president and cofounder of ThinkFlood. "Internet connectivity and future software updates give us a lot of room to think big."

RedEye Universal Remote Control SystemWhy choose RedEye instead of a traditional universal remote or home automation system?

  • For only $188, RedEye offers benefits that were previously available only in full home automation systems and high-end universal remotes. Systems that offer similar levels of control require professional installation, technical know-how, or an entire day of frustration. The RedEye base station also doubles as a charging dock.
  • Instead of having one remote for every device - or even an oversized universal remote with too many buttons - RedEye customers only need to handle an iPhone or iPod touch.
  • RedEye supports multiple rooms, controllers, and users simultaneously. It controls a virtually unlimited number of devices and can store a virtually unlimited number of commands, far exceeding competitive product offerings.
  • RedEye offers activity-based control, meaning users can program RedEye to execute a series of commands with only one touch. Additionally, only the buttons appropriate to the activity appear on the screen.
  • RedEye users can customize the way they control their equipment with touchscreen buttons, Apple's Multi-Touch gestures, and accelerometer controls. For example swiping two fingers down the screen can reduce volume and flicking the iPhone forward can change the channel (watch accelerometer gestures demo).

RedEye is available through the ThinkFlood website, which also lists participating dealers and retail locations.
