Accenture Innovation Awards has nominated the first political app
Innovation? Absolutely!!
In commission for the dutch left wing party "SP" Guppies in the Dark developed a political soundboard. Along with a handful of beats and samples SPinParty allows you to play around on a board interface with a library of yells and extracts from phrases recently uttered by Dutch politicians, plucked from their radio and tv appearances. You can use them to make up your own mix, and then record and share your 'poli-clips'.

from iphone to web browser, we just turned your iphone into a Wii
With this technology we parse continually one or more values to a server, the web site receives these values and reacts in real time. We just turned your iPhone into a Wii! Of course it is also possible to work with more iPhones at the same time. All kind of different games with real physical input, moving your iPhone, are possible now.
Our application RadioBones was a smashing hit for some weeks in the USA. We have added some real cool features for our fans.
In the update of RadioBones you'll find some new features. The sound input of the mic is now working too but more important is the possibility of changing the head of the skeleton with the use of your own camera or photo library.

Elephantcandy, our audio software development branche, did all the algorithms and optimization for iPhone. The result is a lightning fast pitch detection which is unparalleled by any other tuner on the AppStore!

Tap sensitivity
wouldn't it be nice if the touch screen was sensitive. A difference between a gentle tap and a hard tap.
Traditionally, most touchscreen devices do not have the capacity to sense the force of the user’s touch. They can sense where the user touched the screen, but not how hard. Without this information, applications that run on such devices have a limited way of handling user touch interaction. It just doesn’t “feel right” that a gentle tap has the exact same effect as a hard tap...
Well we solved this! Now touch screens as the iPhone and iPad will be even more intuitive.
dutch elections coming up. multi media is the buzz. the socialist left wing party sp publish an app with sound bites during the political campaign
In commission for the dutch left wing party "SP" Guppies in the Dark developed a political soundboard. Free Download.
Along with a handful of beats and samples SPinParty allows you to play around on a board interface with a library of yells and extracts from phrases recently uttered by Dutch politicians, plucked from their radio and tv appearances. You can use them to make up your own mix, and then record and share your 'poli-clips'.
The app was made in collaboration with Elephantcandy they did all the sound engineering, Thonik designed the graphics and Het Hoorspel took care of the audio content.
The first visual radio! Now it is fun to look at your favorite radio station.
RadioBones looks a bit stiff at first sight, but wait, there is more! Turn on the radio, pump up the volume and see the incredible moves of RadioBones. He dances to the beat and he knows what he is doing. Who said that dead men can’t jump?
RadioBones knows all the moves between ballroom dance and pogo.
RadioBones is a highly sophisticated piece of software but completely useless. (Except for those who have nothing else to do but staring at their radio) It does take full advantage of the iPhone and iPod Touch. The accelerometer, multi touch and high-res screen.
With this app you always have the up to date portfolios at hand of the Dutch member photographers. Even without an internet connection, where ever, when ever you want. PhotoQ provides different possibilities to search for images or photograhers. For 50 euros a year photographers can become member of PhotoQ and benefit of 50.000 visitors a month! Visit PhotoQ to become a member.
