Multitouch Paint

Multitouch Paint ( I haven’t given it a proper name yet) is a painting application I have been working on over the last couple weeks. Basically I wanted to create an app that was more then simple solid lines you see with most other Flash painting programs. I wanted something that was more like paint […]

The future of 3D and Flash

Below are some videos from the new 3D apis codenamed ‘Molehill’ to be included in the next version of Flash. This was announced at the Adobe MAX conference yesterday. This is some pretty amazing stuff… full 3D maps and all done on the GP

UberSnake – my Flash snake game

Here’s what I’ve been doing this week… making a Flash version of the old game ‘Snake’ which I’m sure a lot of people spent plenty of time playing on the old Nokia phones. This game had a lot of firsts for me in relation to ActionScript. This is the first thing I’ve done completely from […]

MotionList – part 2

I’ve made some more progress on my MotionList class over the last couple of days. Some new features in the current demo below are:

MotionList – Windows Phone 7 Metro UI style lists

Here is small experiment I’ve done in AS3 called Motion List. Motion List is a class that creates a list or grid of items with similar animations to the upcoming Windows Phone 7 UI’s ‘Metro’ transitions. I love the new UI for WP7 and thought I’d try and recreate a little bit of it in […]

A couple cool videos…

Here are some cool videos I found during the week. The first one is a racing game which consists of a classic arcade racing unit, an RC car and a cardboard track. Players use the arcade box to drive the RC car around the cardboard track. Pretty cool! This second video is a nice demo […]

Actuating Widgets on Interactive Tabletops

This is probably one of the best concepts I’ve seen recently for interactive tabletops. Tangible controls/widgets that can be controlled by magnets to self switch and move across the table. There is also a very interesting approach for redirecting IR light around the magnets so the cameras can pick up the widgets’ presence. Check out […]

Microsoft Research

Although it might not seem like it Microsoft is really along way ahead of nearly all the other major tech companies. But no one really gets to see their cool stuff because it takes place in their research centres and doesn’t always make it into consumer products. Below is a collection of videos from Microsoft […]

Magnetic Words Multitouch App

Here is a small app I created in Flash in less than 10 minutes (most of that time was getting words!). Inspired by those fridge magnets which are a bunch of words that can be mixed and matched to make obscure and hilarious sentences. Excuse the dodgey touch response at the start… my screen still […]

Invisible Mouse

Here is a cool video that was posted over at the NUI Group forums. This guy has used infra-red lasers and a webcam along with CCV to track the users hand position and movement, which is then translated into cursor movements and clicks. Pretty cool idea.
