An iPhone application I recently worked on for a client has been released. It is called “Indicator Maniacs” and it has all the sauce needed to wet your otaku whistle. It’s basically a Star Trek “tricorder” that you run on your phone and it shows various meters and numbers. There are six indicators to choose from and the user can select three of them at a time, set their layout, and tint them to a variety of colors. I did all of the engineering.
The information website in Japanese is here.
You can check it out in English or Japanese on the iTunes store.
The indicator types are:
- Analogue clock – crazy elliptical clock
- Digital clock – 3 more ways to represent seconds than are necessary
- Memory – see your available disk space, memory, and what processes are running
- Microphone – live feed of the mic and a history of its activity
- Motion – reads the accelerometers and shows phone orientation and motion activity
- Warp switch – hold it down for three seconds for a mind blowing warp effect!
In the screen shot above you can see the digital clock, memory and microphone indicators.
If you are into really geeky stuff like this or use your iPhone in a dock as a clock be sure to give it a look.
