zapDial 2.0 – Nominated for the EUROPRIX Multimedia Awards 2010

You know the situation? You just want to quickly call a number from your address book but your attention is dedicated to other activities. How to dial the number in a quick way?
With a search through a long list? With the help of speech recognition? Yes, if the recognition works and doesn‘t confront you with wrong interpretations, then this could be the solution for you. But if you don‘t feel happy on trying various pronounciations of names to make the speech recognition work, what would you do? Browsing again through lists of names, which is too long-winded, too detailed and too time consuming?
No – zapDial is the solution.

With zapDial you find quickly and in an easy way the telephone number of your favorite contact, without searching the lists. On the basis of mapped gestures, which you draw in your own individual style on the display, your contacts will be called by a simple movement on the touchscreen.
Timeconsuming searches and error-prone touches in lists will not bother you anymore.
A vibrating phone informs you when the app is ready, so you don‘t even have to look on the display. Just make a gesture on the display and your iPhone will connect you to the selected contact.

How does zapDial work?

Select a contact from your address book and choose an individual gesture, which will be mapped to the contact‘s telephone number. Keep in mind that a gesture consists of a single stroke.
Setup is finished and you are ready to start. Just start the application and draw the gesture on the touchscreen to call a contact. A switchable feature allows you to choose calling a contact or sending a text.

Basic features:
gesture recognition for quick dialing
record function for individual gestures
direct link to your address book contacts
switchable options for user interface feedback

What’s New in this Version:
search in address book, record audio hints for your contacts, user interface improvements, new layout

Self built audio compressor

This is a Universal Audio LA-2A clone, which PCB was designed by drip electronics for DIY purposes. It takes about 1 day to assemble all components, but which are sometimes really tricky to get. So it took about 1 week to get all parts until finishing “bugfixing”. I tried it now on vocals and acoustic guitars and it sounds GREAT. Can’t wait for the next mix…. but before I have to do some “clean-up” inside the case.

Locative Drama “Scratch”

During my internship at the Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts at the Middlesex university London I’m developing a locative drama, which enables the listener to interact with the story.

Situation: The user plugs in his earphones in his iPhone (the essential thing because on this runs the Scratch application) and moves trough open space. When the user enters a region of certain coordinates an audio scene will be triggered. So the user can walk through scenes, go back to hear a scene again or to hear a new scene at an already visited place (depends on the story). One big challenge is, to make the boundaries and transitions as smooth as possible to avoid “jumps” and make them not hearable. The other…. Learning Objective C and to get into the iPhone SDK.

Et voila! Here’s a sceenshot of the mainscreen. The app is running fine (testing, testing, testing) but needs some little refinement.
