threeinlight Using Physical Objects to Interface with the iPad

Over this past week my partners and I at DINO Interactive Studios have developed an iPad application that allows input from a specific grouping of ‘fingers’ from the bottom of three objects. When you place the object on the screen surface of the iPad, flowers and vines grow from underneath the object.

This corresponds to the application as it is a flower growing app called Akina HD, available for free in a human-touch enabled version in the Apple App Store currently. My process in creating this was to take the aesthetic of the app and bring these elements into the objects as if they were an extension of game. The art I made for Akina is derived partly from the art of an interactive book I’m currently working on and plan to release on the iPad soon.

    Just what can it be with regards to studying things through someone else’s view point that provides such a terrific perspective? This and some other posts on your weblog here surely give some things to think about. I essentially ended up here by way of Yahoo when I was initially doing a bit of researching for some of the course work that I should probably be working on. Totally enjoyed reading through your articles and I’ll be adding you to my RSS reader to keep track down the road. Cheers!
