lopetz — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 09:11:32 +0000

CALCOPAC is a «BEEP» more than a simple calculator. It’s a tribute to the legendary 8-Bit Videopac Game Computers released between 1978 and 1983. CALCOPAC provides a stylish retro calculator with 2 skins and 24 8-Bit sound effects.
Play your results as a little melody – An ironic statement to Kraftwerk’s «Pocket Calculator» and a perfect combination of Fun & Function. It is surely going to replace all my other calculator apps. BEEEEEP

Being Renzo Piano [iPad]

abitare.it

a graphical and interactive compilation of the known architect and designer Renzo Piano as framed from the lense of Abitare (the italian architecture magazine). the experience on the iPad is actually very elegant and diverse. it offers a number of different methods to interact with the content, multiple swipe variations, click and touch, zoom, and traditional scrolling. the imagery and content speaks for itself. This foray into the digital realm and specifically for iPad for a classical publication like Abitare is inspiring. expensive (£9 or $11) but well worth it.

facemakr.com

very deep featured avatar creation app based on thick illustrated vector graphics. the designers dadako used to run an online ‘facemakr’ avatar creation service where you would send a headshot and they would assemble a likeness based from their kit of parts. now they have constructed this all into an app so you can do one yourself. i have done a number for my family and its pretty darn good! this one looks kinda like me but has more hair. follow @facemakr for updates and news.

(Circle, Triangle, Square). zoom in/out, copy/paste, 197 palette colours, and instructional videos on how to best create imagery. reminds me of tangrams which i had when i was a kid. super cool it was produced by Osamu Sato, OSD the japanese electronic musician.
