CALCOPAC

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.
