TouchMountain, a virtual reality app powered by Windows Phone 8

André Meyer, a student, talks about and demonstrates TouchMountain. This innovative application makes awesome use of virtual reality to help users identify the mountain peaks around them, and then get additional information on the peaks such as facts, weather, and even view nearby webcams. Created as part of a 12 week university project, André explains that the app benefited from input from Nokia and Microsoft as well as Nokia’s community of developers and users. Talking about virtual reality André says “the possibilities are endless, that the great thing about it.”

Health Pack Games: Benefitting from the switch to Nokia Ad Exchange

Health Pack Games creates physics based games and has discovered the power of NAX. Michael Kloubkov, the owner of Health Pack Games, says that since they switched to NAX, advertising revenue has jumped from a few cents a day up to 800 dollars a day. 'It's really incredible,' says Michael, who also notes that it took them less than a day to switch to NAX. A key to their success has been the way Health Pack Games implement ads in their apps. 'It's all about placement and when you show the ads that really grabs users' attention,' says Michael. He is also very impressed with the in-house campaigns feature — which enables you to cross-promote your apps and websites.

Highlights

Nuevas oportunidades de la Series 40

La introducción de la interfaz de usuario "Touch and Type" en los terminales "Series 40 6ª edición Feature Pack 1" ofrece móviles táctiles a un mayor número de usuarios. Para los desarrolladores Java esta innovadora interfaz de usuario ofrece nuevas oportunidades de usabilidad y de interacción para sus aplicaciones. La interfaz Touch and Type está diseñada para ser controlada con una sola mano y combina lo mejor de la interacción táctil para navegar por el Interfaz de Usuario con lo mejor de la interacción mediante teclado físico - para introducción y edición de texto.

Las aplicaciones existentes de Java diseñadas para pantallas QVGA funcionarán en los dispositivos "Series 40 6ª edición, Feature Pack 1". Una modificación de controles será probablemente el único cambio necesario para poder utilizar el terminal cómodamente con el dedo pulgar. No obstante, ponemos a tu disposición dos interfaces de programación de aplicaciones (API) que te ayudarán a aprovechar al máximo la nueva interfaz de usuario; el Gesture API para detectar pulsaciones, presiones continuadas, presiones continuadas repetidas, arrastrar y soltar y movimientos rápidos, y el FrameAnimator API para medir el movimiento de desplazamientos cinéticos y animaciones lineares.
