ColdCase 1866

A locative narrative app for iPhone. Cold Case 1866 uses GPS technologies to provide an interactive audio drama to users as they explore physical locations in town of Totnes, Devon, UK. I designed the user interface and programmed the app natively using Objective-C, in collaboration with project author Emma Whittaker. I will be working with Emma on a further project, Locating the Archive in 2012.

The app is available on the iTunes App Store

Kuppa

What the Adobe Fireworks team ought to be building. Kuppa is a concept for a web design application that combines layout tools with standards compliant coding. Rather than auto-generate code, it gives the designer the ability to mark-up visual elements with HTML5, convert static elements to a fluid behaviour, and apply CSS3 styles using a graphic user interface, amongst other things. If you are a developer looking for an ambitious project, you can contact me to find out more.

Work in progress.

iPad Publishing Research

Ongoing explorations into app book/magazine interaction design, looking in particular at the use of the iPad’s built in compass, accelerometer and gyroscope to determine graphic narrative trajectories. I spoke on this subject at the 2nd Message research group symposium titled ‘Against Orthodoxy: Why Publish?’ on 3rd April 2012 and will continue to publish my findings as they develop.
