The iPhone app, called Business Analyst Online, or BAO, links back to a wealth of geocoded demographic data stored in ESRI's geographic information system databases. Best of all, you can tap it for free.

"We think it’s really cool, because unlike any other app it will allow you to really check out a location, find out what it’s like and what kind of people live there," says Lead product manager James Killick.

Killick says ESRI is providing more than just rehashed Census data. "It’s updated demographics created by ESRI’s team of demographers, statisticians and economists who have been involved with building these kind of data sets for over 35 years," he says.

BAO was created with the needs of the real estate industry in mind, Killick says, but a search function will allow anyone to find locations that meet specific demographic criteria. [...]

Discover Earth's Moon with amazing 3D graphics and touch navigation. Moon Globe shows you how the Moon appears today, and lets you zoom in like a telescope with up to 500x magnification. Switch to globe mode, and you can spin above the surface, taking in the hidden far side, and look over the limb to see Earth in the distance. Surface features and landed spacecraft are labelled in an elegant 3D tag cloud. Adjust the time dynamically with on screen controls, and watch the sunlight move over the terrain. It even shows you where the Moon and Sun are in the sky at your location, with its dynamic sky compass.

Features:

• Smooth 3D touch navigation.
• Telescope mode and globe mode.
• Sharp high-resolution views.
• Dynamic time and illumination point adjustment.
• Realtime topographic shading.
• Over 1800 labelled terrain features.
• "Sky compass" shows Moon and Sun position in the sky; points toward actual north on devices with a built in magnetic compass (iPhone 3GS).
• Image rotate and reverse to match how the Moon appears through a telescope or binoculars.

Now available on the iTunes App Store!

Bionic Eye - iPhone 3GS Application

Bionic Eye is a new application specifically developed for the iPhone 3GS that enables you to visualize Points of Interest (POI) located in your nearby environment in the US, thanks to a unique Augmented Reality functionality using the iPhone camera.

POI databases include restaurants, WiFi hotspots, subway stations (New York Subway, Washington Metro, Chicago L Rapid Transit), etc. Over 100.000 POI are already included in this application. Elements located at a distance less than 1km (0,621miles) only will be displayed on the screen.

The Augmented Reality functionality is only available to iPhone 3GS users. Bionic Eye works fine with all other iPhone / iPod Touch models via Google Map system within the application.

- Vertical position: 360-degree view of all POI nearby your location, updated in real time as you walk in the streets.

- Horizontal position: List of all nearest POI. When a POI is selected, a blue arrow (compass) is displayed to show the direction and the distance to that POI.

- The application is fully compatible with Google Map. It is possible to locate the nearest POI from your position on Google Map within the application.

We are already working on a new update of Bionic Eye to reduce loading time. Indeed, the application includes a lot of POI covering all US cities, they are accessible without any network connection, so this may take a few seconds to load. Of course, the new update will be free for Bionic Eye users. Thank you for your comprehension.

iPhone RFID: object-based media

Hvis ting man ikke kan se var udstyret med rfid tags ville mange ting blive noget nemmere ... Når en gravemaskine graver tæt ved elektriske ledninger, vandrør eller andre gemte ting i jorden ville det være rart hvis de faktiske objekter i jorden selv kunne fortælle om deres eksistens ... Tænk hvis man kunne udstyre sin gummiged med en rfid sensor på skovlen så ville mange informationer dukke op som man ellers aldrig ser ...

Managing things you can't see you might like it to tell you what it is you don't see ... Digging in the grown near power lines, water pipes or sewers ... Drilling in the walls near electric cables ... It's would be great if you could just swipe you iPhone near the objects and it would give you all the informations needed ...

This is a prototype of an iPhone media player that uses physical objects to control media playback. It is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) that triggers various iPhone interactions when in the range of a wireless tag embedded inside a physical object.

This video prototype is basic and intended to open up for discussion and new exploration around the experience of media selection through physical objects. At the moment the interaction is a trigger, but what if the phone doesn’t just react as output but also as input to physical objects? How do we programme and manage our sets of media and applications in these objects?

Overall the demo points towards opportunities around the distribution of media through physical objects, it is an example of general ideas around an ‘internet of things’ or ‘spimes’ applied to the world of media. What opportunities would the distribution of RFID-embedded products open up in terms of media, gaming, services and marketing? What does this mean for the future of products?
