We can ease your tech aches and pains.
The Kreyos Meteor is a hands-free, two-way communication system that you wear on your wrist. On your belt. On your bike. Or even on a lanyard around your neck.
Because it is light and portable, it’s easy to wear while on the move – whether you’re on a long bike ride or a short-trip to the grocery store.
For the first time ever, you now will have hands-free control over the powerhouse mini-computer that sits in your pocket.
UPDATE (01-JULY-2013): Kreyos Meteor has the ability to answer phone calls DIRECTLY from your wrist without reaching for your phone in the pocket.
You can answer the call with a gesture or by simply pressing the answer button on the watch. We added this update as many backers are confused whether they can answer calls from their wrist.
Gesture control, fitness apps, much more!
UPDATE (28-JUNE-2013): Gestures controls could be configured in the free Kreyos App.
Wish you could send texts without typing? Or change your music without pressing a button?
Talking to your watch makes communication easy, but we also added motion control right into the Kreyos operating system.
Using a 3-axis gyroscope, controlling your Kreyos Meteor Smartwatch is as easy as moving your hand.
In the Meteor, four different wrist motions come preconfigured – and you can pick an action to correspond to specific activities.
In the future, we’ll be adding a variety of additional motions to the Kreyos platform, enabling you to expand the motions in your repertoire.
And developers also will have the freedom to build additional gestures into applications.
Because of its hands-free functionality, the Kreyos Meteor gives you more freedom to move around your world – without losing contact with your social, business and family networks.
I would do anything to get this..
Find out more here.

I posted on another thread that I like the notion that I can have safer access to my phone while walking through the big city. I don't have to worry about my phone getting stolen out of my hand. It'll be a fun experiment to see how close you need the watch to your mouth and ears to use it for voice though.

BallVenture for Android (sort-of like Bounce for Nokia)

I released my first game on Android (BallVenture) and would like to know people's opinion on it. Basically its a ball that you can control with your finger (fling it on screen) or trackball (if you have one). The goal is to reach a vortex in each level, and each level introduces new traps/challenges that prevent you from reaching it (harder every level).
Yeah it's sort-of like Bounce but from a top view and it has some very nice 2D graphics.
So would you play it? And what would you change in it?

First of all, this is a pretty neat game. However, I have only played it for five minutes and I have two pieces of constructive criticism. These are just based on what I feel personally, so please do not be offended by what I have to say:
1) The volume control: I feel that you should be able to control it with the hard volume keys (rocker for my nexus one) and that should adjust media volume, but it does not. You have to go into options and that's sort of a pain if you want to adjust volume in-game / on-the-fly.
2) The pause button: I was trying to pause the game to type this response and could not figure it out. Logically, to me, it makes more sense o use the menu key as a pause button as opposed to the back key.
3) Screen timeout: After X amount of minutes no change has been made, screen should turn off. Seems that the game forces it to stay on.
Again, these are just personal opinions I have formed in a few minutes of downloading the product. I will continue to post if I find things but if the full version costs, I don't feel it is one application I would pay for.
EDIT: Unfortunately, I died on the second level and realized I don't have the patience to play this game. The ball bouncing off the walls into spikes angers me in ways it should not... haha.

[GAME] PhoneBomber

Looking for more feedback, would love to get some here.
PhoneBomber is a massively multi-player, location-aware game. That means that when you play, you’re playing with everyone else – and you’re playing in the ‘real’ world. When you place a virtual bomb, you’re placing it in a virtual reality – one that only you and other players can see and interact with... but that reality is based on the real, physical world.
When a virtual bomb blows up, everyone in the virtual reality, within the blast radius, takes damage - but that game reality is overlaid with the real world. So if you light a stick of virtual Dynamite near you're friends house (and he plays PhoneBomber and was last seen around his house), he'll take damage. If you place a virtual Mark IV nuke anywhere around your town, then most people playing the game will take damage (as it has a radius of around 10 miles).
You can level up by placing bombs, having your bombs go off, and disarming other players bombs. The more people you injure or kill with your virtual bomb, the more experience you'll gain. You can also request missions, where you'll need to place a bomb at a specific location and have it go off.

Bug?
One thing I'd like to track down is new user signup and blank e-mails. I can see in the log that user creates are being submitted without e-mails... but the create user screen in the app forces a e-mail.
If anyone figured out how to make this happen, I'd love to know!
Thanks!

THANKS!!!!! I was contemplating going and doing some random responds to get past eight, just so I could post that graphic.. ironic, as the attempt to reduce spam would have caused spammy behavior
New version
Posted a new version this evening, that fixes on fc's on the map to take a contract out, or do a mission

[APP]Simple Marble Machine AR

This is a clock widget with a live background normally.
you can swipe to view around the machine.
When you put the tracker 1 in front of the cam, the machine will augment on it.
After you augmented the first machine, you can active machine 2 with the tracker 2.
When you put them in right place, they can form up to one complex marble machine.
Augmented sample image:

*scratches head*
I think I might not understand this one a little.
The background can be modified into a marble track similar to the old Hot Wheels ones, where the marble will run from the oneend of the original track to the other and then, if properly placed, onto the next piece if track. I'm downloading it to try out now. Will report back in a day or so how it works out.
I'm not sure I'm clear on what the Tracker 1 and Tracker 2 are and how to get them to change. Little help, Dev?
Also, after watching for about 8-10 cycles, one of the marbles eventually fell off the track ad got stuck in the middle...
Be careful... The permissions for this app are excessive. Why does it need SDCard access? The undetailed description at the top smells of malware...
I installed this app and wiresharked it... This app is calling home.
For the SD Permission that is a mistake for App2SD testing.
This does only a simple thing, augment the track on the picture or call them tracker.
Print out that two picture which call Tracker 1 and Tracker2.
Put Tracker1 in front of the camera the track augment on the picture.
After the first track active, you can active the second track with Tracker2.
When both track on screen, they can interact each other.
Not too many interaction, put the trackers in right place then they will connect.
I think marker base AR is too troublesome and not too good other then commercial.
So there lot of space to improve. And though the questions I know this app an epic fail which cant explain it's interaction.
May be there is a next version with improved asset and description in game.

[APP][2.3.2+] woowRescue

woowRescue is an app for mobile devices which is designed to be an Integrated Emergency System, in areas ranging from healthcare to police matters. For everyone! Sure!

What type of emergency does it detect?
The system can automatically detect accidents involving movement, in cars, motorbikes, buses, etc. This means it can also detect sports accidents. The system can launch the mechanisms needed for effectively monitoring the situation, as well as facilitating healthcare attention, speeding up the response times of the different Emergency Services.
It can also detect when people go missing or get lost, providing valid, sensitive information to police services, maximising the possibility of finding the lost person, or in a worst-case scenario, reconstructing the events leading to their disappearance.
How does it work?
The app is installed on any Smartphone (currently Android only), and does not need to be configured by the user to work. It can be active 24 hours a day, constantly monitoring for any possible emergency situations. Everything is designed to work independently and automatically without the active participation of the user.
How are the alerts produced?
The app can send alerts via text message, phone call and notifications in the style of messaging programmes.
It includes a very innovative element which allows notifications to be sent to nearby devices whose users have medical expertise, even if they are not known to the app user.
What happens if the user is unconscious after an accident?
The app functions normally. In fact, it was conceived and designed from the start to offer a system which can send out alerts in the most difficult moments, even when the user is unconscious.
In the most extreme cases, the app can speak by itself and communicate verbally with the person receiving the emergency call, giving them information about the accident. The verbal communication is produced by a voice synthesiser installed in the Smartphone, and can be in different languages (English, French, German, Spanish and Italian).
For more information on functions and features, download this PDF document.
Please download the APP.
I downloaded the application and am testing. I'm a bit surprised, it seems intuitive and very useful.
My phone is rooted, the application has encountered this feature, and installed itself as system application.
How have you developed that feature for rooted devices? Do you use any special library for this?

Greetings fellows
I've created an app that might just solve your everlasting battle with privacy, or something of that effect.
Are you afraid your phone or tablet might be stolen or is your little brother, annoying friend or perhaps untrusting girlfriend snooping around your phone behind your back? Do they even continue to say that they're innocent of this horrendous privacy infringement? Then download CrookCatcher and bust them on the spot! A photo and location will be sent to your email when intruders are caught trying to unlock your phone. Stick the awkward selfie up in their face, and I can almost guarantee that their nose will stop "growing" at once.
Features
• Take photo with the front facing camera on incorrect unlock attempt
• You select the number of failed unlock attempts before CrookCatcher takes action
• Find location of device
• Receive email notification with photo and location
• Uses the default Android Lock Screen
• No services running in the background = little to no impact on battery
• Browse photos with location on the device, with (what I think is) an intuitive interface.
The Concept
... is not entirely new, several apps doing somewhat the same already exists in Google Play. I, however, found these to either be build on a jerky design that was hard to comprehend and navigate, or I found them too expensive - and that is why I created CrookCatcher.
CrookCatcher is namely, designed to be simplistic and easy to figure out. A setup guide is build into the app, which lets you set the few things necessary up with ease and speed. And, best of all. CrookCatcher is free, and no, that doesn't mean ads instead. CrookCatcher is free to use. If you like the app, if the app has even helped you retrieve your stolen phone or tablet, and you want to show your appreciation, you can make a donation from within the app to help support a hungry nerd and keep development going.
Get it on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/...
Check out the accompanying website: http://jakobharteg.com/crookcatcher.html
Cheers, Jakob
