New free iPhone app: Immersive

Trapcode Immersive uses the magnetometer (digital compass) and the accelerometer to figure out how the device is held and then renders a corresponding view from a panorama. It is like a window to another world in your hands!

The app contains seven panoramas of different landscapes. One idea we have for future versions is to enable loading a panorama from the photo library on the device (if there is interest in such a feature). Other possible uses could be for previewing a hotel reservation, real estate or whenever an immersive view of an environment is needed.

Since the app needs a compass it works with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad (runs as an iPhone app).

Vortex.A - generative art for iPad / iPhone / iPod

Vortex.A - touch-interactive generative art. I am experimenting with fluid dynamics: how liquids and gases behave - a classically difficult problem in physics/maths. Most agree that fluid dynamics is described by the Navier-Stokes differential equations. There is no known all-case solution for the equations, but there are solutions for specific cases and approximative methods to find numerical solutions.

I'm experimenting with my own approach and it is making some pretty promising animations. This app visualizes the flow by emitting particles where you touch the screen (multi-touch works) and the fluid itself is also affected by touch. The lines are so called "pathlines" that trace the particles' paths over time.

I'm polishing the technology and hoping to bring it to VFX/motion graphics artists as a tool for fluid dynamics animations in the future.

The price is 99 cents and it's available in AppStore.

Trapcode ProLoop - new iPhone app

New type of audio loop app for iPhone and iPod Touch. Written by Jonatan Liljedahl.

Trapcode ProLoop is a powerful and flexible loop player for professional musicians as well as hobbyists. Use it as a live electronic instrument by itself or as an addition to your other gear, or just play around with it and explore the possibilities!

ProLoop comes bundled with many professional loops by Mokira (Andreas Tilliander), Håkan Lidbo, Kymatica and others. It also includes some demo sessions to get you started. But the real power comes by the fact that you can upload your own soundfiles to ProLoop through your web-browser!
