Education With iOS: Apps to Reinvent Your Science Classroom - Published on 01/26/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vito Technology, an awarded developer of top education iOS apps is proud to announce that its bestsellers Star Walk, its stargazing guide, Solar Walk, 3D Solar System model, and Geo Walk, a new kind of encyclopedia, have been successfully used during classes by educators around the world. Vito Technology is delighted to share first hand testimonials from happy educators who have implemented their technology to life. The developers will visit iWorld Macworld to showcase updated apps.
Alexandria, Virginia - Vito Technology, an awarded developer of top education iOS apps is proud to announce that its bestsellers Star Walk (stargazing guide), Solar Walk (3D Solar System model) and Geo Walk (new kind of encyclopedia) have been successfully used during classes by educators around the world. Vito Technology is delighted to share first hand testimonials from happy educators who have implemented their technology to life.
Educators claim that using Solar Walk has proved to change classroom atmosphere to engage students and make complicated material more available:
"I used this app recently when teaching Year 9 BTEC students about the composition of the Solar System and the some what unbelievable sizes of planets and our galaxy. Students were engaged from the start as I had chosen to project the animation of the solar system rotating slowly on the board as the pupils arrived. A darkened room and the music playing set the scene for the lesson and I was pleased and amazed by the engagement of the students throughout the lessons as this app made the lesson more accessible to all students. Students where required to research all of the different planets in the solar system and produce a scale drawing of the solar system by the end of the lesson." by Smartlearning Teacher of Science at Priority Community School Weston Super Mare.
"Solar Walk gives your students a realistic look at the Solar System. The time machine feature is excellent and will help students visualize the changes in the Solar System over time. Let your students take a virtual field trip to the planet of their choice to explore and report back to the class about. Students can become astronauts and take a virtual "rocket" ride, flying to the planet of choice, getting an in-depth look at the planet, and exploring each of the planets moons." by iPad Curriculum.
"Even though my students watched Solar Walk on a small screen, they felt like they experienced the solar system as they had read in Lucy and Stephen Hawking's book "George's Secret Key to the Universe" (yep, he wrote a kids novel). In that book a powerful computer can open a portal to show young George the planets. That is precisely what my classroom of children will pretend if we can manipulate Solar Walk on our large interactive screen!"
Greg Kroening, Burroughs Community School
Star Walk in Education:
"Students at Hawaii Preparatory Academy are among the many who are working with Star Walk. Seeing and learning about the night sky and the star systems in a highly interactive way creates immediate learning to many in a way that has never been possible. Through the time machine and search function, students can discover constellations in a way that was never possible before. Interactive education is a great way for students to learn, and this app delivers a truly interactive star system. Many educators are now introducing apps such as Star Walk into the classroom to enhance the education experience, and to keep students engaged and interested." Dave V, TopEducationalApps.
The developers will visit iWorld Macworld to showcase updated apps.

Star Walk - 5 Stars Astronomy Guide 5.6 is $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Education category. Star Walk for iPad - Interactive Astronomy Guide 5.5 is $4.99. Solar Walk and Geo Walk are $2.99.

tappr.tv v5 adds Symmetry and Audio Input for gorgeous music visuals - Published on 01/26/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
At Macworld/iWorld 2012, aspiring iArtist deeje is pleased to announce version 5 of tappr.tv, featuring Symmetry Modes and Audio Input, for even more stunning music visuals. Unlike traditional algorithmic music visualizers, tappr.tv lets users tap, swipe, tilt, and buzz to dynamically create kinetic, multi-layered visual "dances" to their favorite songs, and publish those dances for other fans to watch and enjoy. Find tappr.tv in the Mobile App Showcase on the Expo floor.
San Francisco, California - At Macworld/iWorld 2012, aspiring iArtist deeje is pleased to announce version 5 of tappr.tv, featuring Symmetry Modes and Audio Input, for even more stunning music visuals. Unlike traditional algorithmic music visualizers, tappr.tv lets users tap, swipe, tilt, and buzz to dynamically create kinetic, multi-layered visual "dances" to their favorite songs, and publish those dances for other fans to watch and enjoy.
The heart of tappr.tv is the "wand", which responds to the user's physical and audible input with bursts of particles and light. There are hundreds of wands available, each personally curated by deeje for their unique and beautiful kinetic qualities.
In the Studio section of the app, users can record their wand motions into multiple tracks to create a visual "dance" to a favorite song. When done, users can publish their dances to tappr.tv. In the Theater section, fans of that music will be notified so they can download, watch, rate, and share those visuals.
New in version 5 is Symmetry Mode, which the user can set on a track-by-track basis. Symmetry replicates the selected wand output around the screen based on the user's input; modes include Vertical, Horizontal, and 2x thru 7x.
Also new in version 5 is Audio Input, which allows users to hum, buzz, and sing to generate wand input. Not only does Audio Input map pitch to position on the screen, it also maps volume to scale, for yet another dimension of visualization. Combining Symmetry modes with Audio Input creates truly gorgeous visual layers to a user's dances.
tappr.tv is a free universal app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Premium features and themed wand packs are available for in-app purchase. Video Out is also available, via compatible cables or AirPlay on supported devices.
deeje will be showing tappr.tv in the Mobile App Showcase on the Expo floor from Thursday, Jan 26th thru Saturday, Jan 28th.

Fragmented HD 1.0 for iPad - The Easiest Way To Share Your Photos - Published on 01/26/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Velvet Rock Apps today introduces Fragmented HD 1.0 for iPad, their mosaic photo frame that can be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. The frame holds 15 photographs from the users photo library and includes a variety of options allowing the user to choose how they would like their frame to look. Once the user is happy with their frame not only can they share it with popular social sites but can also save the finished frame to their photo album or send it to a friend via email.
Reading, United Kingdom - Velvet Rock Apps today is pleased to introduce Fragmented HD 1.0 for iPad, their mosaic photo frame that can be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. The frame holds 15 photographs from the users photo library and includes a variety of options allowing the user to choose how they would like their frame to look. Once completed the mosaic frame can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or via email.
The frame is made up of 15 separate areas, by double tapping on an area the users photo library appears allowing the user to add an image. The image can then be enlarged if necessary by using the pinch zoom gesture and dragged around until the user is happy with the look. Double tapping the top of the frame brings up the 'Options Menu' allowing the user to change the frame colour, the background colour, add a plaque, create a blank frame, convert photos to black and white, save the frame to their photo album, show a tutorial, email a finished frame or share a frame on Facebook, Twitter or Flickr.
"They say a picture is worth a 1000 words... we say a selection tells an entire story" is the strapline for Fragmented HD and once the frame is full of photos the quote is perfectly apt. There are many photography apps available for iOS devices, but it is the concept and execution that makes Fragmented HD a standout. Fragmented HD makes it incredibly easy to create your own frame and share with Facebook, Twitter or Flickr. The ease of use and attention to detail is clear to see and the company (Velvet Rock Apps) have even gone as far as creating a group on Flickr so users can post their favourite frames for all to see.
Fragmented HD 1.0 is a very personal affair, the fact that there are a variety of options and the user chooses the images from his/her photo library, no two frames will ever be the same, Fragmented HD allows infinite possibilities.
Feature Highlights:
* 15 photos in a single frame
* Convert photos to black and white at the touch of a button
* A variety of frame colours to choose from
* Infinite possibilities with users photos
* Share frame instantly via email, Facebook, Twitter or Flickr
