SYSMIGO releases gps4cam pro 7.3 - Geotagging for iOS - Published on 12/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SYSMIGO today announces gps4cam pro 7.3, an update to their popular geotagging app for iOS, Mac and Windows. Never waste your time trying to find out where you took a specific picture. gps4cam pro offers an effective and easy-to-use solution to bring geotagging to every camera. The app works with all camera brands and does not require network or data, which is perfect when travelling abroad. Now optimized for iOS 7, version 7.3 introduces new cloud storage capabilities and minor bug fixes.

Paris, France - SYSMIGO announced today the availability of the new version of its world famous app for iOS, Mac (now available directly on the Mac App store) and Windows. gps4cam pro offers its users an effective and easy-to-use solution to bring geotagging to every camera. Unlike other geotagging apps, there is no need to manually synchronize the iPhone's time with the camera's time. The app works with all camera brands and does not require network or data, which is perfect when travelling abroad. gps4cam pro is a very good alternative to expensive GPS modules that basically work with a single camera brand and drain the camera's battery. As of today, gps4cam and gps4cam pro have 100,000+ users worldwide.

gps4cam pro 7.3 has been optimized for iOS 7. The main new feature is related to the new cloud storage capability. From now on, all gps4cam pro users can link their app with their gps4cam cloud account so all trips can be stored on a secure cloud. No more worries about losing data when losing the phone or when getting a new one. All a user needs to do is to log into his gps4cam cloud account so the app can retrieve all his trips. This cloud capability also lets users generate only one QRcode to photograph, no matter how long the trip was or the number of pictures a user has taken.

gps4cam 7.3 brings a brand new feature that has been frequently requested by users which is the ability to geofence. Now, a gps4cam user can decide to generate a GPS fix at a specific distance from the previous GPS fix instead of a time interval. Also, gps4cam desktop now fully supports XMP sidecar files.

About the new cloud capabilities, Michael Diguet (the creator of gps4cam and gps4cam pro) said: "This new feature is awesome, I recently lost my phone during a vacation in Spain and I was able to retrieve all my trips and also to continue recording new trips during the rest of the days before I got a new phone simply by borrowing my friend's phone and accessing my data securely stored on the cloud. I was really lucky because I was testing the new release before officially publishing it in the App Store".

Many enhancements and gps4cam pro users' suggestions have been integrated in this new release. Michael said: "We could release this new version of gps4cam pro thanks to continuous interaction with our users. We have an amazing customer service that maintains a good relationship with the users. Every gps4cam or gps4cam pro user is free to contact us for any issue but also for any comment on the current features and any suggestion regarding the features he would like to see in the future releases. We will keep integrating our users' suggestions in order to further improve the gps4cam experience".

More and more photographers decide to geotag their pictures. They want to remember all the locations they visited during their trips and stop wasting time trying to find out where they took their pictures. They may also want to share their geotagged pictures on websites such as Flickr, Picasa, Panoramio, Facebook and Google Plus which can recognize the geotagged pictures and directly show them in a map. Photo management software such as iPhoto, Aperture and Lightroom also automatically recognize geotagged photos.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 11.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
gps4cam pro 7.3 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Theodolite iOS App Transforms the Teaching of Science - Published on 12/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Smartphones are transforming the teaching of science, and Hunter Research and Technology's Theodolite app is at the head of the class. An article in EOS, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, highlights ways that Theodolite makes sophisticated scientific tools accessible for students and teachers. Theodolite is a multi-function viewfinder that combines a compass, two-axis inclinometer, rangefinder, GPS, map, nav calculator, tracker, & geo-tag photo/movie camera into one indispensable app.

Williamsburg, Virginia - Smartphones are changing the teaching of science, and Hunter Research and Technology's Theodolite app is at the head of the class.

An article in EOS, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, highlights the ways smartphones make sophisticated scientific tools accessible for students. The article, "Smartphones: Powerful Tools for Geoscience Education" by Zackary I. Johnson and David W. Johnston, says modern smartphones' sensors are "transforming how science is taught."

For geophysicists, Theodolite enables this new age of education by helping students in field classes " ...learn principles of geological mapping, including how to measure the strike and dip of rock and sediment planes (foliations), how to build geological profiles, and how to calculate distances between physical features captured in the video frame."

Teachers embrace Theodolite, creating classroom exercises "in which students use the app to overlay surface geology on contour maps or estimate the abundance of objects (e.g., boulders) or organisms (e.g. flowering plants) using measurements generated by the app."

New uses for Hunter Research and Technology's unparalleled navigation app continue to emerge. Theodolite is great for outdoor sports, hiking, boating, hunting, golf, sightseeing, photography, and navigation. The app is used in the field every day by surveyors, geologists, architects, engineers, military personnel, competitive sportsmen, and search and rescue workers. And in October, Apple featured Theodolite being used at the Great Wall of China during a special event.

Theodolite is a multi-function augmented reality app that combines a compass, GPS, map, photo/movie camera, rangefinder, and two-axis inclinometer into one indispensable app. Theodolite overlays real time information about position, altitude, bearing, range, and inclination on the iPhone's live camera image, like an electronic viewfinder. Find out why Apple included Theodolite among the most amazing apps available. Where will you take it? What's your next adventure?

Pricing and Availability:
Hunter Research and Technology is excited to offer its flagship augmented reality navigation app for 50% off ($3.99 USD) to celebrate the app's four-year anniversary. Theodolite is the perfect holiday gift or purchase for students, teachers, outdoor enthusiasts, professionals, and high-tech gadget lovers. Theodolite (iPhone, iPod touch) and Theodolite HD (iPad, iPad mini) are available from the iTunes App Store.

Learning and Animating on the iPad with iPad Animation and iStopMotion - Published on 12/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Integrate iMovie, GarageBand and djay into your iStopMotion for iPad animation workflow with Craig Lauridsen's new media-packed iBook, now available on the iBookstore. Featuring Boinx Software's iStopMotion for iPad, "iPad Animation" teaches hopeful animators how to weave together story, pictures and sound to create amazing stop motion animations right from the iPad. Readers will learn how to use iMovie, GarageBand and djay in conjunction with iStopMotion for iPad.

Puchheim, Germany - Craig Lauridsen's eBook "iPad Animation" is more than a "how to" book; it's the most comprehensive guide to making stop motion movies on the iPad available. Featuring Boinx Software's iStopMotion for iPad, "iPad Animation" teaches hopeful animators how to weave together story, pictures and sound to create amazing stop motion animations right from the iPad. Readers will learn how to use iMovie, GarageBand and djay in conjunction with iStopMotion for iPad. "iPad Animation" is available now through Apple's iBookstore.

Written by Craig Lauridsen, a teacher at Newtown Movie School in New Zealand, "iPad Animation" was also designed to serve as a resource for schools and teachers looking to integrate the iPad into the curriculum worldwide. "We've had teachers tell us that their board has purchased a suite of iPads, and now they have to prove to the parents that they are a benefit to the learning, and not just a browsing device," Craig says. "'iPad Animation' 100% meets that opportunity to turn the iPad into a creativity station. We want to get a copy of this book into every school - and the iStopMotion app as well of course."

The iBook features chapters as easy-to-read "mind maps" that illustrate the multiple facets of stop motion animation: pictures, processes, editing and sound. Within each chapter, Lauridsen explores how each featured app's workflow process fits with the others'. "iPad Animation" explains tips and tricks for using iStopMotion for iPad, including how to achieve special effects through simple camera angles, camera movement and a little creativity. Readers will learn how to record dialogue, make music and sample their own sound effects, then send a soundtrack directly to iStopMotion using GarageBand and djay - all right on the same iPad. They will learn how to use iMovie to edit animations like a pro. Throughout over 230 pages, "iPad Animation" includes 26 movies, 23 sounds and nearly 500 images.

"It is a rich multi sensory experience you can play with," Lauridsen says of "iPad Animation." "It is not just a 'how to' book, it is a 'show me how' book. Children are great at making stop motion movies. As teachers, we find the best way to solve most challenges on a budget they can afford, but to a standard that is the highest quality we can achieve."

"This is an excellent resource for teachers that want to incorporate stop motion animation into their curriculum! Lauridsen's book is easy to follow and full of tidbits and resources that veteran animators will find useful! I love that this is a digital book, as the video and interactive resources just can't be duplicated with paper!" - Anna Adam, Tech Chick Tips

"We've been animating for five years now, the last two years with an iPad, and this book is the best source for anyone wanting to do it all with an iPad. It's all here: the sound recording workflow, the editing, the animating, the story process, etc. This is animation gold. [...] Workarounds, tips, mounting ideas, remote control of your iPad and so many more fun, real-world ideas saturate every chapter. We especially liked the use of 'mind maps' to navigate through the subject matter in the book. Mind maps work like our minds do, and we were able to drill down to the subject areas we were most curious about with clarity and ease." - Animation Chefs

"This book made me realise that there are lots of possibilities using this software, and I can see why people really get into it. In short, it is fun to read and the project ideas in the last chapter really bring the possibilities alive! Having multimedia capability built right into a book still seems remarkable!" - Peter Thirkell, Victoria University

Win an Apogee MiC With Your "iPad Animation" Purchase:
To celebrate the launch of his book, Craig Lauridsen will be giving away an Apogee MiC, provided courtesy of Apogee Electronics. This studio-quality microphone connects directly to the iPad, iPhone and Mac and lets you record any sound you can imagine, from vocals to voice-overs, instruments to interviews, and absolutely everything in between, so you can build a great track for your stop motion movie.

Participants will receive 15 extra soundtracks as an exclusive bonus. All soundtracks are original and have been composed by Wellington musician Theo Corfiatis.

Sacramento, California - Conceived by the London based Kuato Studios, Hakitzu Elite is the first of many planned titles from the studio that focuses on teaching kids STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills through gameplay.
