A fix 240fps videos recorded under artificial lights - Flicker Be Gone - Published on 02/24/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Warsaw based Motivapps today announces Flicker Be Gone 1.2, its new video app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Shooting video in slow-motion under artificial lights quite often causes uncomfortable flicker. Flicker Be Gone will postprocess your video by averaging the frames' brightness to remove the flicker. This slightly lowers the quality of a video, but makes it far more pleasant to watch. There are two videos that demonstrate the effect.

Warsaw, Poland - Motivapps today is proud to announce the release of Flicker Be Gone 1.2, its new video app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Shooting video in slow-motion under artificial lights quite often causes uncomfortable flicker. This app will postprocess your video and remove the flicker. Flicker Be Gone processes the video by averaging the frames' brightness. This slightly lowers the quality of a video, but makes it far more pleasant to watch. There are two videos that demonstrate the effect.

"Plenty of iPhone 6 users reported a problem with super slow motion videos, an irritating flicker appearing due to artificial lights," explained Tomasz Kolinko, founder of Warsaw based Motivapps. "While the next iOS version may have appropriate filters to deal with the issue, a new app from Motivapps is probably the only tool on the market to fix this right now."

The effect happens due to fluorescent lights lighting up 50-60 times a second. Both human eyes and regular video recording equipment don't catch this, but once iPhone starts recording with 240fps, this becomes a serious issue. For years there existed desktop apps that removed the effect from professional videos, and probably within the next year such a filter will become an integral part of iOS. But currently probably the only way to deal with the issue directly on the device is to use Flicker Be Gone.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 2.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Flicker Be Gone 1.2 is Free (with in-app purchase) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. The free version allows the user to save the first 9 seconds of the video, and puts a watermark on it. The unlimited full version costs $1.99 (USD).

Insights for OS X Used for Probabilistic Renewable Energy Forecasting - Published on 02/24/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KnowledgeMiner Software announced the remarkable application of their critically acclaimed collection of self-learning forecasting technologies implemented in Insights for OS X to a set of high-priority probabilistic energy forecasting problems posed by renewables and the smart grid world. Insights is a professional tool for building predictive models from data of complex systems. It is currently used by NASA, MIT, Mobil, Pfizer, and many other corporations and research institutes worldwide.

Berlin, Germany - KnowledgeMiner Software today is pleased to announce the remarkable application of their critically acclaimed collection of self-organizing, automated forecasting technologies implemented in Insights for OS X to a set of high-priority probabilistic energy forecasting problems. Based on a 12-week rolling real-world forecasting scenario in four categories - electric load, electricity price, wind and solar power forecasting - for up to 10 sites, Insights' self-learning forecasting skills ended up in top five positions in all categories of the Global Energy Forecasting Competition (GEFCom2014) organized by the IEEE Power & Energy Society and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

"With only four teams out of more than 500 from over 40 countries successfully finished all four challenging GEFCom2014 forecasting tracks, this underlines the very high predictive power and productivity of Insights for Mac OS X right out-of-the-box. We are happy and proud to provide this proven high quality to our customers to allow them to easily, fast, and reliably turn data into knowledge to solve complex and urgent problems in their field," Frank Lemke of KnowledgeMiner Software commented.

Insights for OS X is a professional, yet convenient tool for building predictive models from data of complex systems autonomously. Taking observational data that describes a problem, system, or process, the software constructs a working mathematical model. Compatible with data stored in a variety of popular formats (e.g., Microsoft Excel), its AI-powered, self-organizing modeling algorithms allow users to easily extract new and useful knowledge to support decision-making. All models can be exported to Excel, AppleScript, or Matlab for further deployment.

Feature Highlights:
* Original, high-dimensional, self-learning, inductive knowledge mining with ease
* Automatically develops models and model ensembles from data, and it generates the equation that describes the data as a mathematical interpretation of how the model works
* Integrates all complex tasks, such as variables selection from up to 2000 inputs, knowledge extraction, model development and validation, into one process and hides it from user
* Live Prediction Validation technology
* Model export to Microsoft Excel, ready-to-use AppleScript code, or TEXT to be used in Matlab
* Powered by 64-bit, parallel, cross-platform (OS X, Windows), self-organizing modeling engine for multi-core CPUs and projects integration

Complex systems demand that we abandon the classical, hard approach of creating analytical models using theoretical systems analysis, since we often have incomplete knowledge of the processes involved, which forces us to make vague guesses about the internal workings at various stages of the analysis. Environmental, social, and socio-economic systems are but three examples. This approach is time consuming, inflexible, and leads to results that are questionable, ambiguous, and qualitative in nature. These challenges, as well as the nascent Internet of Things, require a paradigm shift in model building toward inductive modeling and forecasting technologies based on self-organization.

Insights for OS X is applied to health and life sciences related problems, sales prediction, financial and resource planning, engineering problems, climate change modeling and forecasting, and many others, and it is currently used by NASA, MIT, Columbia University, Merck, Mobil, Pfizer, and many other corporations, universities, research institutes, and individuals worldwide.

Language Support:
* English, Spanish, and German

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or later
* Any Mac with 64-bit CPU, 8 GB RAM recommended
* Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 768 pixel
* For Excel support, Excel versions 2011 or 2008

Pricing and Availability:
Insights for OS X is available as a Free, Advanced or Pro version exclusively from the KnowledgeMiner Software website. Academic versions can be purchased by contacting KnowledgeMiner Software directly. Review copies are available on request.

Dayo - Share Days Lets People Capture the Full Story of their Day - Published on 02/24/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer, Michael Gaeddert today introduces Dayo - Share Days 1.0, his brand new social networking app for iOS devices. Dayo is about capturing your life through photos. This app makes it fun and easy to share your memories in beautiful detail each and every day. Dayo lets users publish vivid photos and text so they can share the full story of their day as a combined, integrated and synthesized whole - rather than as disconnected moments or status updates.

Cupertino, California - Regardless of the advanced features or functions they may offer, a major design flaw in social networking apps is that they limit people to just sharing moments or events during a day, rather than the overall impressions and experiences of a full day. Well, that's a problem that developer Michael Gaeddert set out to solve with his new no-cost app Dayo - Share Days, and by all accounts he has not only achieved his goal, but may have ushered in a whole genre of social networking apps in the process. Unlike anything the app world has seen before, Dayo - Share Days lets users:

1. Capture what happens throughout their day via a series of text and photos, which can either be taken with their iPhone or uploaded from the camera roll.
2. Automatically combine those assets into a beautiful and personalized daily album.
3. Share their album - which the app refers to as "Days" - with friends and followers, or directly to various social networks.

Each of the Days that users create and share can be richly detailed with multiple text entries and photos, or they can take a minimalist "less is more" approach. There are no rules, and users have the freedom to create what fits their mood and preference. And when it comes to viewing Days, users simply swipe down to scroll through the album, or swipe right to read comments. They can also easily like, share, comment or republish their favorite Days. Other Dayo - Share Days special features include:

* The option to explore trending "Days", so that users can discover new and interesting people from around the world
* A clean and elegant interface that neatly displays each uploaded photo, its associated text, the posting time, and the number of likes and shares it has received so far
* A dashboard that shows users how many days they've been active in the Dayo - Share Days community, how many followers they have, and how many users they are following
* The ability for users to preview and explore the app without having to create an account

"Traditional social networking apps only let people share moments, not days," commented Michael Gaeddert. "But Dayo - Share Days overcomes this limitation by letting users publish vivid photos and text so they can share the full story of their day as a combined, integrated and synthesized whole - rather than as disconnected moments or status updates."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 25.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Dayo - Share Days 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

Rooftop Frenzy is a Martial Arts Action Themed Game of Epic Proportions - Published on 02/24/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rooftop Frenzy from Rise Up Labs turns gamers into an angry Kung Fu master who must skilfully jump from rooftop to rooftop in order to defeat criminal ninjas using one of nine signature punching or kicking moves. The epic new no-cost app for iOS and Android features frenetic and constantly-moving side-scrolling action, a phenomenal cinema-quality soundtrack, ultra-realistic sound effects and graphics, online player rankings and more.

Cupertino, California - Gamers who are fed up with predictable, boring and uncreative games - of which there are far too many to count for both iOS and Android - can now experience a creative new martial arts themed action game of epic proportions by downloading Rise Up Labs' unique new no-cost app Rooftop Frenzy.

Rooftop Frenzy, which earned rave reviews at the recently-concluded Digital World 2015, has a truly creative back story that goes like this: A brave and skilled Kung Fu master's "epic hair" during his youth was a source of joy. However, with advancing age his hair began to fall out, and reduce his happiness strand by strand. Eventually, all that he had left of those happy memories was his treasured comb - that is, until one of a group of thieving ninjas broke into his home and refused to drop it when caught. That sprung the Kung Fu master out of retirement and into action, and it's also where the app's fast and fun gameplay begins.

Gamers assume the role of the angry Kung Fu master who must skilfully jump from rooftop to rooftop in order to defeat the criminal ninjas using one of nine signature moves (hence the app's name "Rooftop Frenzy"). And since the bad guys are often carrying some pretty scary weapons, gamers must ensure that their timing, reflexes and hand-eye coordination are precise and perfect - or else they'll fail to rid the city of these thieving ninjas once and for all.

As they jump, roll, punch and the stick figure Kung Fu master through frenetic and constantly-moving side-scrolling action, Gamers are accompanied by a phenomenal cinema-quality soundtrack, and by ultra-realistic sound effects. They also enjoy outstanding multi-layered landscape backgrounds that have been meticulously crafted in an oriental style, complete pink-hued cherry blossom trees and more.

Star Drift Arrives on the App Store Today - Published on 02/24/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Squarehead Studios Ltd today introduces Star Drift 1.0.1, its new endless space gunner for iOS devices. Super easy to pickup and play, Star Drift carefully avoids the frustration of virtual control schemes; instead utilizing a simple one-touch mechanic. Just touch anywhere on screen to move up, release to drop down. Your weapons will take care of themselves. Retro inspired, vector-style graphics are complemented by an atmospheric sci-fi soundtrack provided by renowned composer, David Wise.

South Wales, United Kingdom - Former Rare and Retro Studios developer, Rhys Lewis whose prior credits include Banjo-Kazooie, Metroid Prime 3 and Donkey Kong Country Returns, has released Star Drift on the App Store Today. This is the first title for Lewis' Squarehead Studios, an independent game developer formed in 2014 on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales.

As a procedurally generated, endless space gunner, Star Drift carefully avoids the frustration of virtual control schemes, instead utilising a simple one-touch mechanic similar to Flappy Bird; press anywhere on screen to move up, release to drop down.

"a space shooter for the mobile age" - Mark Brown, Pocket Gamer

Star Drift also features a unique upgrade system. Pickups boost the players capabilities but only for a limited amount of time. Negative pickups, such as viruses leave the ship vulnerable and unable to fire but this can be turned to the players advantage, if they can discover how.

"For Squarehead's debut title, I wanted to focus on a tight and accessible arcade experience. I love the timeless nature of the classics and I think that Star Drift evokes the same feelings of simple fun and enjoyment" said Lewis.

Retro inspired, vector-style graphics are complemented by an atmospheric sci-fi soundtrack provided by renowned composer, David Wise.

"Dave is an industry legend and it has been a privilege to work with him on Star Drift" said Lewis.
