Android – Iphone – Applications

Of all the things I thought the gyroscope could be used for on the upcoming iPhone 4, I failed to anticipate this. DrunkOMeter will hit the App Store around the time of the iPhone 4 release, and will utilize the gyroscope to measure exactly how hard you have been partying. To use this app, all you have to do is complete three simple tasks when sober and then again after you’ve had some drinks — the difference in how wobbly you are is an indicator of how drunk you must be. But the fun does not stop there. The DrunkOMeter will also stop you from calling, texting, or emailing exes, use Google Maps to show you the good and bad places to pick up late-night snacks, allow you to update your Facebook status with how drunk you are, integrate with Foursquare to give you special badges for your drunkeness, alert you if theTwitter messages you send are abusive or slutty, and enable you to send desperate cries for help to your buddies.

So, for those planning to invest in the iPhone 4, I implore you to check out this app once it hits the App Store. It’s ideal for those who like to have a good time and get a little crazy. Even if you’re not the drinking type, this app is sure to provide hours of entertainment and be a source of endless mockery for your out-of-control friends. DrunkOMeter certainly wins the prize for most amusing use of the gyroscope.

Unless you live in places like southern California, the weather is something you constantly need to check and be prepared for. Even now, in the Summer, you never know when it will be blisteringly hot, horribly humid, or damp and windy. Luckily, there are some weather apps that can help you gather a more accurate daily outlook so that there won’t be many surprises (unless you like getting caught in thunderstorms). These apps are “what’s hot”:

Weather Pro ($3.99) – This app gives you detailed weather reports (e.g. actual temp and what temp it feels like, wind speed and direction, humidity, chance of precipitation, and more) for many worldwide locations, and locates you automatically using GPS technology, so the reports are accurate to your exact positioning. It supports 3-hour and 7-day outlooks and delivers radar images.

Sun n Moon ($0.99) – As the name implies, this app tells you exactly when the sun and moon will rise and set for many locations worldwide. However, what makes this app special are the beautiful pictures the app delivers in conjunction with the times as well as the compass that tells you the exact direction the sun and moon will be coming from for your particular location. The app also enables Google Maps for you to set your location, and automatically handles changes in time zones and daylight savings time.

iSunBurn ($0.99) – While this may be more of a seasonal application, it is certainly useful, especially when you anticipate a lot of time outdoors. The app displays the UV index for your location or a location of your choosing, as well as what the UV index indicates and what protection it necessitates. Especially as the Summer sets upon us, this app is a great aid for avoiding harmful sun exposure during days at the beach.

RadarScope ($9.99) – This app is on the pricier end of things for a reason. It displays actual NEXRAD Level 3 radar data in its original format for any of the lower 48 United States and Puerto Rico. All information shown by RadarScope is incredibly accurate, updated every few minutes, and enables you to see exactly where and how strong storms are. If you are a meteorologist or simply a weather nut, this app is a worthwhile investment.

Windfinder (Free) – In addition to displaying weather parameters for 15,000 locations worldwide, Windfinder gets its edge from specializing on wind conditions, making this an ideal app for anyone who enjoys water sports. The app also offers real-time weather and wind observations for 3,000 locations and wind-related news updates.

World Weather ($0.99) – As is insinuated by the app’s title, World Weather provides you weather forecasts and updates for over 850,000 cities around the world. The app has GPS capabilities so that it can locate you for the most accurate information displays, and in addition to the usual weather conditions, the app also tells you of sunrise and sunset times as well as what phase the moon is in. What makes this app special are the graphics it displays, such as breathtaking clips of the sun, as the background to the information.

Fuel efficiency is an increasingly important issue, not only for our environment, but for our economy as well. Green Meter is an app that is specifically designed to address these concerns by computing your vehicle’s power and fuel usage as you drive, in order to evaluate how your driving is impacting the environment as well as your pocket. What’s cool is you don’t even need to be driving to be influenced by this app — simply by simulating acceleration by tipping your device forward and backward, you can see the effects of a certain speed range, endowing you with important knowledge on how to be maximally efficient before you even hit the road. Furthermore, the app does not require GPS because it calculates its information over a speed range, so even iPod Touch users can benefit! Finally, what makes this app so awesome are all of the colorful and intuitive displays the app uses to display information regarding your carbon footprint, acceleration, cost efficiency, fuel economy, and more! For anyone concerned about efficient driving, this app is for you — and the price of $5.99 will more than be paid for itself with each gallon of gas that you save!

Simple were the times when reality was exactly as we saw it. Now, apps are introducing augmented experiences to what’s right in front of our face. By utilizing the iPhone camera, many apps enable you to see things that aren’t immediately there, be it stores and restaurants in the nearby areas, information about your surroundings, or explosions of cars you see that you don’t particularly like. These “augmented reality” apps show what’s there in conjunction with what’s not, and could very well be the future of how we perceive reality, by enhancing it with information, fabrications, suggestions, others’ feedback, and advertisements.

An example of such an app is Sekai Camera. Using this app, you pan the camera around, and the app shows you all establishments and Sekai Camera users to the North, South, East, and West of where you are. In other words, even though you don’t actually see things, they are still projected into your immediate thoughts. Furthermore, the app allows you to interject text, video, and picture comments to float around in your supplemented cyber-world.

While many people may find the concept of augmented reality to be a little unsettling, it is very possible that it will become a mainstream element of society. How do you feel about it and the apps that implement it? Have you found any uses for augmented reality that make it better than the real thing?
