| Magicplan: Take Augmented Reality To a New Level On iPhone Posted: 24 May 2012 01:05 AM PDT Augmented reality isn't always totally pointless. Sorry if you think it's hugely useful to see an augmented view of tweets around you just by holding up your phone, but I like to find slightly more advanced applications using the technology. Architects and designers everywhere know the amount of time it takes to get accurate floor plan measurements with a measuring tape, a pencil, and some graph paper, but now there's an app that gives you the convenience of measuring right in the palm of your hand in a matter of minutes. One such app, MagicPlan, fits that description.
A French-Canadian development company, Sensopia, has released an app that takes the work out of creating floor plans. MagicPlan works with the iPhone 4 and fourth-generation iPod touch. To build a floor plan, you go into each room and take a picture of each corner of the room. By doing that, MagicPlan measures the walls and doors in the room, and it creates a floor plan of each room. You then slide the rooms into their proper location by dragging them on the screen, and MagicPlan aligns the rooms and manages the thickness of the walls. Finally, furniture and photos can be added to show what the actual house or apartment looks like, and geotagging information is attached. From the two-year old start up Sensopia, the MagicPlan iOS app has rolled out version 2.0 of its floor plan capturing application, which allows you to hold up your phone then scan the dimensions of the room to create an instant floor plan. The app is free for download, and the free version provides you with a watermarked non-commercial use JPEG, PDF or a version that is uploaded to a website for viewing. For $4.99, the watermark is removed and the floor plan is available for commercial use. For $9.99, Sensopia allows six months of web hosting. The latter is useful for real estate agents who want to show off floor plans and photographs to potential home buyers. The app can be found here for download. Related posts:

| Ultimate Spider Man: Total Mayhem Review Posted: 24 May 2012 12:02 AM PDT Based on the famous comic character of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man this game impresses from the word go. Although games based on superheroes are the most common types of games available but this one surely is way ahead of others and a must have for action game-lovers. The plot is quite interesting and the game starts with our hero dealing with street thugs and robbers which seems to be a walk in the park for our guy. But as the levels progress we face the real bad guys of the comic world and the list is quite scary. The first major face off is between spider man and the infamous sandman in the heart of new York city. Then gradually the level of ferociousness increases as the battle rages on with Electro, Goblin, Doc Oc, Rhino, Venom etc etc. The game's gradual build up is simple and presented in quite a brilliant way. Now coming to the gameplay, there is a virtual stick on the left botom side of the screen for our hero to move around easily. On the right hand bottom side there are 3 action buttons(from top) viz –jump and web swing, normal attack or the punch button and a web skill button which helps to perform a variety of fascinating skill moves. Another button which frequently appears during combat is the spider sense button near the movement button. One needs to tap the button using quick reflexes to avoid sudden enemy attack and launch a dynamic counter-attack which is by far one of the most fascinating feature of this game. The game slips into a slo-mo and the sequences are worth experiencing. A special symbol button which appears seldom with an exclamation is for rescuing hostages, flip switches and other time based functions. The quick time events makes a blue spider symbol button pop up and one needs to drag it or slide it to perform some last minute moves. A camera button also pops up during action which can be tapped to get pictures which are saved to the gallery for later view. On the top of the screen along with the health meter and pause button another interesting meter called the 'ultimate web combo' is present which when full can be used to show a particularly fancy move and the bad guys bad time starts when this button is tapped. Spidey rotates at a high speed hitting the enemies surrounding him spontaneously and then a power surge which emerges from his body throwing the thugs around. Throughout the game you need to collect spider orbs of green and red colours. The green ones restore health and the red ones provide skill points which can be used to upgrade spidey's character. Artworks which appear at hidden places in the game can be collected to unlock arts. Now some tips and tricks which will help you get through the tough levels-
Some of the screen shots that were taken during gameplay are shown below :- The amazing graphics, smooth action scenes and the scintillating moves are capable of capturing even the attention of non-gamers. So go out there and save New York city from the super-villians!! You can download the game from Apple Store here Related posts:

| 5 Nexus Devices Coming On November 5th? Posted: 23 May 2012 10:00 PM PDT We have been getting quite a few reports off late regarding Google releasing its Flagship brand of devices the Nexus phones via five major manufacturers. However, the folks at TalkAndroid have learnt from reliable insiders that indeed on the 5th of November another 5 Nexus devices would join the gang with Nexus One, Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus.All these 5 devices would probably be sold right from Google’s Play Store and would not be Carrier Centric. I am sure most of you would be wondering what is it with the date of November 5th being so specific? The deal is that 5th of november would mark 5 year anniversary of Android. So now you see the magic of 5?And that is definitely the reason to pick 5 device manufacturers. We are fairly sure that HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola would be the 4 device manufacturers, who is the 5th, not too sure at the moment. The Galaxy Nexus was launched around mid of October so the release cycle pretty much coincides so it makes perfect sense for the devices to come out on November 5th. It is not a bad guess that these Nexus devices would be running the new OS 5.0 allegedly called Jelly Bean out of the board. So alongside the devices we might actually see a brand new OS too. Lots of things to get excited for. What are your views on all the Nexus Devices? Do let us know. Via: TalkAndroid Stay tuned to Blogtechnika as we bring to you latest in the world of Nexus and any further developments. Related posts:
