Holograms 1.0 for the iPhone

[asomeman1223]

Ha the baby look like jello when you shake it :D

[marcusy185]

kabayashi? thats your last name? my friend's last name is that too

[MachWerx]

@marcusy185 Yup, my last name is "Kobayashi". It's actually a really common last name in Japan, although less so here in the US... =)

[MarkQP]

pretty cool.

[emojake11]

realy well done good job

[OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ]

Excellent Stuff... The iPhone and Devolopers together, world domination... :)

[DominicanYankee5464]

hey is not free.. :(

[HardKore5250]

Man is the iphone sick or what what can't it not do!?

[DJ0KNUF]

Amazing dude! does there comes a free (lite) version so i can try it :D

[MachWerx]

Thanks! But no, there isn't a free version. That's what this video is for! If you want to see it in person, you're going to have to cough up the $1.99... =)

[DJ0KNUF]

@MachWerx whell than we have to do that!

Can you save pictures?

[MachWerx]

Yup, the pictures are saved on your iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad. There currently isn't a way to send it out to anyone else, though. Still gotta work on that...

[pourboypatrick]

very cool.

[dume85]

the name of the app is kind of misleading but its still a cool app. does it also work with the new better 3D glasses(they look like sun glasses) ?

[MachWerx]

The new glasses are usually some variation of polarization or lcd flickering so those 3D glass don't work on iPhones.

[mikeeey1337]

This is an awesome app! I really like it.

I was wondering if you knew how to copy images to the iphone/ipod photo library without them being "optimized"? I use my 5mp camera to take pictures and itunes downsizes it to a 640x480 image...

thanks!

[MachWerx]

I'm glad you enjoy the app! But unfortunately, I don't know how to copy images without them being "optomized". It's too bad because I would have liked to stored the holograms as uncompressed PNG files with the depth encoded in the image. But maybe someday.

[USGiorgi]

just as a follow up comment, great app. I love the laser car demonstration looks very very realistic. Can I give an advice for an update? maybe let people take 2 pictures one from the front and other from an angle and when they tilt the device, adjust the picture to match the accelerometer.

[MachWerx]

Thanks for buying the app and trying it out! And thanks for the suggestion. I've actually got an idea related to that that I'd like to work on once I get some free time. But it looks like work's going to be busy for quite a while...

[daheartless]

why when i search it on the app store it only has 1 out of 5 stars.... Why? O.O with 5 ratings.

[MachWerx]

That's odd, maybe it's a different app. It definitely has more than 5 ratings and it's higher than 1 star. Try clicking on the iTunes store link in the description on the upper right.

[daheartless]

nope it says

MachWerx

Holograms

and then picture of one shaded star 5 ratings

$1.99

[MachWerx]

That's strange. I see 2.5 stars with 97 ratings. Are you on the US Store? Maybe it's rated differently in different countries.

[daheartless]

yea mine is us app store... And im not seeing things =\

[MachWerx]

I'm using iTunes 8.2.1 on a Mac in the US. If you're not seeing what I'm seeing, then I don't know what to tell you. But I hope you buy the app and decide for yourself. It works exactly like demo video. =)

[daheartless]

Oh sorry about that yea ur right im in the wrong country -.- ... I thought they used the same as us.

[MachWerx]

No problem... maybe you could be the first to give it a good rating in your country! I think it the people who figure out how to use it are the ones who like it the most. Watching the demo video helps. =)

Also, if you run out of memory, try turning off the iPhone completely and then turning it back on. That clears up a some memory and helps apps run better.

[USGiorgi]

I just downloaded the app. It had 3 star rating but I know how difficult the programming of this application is and can't wait until it finishes download.

[xFatexIsxDestinedx]

^-^; Love Mach Dice.

Will have to grab this app, too.

[gigiballa78]

great app.. but greater developer.. congrats you are an anchor man

[parkour0roosta]

any chance this could be made for the symbian S60 platform?

[MachWerx]

Thanks for your interest, but not at this time. I've got my hands full just developing for the iPhone. =)

[pipopotter]

Loved you, you're adorable! ^^

[gamer047]

hahah "shaking baby"

[Yaemes]

woah this is one awesome app, i must say, but you've clearly never designed an interface for the iphone before. ya broke like 10 guidlines :-P not to be disrespectful or anything since i will be buying this BUT a few visual adjustments can go a long way to improve the interface. message me for specifics :)

[MachWerx]

Actually, I have designed a couple of interfaces for the iPhone before, for my other two apps: Mach Dice and Boom Dice. But I'm always interested in learning more.

[PATRICKmcnicholl]

ledgendary

[Maximilianoxe]

I LOVE IT!!!! i gonna buy it!!

[asia911]

Congrats on an Awesome App. This one has great potential. How about doing one for the desktop?

[MachWerx]

Thanks! I'm focusing on iPhone apps for now, but a desktop version could be interesting. Of course, most monitors aren't as portable as an iPhone or have accelerometers in them...

[vivaillie]

a macbook is perfect for make an app!

great app I'm gonna buy it right now!

[edmundo096]

and if you combine it with the Wii remote??, it can connet to a PC via bluettoth and program with GlovePIE

[backslashtech]

"Shaking baby"?!?  That's just wrong. =)

[MachWerx]

Oh no, you should *never* shake a baby. The video merely demonstrates what a laser hologram baby shaking of its own volition would look like.

[killerjourny444]

hay man you shiuld make it free

[edmundo096]

no, bcs he wold make more apps, its his reward for the time and dedication of the app

[MachWerx]

Thanks! It's been nice getting a number of visitors from that thread on Touch Arcade.

[jojo99913]

haha awesome app! i dont know why its not more popular! it really shud be on the top 25 app page. i have it on my ipod touch and i love using it! its a ton of fun! i made a really cool hologram of my fish! haha it was awesome! awesome app! thanks for making it!!

[shomaka]

OMG thats best app for iphone ever ever ever ever ever and ever coooooooool

[xyroxzone]

Yeah i always wanted a 3d laser baby!

great app man i will download it right away.

[EkkuZakku]

That is really cool, I wish I had an iPhone...

[MachWerx]

Thanks everyone! Glad you enjoyed it. I noticed that this video suddenly got a bunch of hits recently but I have no idea why.

[hostolis]

That is why!
