We recently did some intensive testing on Android Face Detection capabilities investigating various solutions. Francesco Florio (Small Screen Design) wrote a very interesting article about our findings and the features and issues related to Android face detection, in order to create a Demo application that allows realtime human face tracking. You can read the full post here.
This is just the first part of the whole content, so, stay tuned!
We, at Small Screen Desing, have just published a new awesome Live Wallpaper on the Android Market: Flick Ur Pics.
Flick Ur Pics is as simple as cool. It lets you show a distinct background image from your gallery for each home screen page! Just flick with your finger between home screens to see the wallpaper changing using all your gallery images. With few taps you can select a favorites list of images from the whole device library to be used as wallpaper.
You can choose between fade or slide animation type for the transitions, and how to display your pictures in every home screen selecting the fill mode you prefer (tile mode, stretch mode, fill mode). You can also enable automatic rotation between backgrounds with different timings.
I'm happy to announce that this blog is now featured in "Alltop" mobile stories! AllTop is a news aggregator that allows you to track the best inspiration news available in the Internet.
The purpose of Alltop is to help you answer the question, "What’s happening?" in "all the topics" that interest you. Alltop does this by collecting the headlines of the latest stories from the best sites and blogs that cover a topic, groups these collections — "aggregations" — into individual web pages.
Then Alltop displays the five most recent headlines of the information sources as well as their first paragraph. A pretty cool news... Thank you Alltop staff!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
