With the new ios 5 comes new frameworks. Today we are going to investigate one of the new framework: Core Image Framework. Core Image framework contains built in image filters to manipulate images and videos. The framework includes basic image filters like Sepia tone and Monochrome to advance image operations like face detection. One of the main advantage of the Core Image Framework is it's ability to be able to use both CPU and GPU power, and the result is very fast image processing. The framework can even support the real time processing of video frames. There are 3 main components in Core Image...



My adventures with the Sparrow framework

I had been looking into 2D game development frameworks when one of my friends suggested the Sparrow framework. Having struggled with OpenGLES in the past, I was eager to find a higher-level framework that would allow me to produce some working concepts without writing mountains of code just to render a basic shape on the screen. I found Sparrow extremely easy to learn and if you have prior 2D or 3D game development experience, it should be even easier to pick up. To get started, download the latest package from: http://www.sparrow-framework.org/download/ This package comes with the Sparrow...

ShareKit (2.0 is here) is a nice SNS library to make your iPhone development life easy. Dropping the folder int your project and enable share in a few lines of codes. I've been using TwitPic for twitter user to share their image but ShareKit uses img.ly as default. TwitPic is better for me in terms of supported formats and the simplicity; however, the recent OAuth things make so complicated. I'm not sure OAuth really contributing more secure authentication and I'm not sure SNS needs that high-level security system (people just upset after Obama's account hacked?). Anyway, I miss TwitPic's simple...

We just came back from Geoweb Summit 2011 in Brooklyn. The event was energetic, and we are glad to attend the meaningful panel discussions on both technology and business strategy. As a GIS Analyst / Developer, I always ask myself the following question: "What is the next generation of legacy desktop GIS systems?" I like NY City's mashup approach to provide an answer to my question. One of the panelist, Colin Reilly, is from the New York DoITT and he leads campaigns like New York Big Apps. This is an important movement since only the government and big organizations used to exclusively handle...

Kiichi started playing around with the iPhone SDK back in March of 2008 and we needed an idea for our very first native iPhone application. Our good friend Chris League mentioned in a conversation that one of his students said how the old rotary dialer phones were much more reliable than cell phones of today. The idea immediately clicked that we needed to build a Rotary dialer app for iPhone and it should be available on Day 1 of the App store Launch. We achieved that. iRetroPhone was born and it was reviewed by NYTimes back in 2008. Since then we only made minor changes. We moved on to other...

Dear Everyone, ObjectGraph is glad to announce that we contributed $3,000 to JMSA Japan Relief Fund.

Here are some tips for retina display 1. Since iPhone 4 uses points instead of pixels, the only thing you need to do is bake all the images to double resolution (For Example: 140 x 140 image should be blown up to 280 x 280) 2. Rename all your high resolution images as {image_name}@2x.png Here is a small shell script that will help you do that in a folder #!/bin/bash for i in *.png do mv $i ${i%.*}@2x.png done 3. Add both low resolution and high resolution images to as resources to your project. 4. Use the low resolution images as you normally do for any project 5. iPhone...
