ok, old old website but wanted to add it. it's the inspiration for my iphone app. project at college. oh, yeh, i have to design a new app. for the iphone, so thought i'd take it a step further and say it's for the new generation iphone where the structure of the phone can change.
it's going to be an app. that when clicked, has two functions. the healthy eating function will have sensors at the side of the iphone that u can wave infront of any food source (doesn't need to have a bar code), so say you're in a restaurant and you've ordered a meal, when it comes you can check the ingredients (good if you have an allergy and want to make sure that you won't have a reaction from eating the food) and also how many calories, fat content, sugar/salt content, etc. this will also be for people wanting to keep in check their food intake. for a country like the UK that's increasing in size all the time... or so i've heard, it means people can easily keep track of weekly targets, intakes, how much calories to burn off, etc. oh yeh, the iphone will also keep a record every day/week/month year to see how you're getting on. it'll be (maybe) good for people who don't want to shout out to the world that they're watching what they eat.
the other function is the fitness function. when this option is highlighted sensors will come up on the back and the iphone will attach around your arm and the sensors will pick up heart-rate, salt content of your sweat if you're working out (good to check if you need hydrated.. i think) and will so distance gone, calories burnt off, and everything else that goes along will checking you're workout. there will be exercise plans on the iphone, weekly targets, etc. this will also be linked the the healthy eating function so you can check and compare the two against each other.
my thoughts were apples need to stay one step ahead of the competition so this app. will market against the 'nokia morph' but also consoles like the 'wii' and the game the 'wii fit'. people will go out and buy the DS for brain training, or the wii for the same game or the wii fit, etc, so why not make an app. that people will buy the iphone mainly for. app.'s just now (or what i think off app.'s) are just add on's for the iphone, something you get for shits and giggles, this concept idea kinda markets directly against the 'morph' and the 'wii'... kinda.
anyway... need to make a mock up website promoting the idea. haven't done anything yet.
yeh, this is the 'nokia morph'. saw it ages ago and still think it's cool :)
