Direct Sharing widget

posted Aug 28, 2016, 12:35 PM by Arno den Hond

Scan for apps that support direct sharing, get the frequent contacts and show them in a homescreen widget.

Should make it easy to select who to want to talk to in which app.

I want to do an Augmented Reality app for 3D screens.

So far i have come up with an interesting game concept.

I had some ideas for interesting Live Wallpaper apps. I'm keeping my list secret for now, except one: twitter timeline.. to be published soon!

Quick Search Box

Andoird 1.6's new Quick Search Box seems like a very powerful feature.
I want to make a set of tools to use this new feature.
The first tool is Search Calc but I am planning up to 12 additional tools.

Crap! I was planning to make an app which would create anaglyph pictures.
But I just discovered somebody else has beaten me to it :(

Oh well, on to the next idea...

A.R. + evolution

posted Aug 18, 2009, 7:59 PM by Arno den Hond [ updated Aug 18, 2009, 8:03 PM ]

I want to make a game or toy which renders creatures evolved in Darwin@Home on top of the camera view. GoogleMaps-StreetView seems to "know" where buildings start. Perhaps this information can be used to prevent the creatures from walking through scenery. The evolution itself will probably not be done on the device due to power/cpu constraints.

Tubular dude!

Probably lots of people have also come up with this (general) idea so there is no harm in sharing it.
Google Wave can be used through a web interface (like gmail) but a text-mode version was also demonstrated at the I/O presentation.
Text-mode is cool but android is colder. Which icy features could be implemented in an android wave-client?

Loose ends

I do not yet have a concrete idea but i want to do something with one or more of these technologies:

QR (bar) Codes
Android Scripting Engine
Augmented reality

Please let me know your suggestions on how to combine these? Thanks! :)

Self Replication

posted Jan 29, 2009, 5:42 AM by Arno den Hond [ updated Jan 29, 2009, 5:44 AM ]

A while back I have created a self replication technology for JME/MIDP.
Unfortunately this technology can not be ported to android because the bluetooth implementation does not support the Object Exchange Protocol.
If anybody knows a solution to this problem, please let me know.

Multiplayer game

posted Jan 29, 2009, 5:39 AM by Arno den Hond [ updated Feb 2, 2009, 8:20 AM ]

I would like to create a game which is in some ways similar to planetarion.com
It should not be a web based game but have a nice android interface.
It should be highly addictive. (obviously)
One of the cool things about planetarion is the huge amount of players.
My game should also have lots of players :)
