Traveler’s Quest: Are you ready for ADVENTURE?

A few years ago I wanted to play a GPS (Global Positioning System) game. Unfortunately you had to have a group of people to play a GPS game and most of my friends at the time were not that adventurous
The folks over at Kitty Code games have granted me my wish and developed an iPhone app called Traveler’s Quest that enables you to go treasure hunting in the real world using GPS!
You find yourself taking detours just to get a treasure! Even for folks that do not travel much this game is very fun and addictive. Will you be the first to reach the location or will someone else beat you to it? Will your treasure be buried for days and days, collecting gold, before anyone finds it?
The treasures are digital ones of course because it would not be feasible to bury all those treasures across the world. Even so, the game is still very fun to play because you will have to complete collections and gather achievements to get to the top of the leader boards!
Oh and it not only gives you something to pass time but it will also get your lazy bum off that couch and go outside discovering new places. I started to play this game a few days ago and my enthusiasm was that convincing that my parents even offered to bring me to one of the treasures haha! (And no, I did not take them up on their offer. It is my responsibility to gather treasures, by public transport, bike or walking )
Anyways, the game could still use a lot of new treasure hunters, especially in my area (Netherlands) to make it even more competitive and fun so go! start your adventure!
You do not have an excuse to not download this app for your iPhone since it is free through the 18th of April (which is tax day in the USA)
Good luck on finding the treasures buried by me!

Honda Jazz Commercial Interactive iPhone App: This Unpredictable Life

So I have been the lucky owner of a iPhone 4 for some time now and I make sure to check the app store regularly for apps that could enrich my on-the-go lifestyle I have several apps that help me Plan, Play and let me keep in touch with my People.
Last week the Honda Jazz app caught my attention. It is the first app that lets you interact with a tv-commercial by swinging your iPhone. There are several characters in the commercial that you can catch with your iPhone and play with.
Wait, that sounds cool. I want to give it a try!
1. Download the Honda Jazz iPhone app (free!)
2. At the very moment the Honda Jazz commercial is being broadcasted at your television, start up the app OR watch it over at YouTube and open the app.

3. When you see one of these characters in the commercial, swing your iPhone. As you can see I still need to catch the pussy cat
4. Bring the characters that you caught to live! Play with them, sing to them, blow a balloon, you name it 
How it works
The Honda Jazz app makes use of so-called “screen hopping” that uses audio recognition to establish which character you just caught. So when the song of the commercial is being played and you swing your iPhone to catch the puppy, the app listens to the audio and knows where in the movie you swung your iPhone and which character was shown at the time. It enables you to interact with the commercial in real time!
Since I am very interested in image recognition I am curious to see if eventually there will be apps that actually recognize the content in the commercial (by using the built-in camera) and let you interact with it.
For more information about the creators behind this commercial and app, click here.
So which character is your favourite?
