Ink Hunter – An app that lets you see your tattoo before you get it. #AR #Tattoo

UPDATE.. Now also on Android.

The Tattoo,Some like them some hate them and some think that people that sport them are not part of modern society and make you look dirty,Yes there is still a taboo with the subject along with many other things today. Anyway even if you dont have a tattoo and considered getting one this is the place to go and see what it looks like before you even hit the tattoo artist..The app is on iOS only for now but it is coming to Android and Windows Phone..The app actually uses augmented reality and is in real time so its pretty cool indeed. Say hello to Ink Hunter 

The app simply works by using your mobile phones camera and you then scan the desired area you wish to have your tattoo placed,This is then when the AR comes into effect and it will relay the image back to your device and that is all there is too it.You can pick designs or chose your own too which is good rather than been left with specific templates.

App features

You can try on your own tattoo or choose one from the gallery.
– Observe your tattooed body from different angles!
– Take nice shot and make it looks like real in advanced editor.

 

 

 

Entertainment.ie TV Guide gets a UWP app. #Windows #TV #IrishDevs #UWP

Lets be frankly honest here,when it comes to local apps here in Ireland for Windows Phone it sucks,It cant be denied end of story,with plenty of apps for Android and iOS there is a rare sight of a Windows Phone app to match to the numbers, Alongside the ignorance from the companies themselves alongside the media with little or no  coverage of apps it has been a downhill battle for the last few years and market share now proves this,I personally have given up constantly asking companies due the same repeated scripted responses when we all knew they would not bother their backside with Windows Phone apps,The most common saying was “We do not have any plans to make this app for Windows Phone” This in turn has made people jump ship,the banking sector and airlines in particular where users can use their devices to make life easier,it just never happened and probably never will..

 

Today there is some good news from a third party dev called Thierry Fierens who has developed an app for the Irish people,and its people like him that give Windows Phone users some hope and perhaps cling onto the platform a bit longer,the app is called Entertainment.ie TV (Unofficial)

Thierry tells us he was fed up not being able to check this on my phone. Then i thought, I’m always on my laptop or tablet, so why not make an app that works on all 3.

A mattress that can tell on you if you are cheating. #WeirdTech #WTF

This is probably going a bit too far but nonetheless its here and it aint cheap and if you do be stupid enough to buy one there is something wrong and not only that people do sleep in other places too unless the makers are confined to the bedroom? Internetofshit has found a good one here, Say hello to the Smarttress complete with 24 sensors to detect suspicious activity.. Yep  and it is only going to cost you about a 1500 EURO, Have we not heard of hotels lads?

It simply works by sending alerts to your mobile phone via an app thats on Android and iOS and even at that anyone could be on the bed such as your pet or a child for example,I actually think this is some kind of joke to see what traction they get out of it,if its not it will fail miserably. There is such things in life as trust and private detectives if you feel the need for one but this just takes the piss..

New #Viber scam to watch out for,sms and calls. @Viber #Scam #SMS

Today we got an unusual call and sms on Viber and the name “Mark” just appeared on my handset. These are not new to be honest but its best to keep people informed of what activity is doing the rounds,the message also contained some tempting information to earn money from home with a link attached,As per norm just ignore and delete and block the number from within the application itself. These kind of messages come do some rounds and then vanish after a while. The number attached to this is said to originate in Russia,Just be vigilant and ignore any of these kind of sms,calls and text,mostly they are there tempting you to call back which ends up with the user calling back some kind of premium service and costing you money..

See images below for the information..

 

Payoutsure is just a shitty video leading you to believe you will make millions,stating they have featured on several sites yet no links to prove it,see the top of the image,Sky and CNN and so on..

The Meizu Pro 6

The Pro 6 is a familiar looking phone, been really close to what an iPhone could look from the distant, but that’s now a bad thing, as that means a great looking phone to watch.

Also, the devices comes with dedicate audio chips to improve quality like mSound and a third generation NXP Smart PA system, to deliver great and loud sound without distortion.
