Our official video and post for the Wind Mobile app is up. We’ve been so busy with project work that we’ve fallen behind with keeping our own site up to date, but we’ll make up for it soon with a whole new site launching shortly.

Another video of the Wind Mobile app, which really shows all of the features. At the front-end is the game-like attract mode, at the end is the super-secret admin console. Well, not so secret anymore. Wind’s press release on the topic is also up. Stimulant’s will come soon…

A short video of our Wind Mobile app. It still doesn’t quite show all the awesome, but we’ll have an official video up probably in the latter half of January.

A sneak peek of the Surface app we made for Wind Mobile. Shown here is just a fraction of its coolness. Expect more details in Jan.

Stimulant’s official video and writeup for the Kodak application. We’re doing another, sort-of-similar app for their booth at CES. Should be fun.

A bit about the vision system in Surface. The vision system is what makes Surface unique from other technologies which only handle basic touches, and is what makes things like the previously-posted Kodak application possible.

Microsoft Local Impact Map (for Surface)

A couple of months ago we finished the Microsoft Local Impact Map, a Silverlight app highlighting all of the progressive and wonderful things Microsoft does around the world. Today we launched a new look at the same data, presented on Microsoft Surface.

Microsoft Local Impact Map: Surface Edition from Stimulant on Vimeo.

Aside from being a cool multi-touch, multi-user, 360-degree application, this one is technically interesting because it shares so much with the Silverlight app. It uses the same data classes and hits the same web services as the RIA, but presents the data in a completely different way.

Whereas the web app is pretty much a single-user experience, we hope that the Surface version allows people to literally sit around the table and share an experience and a discussion about the stories and data in front of them.

It will be installed at Microsoft facilities around the world shortly. Look for it next time you’re on campus!
