Highly Interactive Alphabet iPad App Launches On App Store Today

by editor on 18. Aug, 2010 in news

Colorado Springs, Colorado – Pi’ikea St. LLC today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Interactive Alphabet 1.0, their new children’s learning game specifically for Apple’s revolutionary iPad device. Interactive Alphabet takes alphabet learning for babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers to the next level by offering a high level of interactivity with the letters of the alphabet.

Interactive Alphabet for iPad makes learning the alphabet a hand-on experience. The original artwork and characters draw them in, fun animation and sound effects peak their interest, and memorable unique interactions, such as eating the Apple, playing with the Squid, zipping the Zipper, and making music on the Xylophone keep them coming back for more. Each letter is softly spoken and the upbeat music and sound effects will have kids dancing, mimicking, and asking Mom or Dad if they can have their own iPad. Babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and even parents will have tons of fun with this great new app!

“We realized early on that kids were drawn to the iPad because of the ease of interaction (direct touch screen) and familiarity with their parents’ iPods and iPhones”, says co-founder Matt Smith. One of the surprises was that even younger children could interact with the iPad, as opposed to the iPod/iPhone. “The larger screen makes it easier for them”, says co-founder Ben Lew. “It doesn’t take as much dexterity if the app is designed with a focus to reach those younger kids”.

Matt and Ben were inspired to collaborate across the country to build an iPad app that would be fun and playful and take advantage of the iPad’s larger screen. After working on the app and creating a simple virtual version of ABC flash cards, Matt and Ben turned to their key user demographic (kids), to get some feedback. The feedback was good, and they could have submitted to the App Store, but they chose not to.

“We were happy that it was good, but we wanted to make something great”, says co-founder Ben Lew. Matt and Ben went back to the drawing board to figure out a way to take the app from good to great. “Once we got out of the mindset of mimicking physical abc flash cards and opened our minds to the possibilities of what we could do different with an iPad app, we knew what we had to do. Thus was born the version of Interactive Alphabet we are releasing on the iTunes App Store.”

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later
* 60.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Interactive Alphabet 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Moving Tales Inc. Releases Free Upgrade for 3D Storybook Pedlar Lady

by editor on 17. Aug, 2010 in news

Vancouver (BC) Canada – Moving Tales Inc., producer of innovative and exciting 3D Animated Storybook Apps, today released an upgrade for the first story in its Classic World Tales series, The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross.

The Pedlar Lady v1.01 upgrade has a number of new features, including additional musical accompaniment and sound effects, random audio effect implementation and stability improvements. A free upgrade for existing users, The Pedlar is available for new iPad users at the App Store for $4.99.

“The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross is a completely unique and unforgettable iPad multi-media experience,” said Moving Tales’ founder, Matthew Talbot-Kelly. “Especially with these additional features. The newly-implemented random sounds in combination with the existing random alternate camera selections ensure there are literally thousands of unique viewings of the story. We’ve also added stability improvements and additional image and sound accents – for example, the jewel in Crow’s beak is now red, and we can hear the bumblebee and a lovely humming ditty from the pedlar herself.”

Moving Tales also announced that iPhone and localized Spanish versions of the The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross will be released imminently. “We are beta testing right now,” said Talbot-Kelly. “The app works, reads and plays beautifully. I am very encouraged by the iPhone/iPod touch user experience – it has an identical feature set to the iPad version, of course reformatted for the smaller screen. The intention is for all future Moving Tales to be released simultaneously for the iPad and iPhone platforms.”

The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross:
Inspired by the age-old tale of a man who becomes rich through a dream, The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross describes the journey of a poor pedlar woman who, guided by the shifting line between the real and the unreal, discovers a surprising and wonderful treasure.

Classic World Tales:
Each App in Moving Tales’ Classic World Tales series features film-caliber, sophisticated 3D animation and text, original music and evocative filmic sound effects to create imaginative interpretations and adaptations of classic folk tales, archetypal yarns and legends from around the world. The apps’ dynamic typographic layouts can be animated using the iPad’s accelerometer, incorporate randomly selected alternate perspectives to ensure no two viewings are alike, use Cover Flow-like navigation and include compelling, poetic voice-over narratives.

By presenting tales of transformation, truth, drama and humor using a state-of-the-art digital ‘mash-up’ of methods from the worlds of ebook publishing, graphic novels, film and interactive media, Moving Tales establishes a truly original and engaging new world of storytelling.

“We started Moving Tales to expand and explore storytelling on the iPad/iPhone platform,” said Matthew Talbot-Kelly, Founder, Producer and Director of Moving Tales. “Not just any stories, but tales with rich legacies, many of which have been told for millennia. We are taking these stories for a walk – rephrasing and reframing them in a way that is compelling and appropriate to this new platform. Although they have aspects of books, animated films, storytelling and interactive media, the result is greater than the sum of its parts. Our very bold intention is to develop the first great iPad/iPhone storybook app.”

About Matthew Talbot-Kelly:
Matthew Talbot-Kelly, is the Editor, Director and Producer of Moving Tales. Born in Dublin, Ireland and raised in Toronto, Canada. After graduating with an architecture degree in 1990, Matthew’s interest in spatial and temporal movement evolved into a fascination with film animation. Since 1996, Matthew has worked internationally as a director, animator, digital artist, and designer. His animated short Blind Man’s Eye had its world premiere in the 2007 Venice Film Festival and screened all over the world. His new animated short The Trembling Veil of Bones premiered at the 2010 Palm Springs International Shortfest and began its festival circuit in June 2010. Matthew has been creating and illustrating stories since he was a young boy.

Next In The Series:
The Unwanted Guest – In this adaptation of a traditional Jewish folk tale, a poor old man, down on his luck and living in a tumbledown house, is visited by an unwelcome houseguest. The story tells of the old man’s attempt to rid himself of his surprising visitor once and for all.
