Tether – As Seen Through PeriVision https://www.perivision.net/wordpress An Mobile centric blog ...

T(ether) is an experimental app that combines gestural interfaces, computer vision, and collaboration into an experience straight our of a sci-fi movie.

Creators Matthew Blackshaw, Dávid Lakatos, Hiroshi Ishii, and Ken Perlin call T(ether) “a tool for spatial expression” that “acts as a window affording users a perspective view of three-dimensional data through tracking of head position and orientation.”

So what this means is you can use the iPad to view a shared virtual space where you can manipulate objects with the other hand using a special glove. You can draw 3D shapes, rotate, pinch, zoom, and examine them in a multi-user environment. Two people looking through their iPads at a grid of virtual cubes can both reach in independently and manipulate them at the same time.

A cool concept that illustrates another way to do collaborative design in a virtual space.

Warning: MiWi will delete PDANet from your iphone, and might mess up other things https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/10/miwi-will-delete-pdanet-from-your-iphone-and-might-mess-up-other-things/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/10/miwi-will-delete-pdanet-from-your-iphone-and-might-mess-up-other-things/#respond Tue, 12 Oct 2010 05:01:30 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=3415 Read More]]> I installed MiWi when I playing with getting GPS on the ipad, and it seemed to work great.. At first. I then found out my cell data cell radios were messing up , wifi included.  AND then I find out it uninstalled PDANet.  WTF?

Well, seems like I’m not the only one who has seen this on 3.1.2.  The fix was a pain. I had to uninstall MiWi and do a deep reboot a few times.  MiWi FAIL!.  The problem is that MiWi on 3.1.2 somehow messes up with the network carrior settings, not fully sure what it does, but after I installed and used MiWi, which worked fine btw, I had to turn off and on my radios if I wanted to use them, this means edge, 3G and WIFI.  The fix is to do a  number of reboots, and if that does not work for you, try resetting the network carrier setting.

I ended up reinstalling PDANet and had to reinstall the SBSetting switch for PDANet as well.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Let us know, but for now, if you are 3.1.2 3g or 3gs, you may want to keep away from MiWi and stick with PDANet.  Sure you cannot connect you ipad because the ipad cannot support ad-hoc connections, but else its been a great tool that I have used for years and sits as No. 3 in my top 10 list of jailbreak apps.
