Welcome! Please browse our site to learn how you can turn your iPhone into a powerful navigation tool or digital magnifying glass. We welcome your questions and feedback, so please tell us what you think!

Huckleberry, the missing iPhone Compass App

Huckleberry is an augmented reality iPhone application that melds the digital compass with the real-time images from the camera.

Huckleberry overlays a three dimensional visual compass on the images coming from the built-in camera. The visual compass moves fluidly as you point and tilt the iPhone in any direction. This allows you to easily determine the bearing to any object in view.

With Huckleberry, you can either use the digital readout or the visual compass rose to determine heading. In addition, Huckleberry has built-in features to help you navigate at a constant bearing.

Simply tell Huckleberry which direction you would like to maintain and it will provide you visual cues to keep you on course.

Huckleberry uses augmented reality to create a whole new experience navigating with your iPhone 3GS (OS 3.1 is required).

Magnifying Glass - New York Times App of the Week!!!

The Magnifying Glass iPhone application instantly turns your iPhone into a digital magnifying glass and adds a digital zoom to your camera.

Using this utility, you can zoom and rotate the real-time images coming from your camera to obtain the optimal view of whatever you are observing.

Magnifying Glass is also a fully functional camera. At any time, simply snap a picture and the image will be saved to your phone. Because Magnifying Glass uses a digital zoom, the original full image is saved when a picture is snapped so no information is lost.

Magnifying Glass is designed specifically for the iPhone 3GS and requires OS 3.1.

As we mentioned above Magnifying Glass was named the New York Times App of the Week (10/21/2009)! Here is an excerpt from the review:

"Of the several [magnification apps] I tried my favorite is Magnifying Glass from I-Beam. The [iPhone app] is simplicity itself. Turn it on, point the camera at the fine print and then touch the plus button until it is enlarged enough to read...

"Two other built-in features I like about Magnifying Glass: the button that instantly resets the image to low magnification and the camera button that lets you take a photo of the magnified image. That way you can blow up the truly illegible on your desktop screen, or even enhance the image for better viewing."
