Unity 3D WebCamTexture rotation problem with Android – How to rotate the camera picture ?
Aug 21st 2012
I read that a lot of people are having problems with the Unity WebCamTexture and Android. Indeed the problem comes from the fact that the texture streamed from the webcam is always flipped by 180 degrees and you will always get a wrong rotated picture of the camera (even if you turn your device (see picture)). This is really annoying as you would expect that the WebcamTexture will show you a correctly orientated picture of the camera. Obviously the API of WebCamTexture doesn’t More >

DIY: Install AUX IN Cable for Volkswagen RCD 210 RCD 310 car radio (for Polo/Golf/ Seat Ibiza)
Jul 21st 2012
In this tutorial I will explain all the steps to extract your RCD 210 (will also work for RCD 310) car radio system in order to plug a AUX-IN cable so that you can listen to the tracks of your iPhone/Android Phone over your audio system via a 3.5 Cinch plug (Jack 3.5 mm). Many new Volkswagen cars (Polo V, Golf VI) have the pre-installed car stereo RCD 210.
This radio system has according to the official Volkswagen car catalog no possibilities to have a connection with an AUX-In cable. The documentation states that you need the really expensive MEDIA-IN VW cable to enable this or to choose a more expensive car radio model. That’s absolutely false 😉 Here are the explanations!

How to compile with AIR 2.7 with Flash CS 5 for iOS development with ADT Helper
Jul 24th 2011
There is a lot of hype around the huge performance jump of AIR 2.7 towards AIR 2.5 when publishing for iOS and of course everybody wants to test it. Most of you have read how to overlay the inbuilt Flash CS 5.5 (AIR SDK 2.6) to AIR 2.7 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90810.html) but what should be done when you are still using Flash CS 5 with the old IPA compiler? Here is the solution to discover the full power of AIR 2.7 on your iPad… More >

Metronome Plus review – iPhone – iPad Metronome Application for Musicians
May 23rd 2011
Tick-tock, tick-tock: millions of musicians are following this sound every day. You guess it; the metronome is the musician’s best friend to stay in the rhythm while playing their instruments. For those who use a traditional metronome (also called mechanical metronome) you will notice after a while, that the beat won’t be accurate enough due to the pendulum and the internal mechanism.
The solution is pretty straight forward: let’s take a digital metronome or download a metronome app. This sounds simple, but not every metronome app is accurate enough to ensure no delays and accurate rhythms. I’ve found a pretty nice app called “Metronome Plus” More >
Installing Android (2.2) on your iPhone (2/2)
Nov 20th 2010
In the last post I’ve explained how to install the most difficult part of iDroid (but honestly, was it really difficult ?)
Now that you’ve successfully installed your Froyo it’s time to install some apps for it and to see how it works.
To start with this second part, I assume you have the Android SDK installed on your computer (http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html) because we are going to use some of its features to connect directly to the phone. More >

Tutorial: Using TV Out with an iPod Touch 2G/ iPhone 1-2-3G for self-written apps with XCode
Apr 13th 2010
Here we are again with a typical problem when using an iPhone or an iPod Touch: you have built a nice app with XCode and would like to show it to everyone during a presentation. Unfortunately you don’t have the magic “Steve Job” cable that will allow you to show to the whole audience what you are currently doing on your iPod Touch.
Only the Video app allows a direct video output onto the cable. This is so frustrating! But fortunately here is a solution. This solution is based on jailbreaking your device and installing a special app that will over a private Apple API output the screen buffer directly onto the cable. It’s really worth trying it out and will give your presentation a new dimension, because not so many people are using this technique. More >
