EagerEyes Shorts

Musings on visualization, photography, programming, etc. that are too long for Twitter but too short for (or don't fit) my visualization website, EagerEyes.org. Part of my vanity website, kosara.net, which is most notable for hosting my list of publications. If you still want to know more, see my university page at UNC Charlotte, and/or follow me on Twitter.

I love Nelson’s body language when showing off some of the iPhone 3G S features in Apple’s new Guided Tour. Take his VoiceOver demo that starts around the last half of minute 5.

At 6:07, Nelson asks the iPhone: “What song is this?” But he moves and smirks as if to say “BOOYA PRE, ANDROID, BLACKBERRY, AND SYMBIDORK! WHAT YOU BITCHES GOT NAO?!”

True, that guy is pretty good. Do they really recruit these guys from Apple Stores? I find that hard to believe.

What bugs me about the demo is the scenes where he’s “outside,” holding the phone perfectly still. The thing is obviously mounted somewhere, and the hand doesn’t move, either. The compass part is even worse than the video demo. It really freaks me out.
