Get Free iPhone Tips

iPhone tricks and tips are some of the funniest entertainment options that the Apple producers have been offering to their iPhone product fans. Not only are they amusing and fun but they are also very interesting if we regard them from the technical point of view. The Apple producers thought of an innovative manner of showing users that there are more things that can be done with an iPhone than just the smart phone functions but also a funny iPhone application tricks.

iPhone tricks go beyond the classic iPhone features like the touch screen functions of browsing through artists and songs or pictures. These are the classical and basic functions that iPhones offer so these need not be considered when speaking of iPhone special tricks and gimmicks. However, the special ones, if we can call them that, are also related to the unique functions of the touch screen display that the iPhone offers.

For example, the iPhone popcorn trick application creates the unique effect of realistic popcorn popped in the screen of the iPhone.

This is one of the main attractions of iPhones, speaking of tricks, and it also goes hand in glove with another special trick, which is the iPhone beer glass effect gimmick. The latter one gives the impression that the iPhone screen acts like a beer glass and the illusion of beer is so realistic especially if the iPhone is directed one way or another, so as to make the liquid seem pouring.

The best about the beer trick is the fact that once you pour the beer out of the phone, metaphorically spoeaking, the iPhone apparent glass remains empty and you can still see some of those beer bubbles on the edges of the so-called glass that the screen represents. These iPhone tricks have been delighting many iPhone users and actually represent the reasons for which many people choose to buy their own iPhones, out of curiosity.

Besides the two tricks mentioned above, the iPhone offers another one trick to entertain you, which is in fact a sort of masterpiece of illusion. This is the iPhone x- ray application trick. The iPhone x-ray trick is considered as the most special as it includes involving your hand in the trick. It is very simple to do this trick by just placing your hand in the ray of the iPhone’s camera. You will then see your hand’s bones as if you were exposed to an x ray effect.

The originality of this trick, along with the others offered by this magnificent smart phone will delight more and more iPhone users as they discover it for themselves.

Imagine being able to point your iPhone at something and seeing hidden notes and information that only your phone knows are there. This is called Augmented Reality, and it’s currently coming to the iPhone.

Augmented reality is difficult to explain, but basically it is a system of information that is overlaid on the real world. When you move around in the real world and you have your iPhone with you, you can use the phone’s camera to view this information on your iPhone screen.

Science fiction writers such as William Gibson have played around with augmented reality, using a concept that Gibson calls locative art. In Gibson’s novels, a person can walk around with a virtual reality helmet and view works of art that only exist in cyberspace. As they walk past a certain point in the real world, they will see something there that isn’t actually real, but is a virtual image.

Real-life augmented reality is similar. One application of augmented reality on the iPhone is an application called TwittAround, which uses location information from Twitter users’ tweets and displays them where they were created. For instance, you can look through your iPhone screen, using the camera to see a view of the world around you, and see tweets precisely where people left them. This has enormous potential as an expansion to Twitter, as well as a marketing tool.

Other applications of augmented reality on the iPhone include live directions. You can hold the iPhone up, with the screen on, and directions will appear in front of you as if you were following personalized signs on the road. There is also an augmented reality browser known as Layar which is making its way to the iPhone, which allows you to point your iPhone camera at a place or object and see the place’s web site and information immediately hovering over it on your screen.

Augmented reality is being applied elsewhere besides the iPhone, for instance, users of computers with webcams will soon be able to view magazine advertisements through their webcams and see three dimensional images appear as their screen, as if holographically hovering over their magazine. Another is a museum in Japan where visitors can wear virtual reality helmets and look at computer models of live dinosaurs moving around the museum.

When augmented reality becomes mainstream, the iPhone is sure to be the first and foremost outlet for this exciting technology to be introduced.
