Oovium analisi dell'app per 12 aprile

Oovium makes my geek heart flutter. - Anne Wind This app is a thing of beauty. - W Smith Jr Wow I love this - OkeyMor57 22nd century calculating - bill knighton This will become Hari Seldon’s Prime Radiant some day. - nicked off Oovium is not an attempt to rehash old outdated inventions, but it subsumes much of their functionality. The calculator, spreadsheet, concept map, programming language: Oovium is all of them and it's none of them. Oovium is the first (but certainly not the last) of an entirely new class of app, the calculation sandbox. It has been made possible by the invention of the touch device and Oovium's clean, efficient and tactile interface, designed for such devices, has been part of its DNA since its inception. At its heart, Oovium aspires to make powerful, sophisticated and complex abilities (such as those currently available only to programmers) accessible to a wider audience. Oovium understands that increasing accessibility does not mean dumbing down an application by hiding complex functionality, it means making that complex functionality understandable by creating explicit visual representations for it. The workspace of Oovium is a two-dimensional surface known as the Aether. Upon this aether a user can place Bubbles. There are currently four types of bubbles: - InstBub is an instance of an object, usually a number, which in turn may be the result of an expression. - MechBub allows the user to define their own functions. - GridBub allows for a tabular arrangement of numbers and expressions similar to a spreadsheet. - TextBub is a node that can be connected to other TextBub nodes in order to create concept maps. These bubbles can be connected to each other in order to render sophisticated calculations in a visual (and aesthetic) way. Libraries of custom functions can be developed and included in other aethers when needed. The concept of Oovium has six different aspects; in its current form it contains only one of these six aspects. It is a highly ambitious project with much more planned, that hopes to empower users; it hopes to change the way people think about and work with their computers; in short, it hopes to change the world! Come help drive its functionality; come help make Oovium happen!
