DM1 and Autorap app review
Control your phones by just looking at them
Researchers have developed a new gen-next cell-phone software that allows users to control their mobiles just by moving their eyes."You can use it for basic control, such as turning to the next page in an e-book, and playing games with your eyes," chief executive and co-founder of 'The Eye Tribe', Sune Alstrup Johansen, said.
The software by a Danish company uses infrared light reflected from the pupil of the eye, which is recorded by the device's camera, enabling users to scroll or click on their screens with their eyes, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
As people read an e-book and get to the bottom of the page, the software will know to turn to the next page, or if you look away from the screen it will dim it.
The Eye Tribe was developed by four PhD students who founded the company a year ago. They received USD 800,000 in funding in August to develop the technology.
Researchers plan to release the technology at no cost to other software developers early next year, Johansen said.
They said Eye Tribe aims to get their software integrated in the hardware of big tablet producers, so consumers can buy a tablet with the software and then download apps that run with the eye control technology.
Cameras on current mobile devices still need to be connected to a small unit with an infrared camera to work with the software, but Johansen said next-generation devices would very likely be able to use the software.
The technology is expected to significantly change the way users play games and use apps, said John Paulin Hansen, a former supervisor of the four co-founders.

NH7 Festivapp review
I remember doing writing exercises as a kid, where we were asked to summarise large pieces of writing in 6 words - no more, no less. If this review of the NH7 Festivapp was the subject of such an exercise, my answer would be "Stop reading and get the app." If you prefer a (slightly) more eloquent version, read on.
Festivapp comes from the OML (Only Much Louder) group, the guys behind the NH7 website and Weekender music festivals organised across the country under the same brand name. NH7 aims to provide a platform for Indie artists, and has been rather successful towards that end. Not many may know that OML group is also behind the TV show, The Dewarists and the ones responsible for bringing big-name artists like David Guetta and Lady Gaga to India via their auxiliary brands. Once you understand this background, you'll realise that Festivapp is just a natural extension ofthe brand.
Festivapp aims to "help users to discover and navigate music, literary and cultural festivals across India". Great, yet another "events" app. Exactly what the world needs, right? Wrong. Festivapp goes beyond your typical "events app" by not only listing the various festivals that are happening across the country in the near future, but also including every possible detail you'll need to know if you are considering attending the event.
In addition to basic information about the festival, the app provides the schedule, a venue map, a profile of the artist(s) involved and other details related to the festival. Festivapp also includes useful information like how to get to the venue and hotel recommendations (with a 10% discount in some cases) for those travelling from out of town. The amount of information available for each festival varies depending upon what details the organisers have shared, if the schedule of the festival has been finalised yet etc.
Two other features make the app stand out. The first is the Festival Wall that features Twitter and Instagram posts related to the festival, while also letting you join in the fun from within the app. The other is the Announcements tab that not only features important news from the organisers, but also lets you get in touch with them and have your own queries answered.
The only disappointing aspect of the app is that the option to buy tickets is not available for all festivals (yet). As of writing this review, only tickets for NH7's own Weekender festival in Delhi could be purchased via the apps. However, the developers say that they are working towards extending this to most, if not all, festivals. Another point worth highlighting is that the Android app doesn't seem as solid as its iOS counterpart, as it failed to fetch any data on a couple of occasions over the same Wi-Fi that had the iOS app motoring along. We had to manually quit the app and launch it again to fix the behaviour. We expect this to be ironed out in a forthcoming update.
All in all, the NH7 Festivapp for iOS and Android is a must-have app for anyone looking to stay up to date with the festival scene in India.

What are Apps or Application software ?
Application software, also known as an application or an app, is computer software designed to help the user to perform specific tasks. Examples include enterprise software, accounting software, office suites, graphics software and media players. Many application programs deal principally with documents. Apps may be bundled with the computer and its system software, or may be published separately. In recent years, the abbreviation "app" has specifically come to mean application software written for mobile devices, with the abbreviation in particular representing both the smaller size and smaller scope of the software (i.e. an app whose sole purpose is to display an image representation of the current weather).
DESCRIPTION
-Drag and drop pictures from your own computer
-Multiple bug fixes (especially with background changes not applying to Facebook)

A bit of a novelty, in that Google Goggles lets you take photos and have Google analyse them and come back with a search results page for what it thinks you're looking at.
