Swift – New programming language from Apple

Yesterday Apple revealed a new programming language at WWDC. I’m looking forward to learning it, and seeing what cool new things you can do. I’ll be downloading XCode 6 and seeing what it’s all about later tonight. Once I’ve spent some time with it, I’ll check back in and give you my thoughts.

Oculus music camera hack

Check out this article.

Here’s an awesome Oculus hack that gives visual feedback for audio. Could have some pretty unique applications. Artists come up with a visual feel for a song or album, and sell you their “experience.” Could be used for music therapy applications too. Combine it with wearable music controllers like a Hot Hand so you can both see and hear what you’re playing. Who knows!
