John Savio just created a full-sized full-body iPhone for his Halloween costume that runs Gravilux (see at 0:17 and 0:57 on the video below):

The Gravilux 1.3 update is available in the app store starting today. The new version lets you save and load personal presets for color and parameters, has new internationally understandable images for parameter labels, allows more range in gravity parameter slider, fixes a bug where stars were too large on iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch, and has been tested and optimized on the complete range of iPhone/iPad devices from 1st generation to iPhone 4 and iPad.

We’ve posted a new video of Gravilux 1.2 to YouTube:

Gravilux 1.2 is now available in the app store. It features a massive speedup–up to a hundred times faster–even on old iPhone 3s. Try Gravilux with the maximum number of stars to get a true taste of the improvement. Also new is antialiased points: try very low gravity and notice how the points actually move at a finer resolution than the pixels on your display, moving between pixels. And several other interface refinements are featured in this version. See below for a gallery of color images from Gravilux 1.2.

The New York Times Magazine published a great article on creative apps for the iPad in its July 4 edition, easing the fears of those believing the iPad is a “consumer-only” device:

“Apps like Gravilux awaken an ‘Avatar’-like sensitivity to electricity in the body, power in the palms and general connectedness.”

Gravilux 1.1 is now available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, including compatibility with the new iPhone 4 and iOs4. The new Gravilux includes color gradients, music, sharing on Facebook, adjustable star size, and more. There’s a completely new non-modal toolbar interface that uses popups on the iPad, and every feature for the iPad also works on the iPhone using modal dialogs. Please enjoy.
