FractRoam is a real-time explorer for the Mandelbrot and Julia sets — and its heart is the autopilot. Press play and let it roam: FractRoam continuously seeks out the most visually interesting regions of the fractal and glides you through them, an endless, ever-changing tour you can simply sit back and watch. Want to take the wheel? Pinch and drag to wander on your own, and recolor the whole scene with a tap. Everything is drawn pixel-by-pixel on your device's GPU, in real time. FEATURES • Roam autopilot — hit play and drift through a continuous, auto-discovered tour of the fractal • Real-time Mandelbrot and Julia set rendering, GPU-accelerated and smooth • Pinch and pan to explore yourself, or hand it back to the autopilot anytime • Color moods — six hand-tuned palettes plus animated color cycling • Share any view — a picture plus a link that reopens the exact same spot • Fully offline — no account, no ads, no data collection • A calm, full-screen interface — just you and the fractal Whether you want something mesmerizing to get lost in, a generative-art source for textures and wallpapers, or a hands-on way to explore the math of self-similarity, FractRoam turns the Mandelbrot and Julia sets into something alive. There's a matching macOS screensaver too — find it at fractroam.com.

Have you ever tried talking with body movements? Instead of using words, use your body movements to ask questions, give your opinion, and wait for the other person to respond. Try to understand what the other is saying with her/his body, without using words. Explore this new universe and discover your body. Discover your expression. Discover how you can say amazing things using your body in a new way like you've never done before. Something totally new for you to try: BodyWay Nota-Anna, an App of motion capture with visualization and sound options for social networks. How it was born? A dancer, Analivia Cordeiro, dreamed that one day everyone would communicate and talk through movements, when technology instruments were still rudimentary, in 1983. Time passed, a lot of research was done by her and Nilton Lobo, responsible for the tech solutions. Together, they created Nota-Anna, trying to turn this dream into reality. Finally, 39 years later, their dream comes true: BodyWay Nota-Anna, a way for people to talk to each other using the movements of their bodies, without words. BodyWay Nota-Anna creates a graphic visualization of your body movement video. You can choose an image background, add a soundtrack. If you want, put a comment and send it to a friend, a relative, a partner, to anyone who you want. And wait for this person to answer. Thus, in a back-and-forth, you create a movement dialogue. BodyWay Nota-Anna is easy to use, fun, applicable to anyone anywhere in the world. A new way to communicate, create and have fun.
