TokeiTango is derived from the Japanese words 時計 tokei (watch/clock) and 単語 tango (word). It's a flashcard app for learning over 9,000 of the most common Japanese words - think of it as Anki for the Apple Watch. TokeiTango is built exclusively for the Apple Watch. Every screen and study session is designed for the small screen and a few spare seconds, so you can sneak in some Japanese while catching the train, waiting in line, or giving your raised arm a rest. Key features: - Spaced-repetition algorithm that repeats words you struggle with more often than ones you already know - Conjugations for verbs and adjectives - past, negative, て-form, and more, all spoken aloud - Grammar Patterns built from the words you're learning, like "a way of," "be able to," and "have to" - Example sentences for every word, written to use only vocabulary and grammar you've already learned - Audio pronunciation for every word and sentence - Choose how you learn - by JLPT level (easy to hard) or by word frequency (common to rare) - Bookmark words to look up later - Statistics and a 28-day activity view to track your progress - Watch face complications so you can learn a new word with a glance - Daily reminders to keep your streak going Romaji uses the Hepburn system, the clearest way to read Japanese with English letters. TokeiTango is built and maintained by san serif, an independent studio in Sydney. If it's helping you learn Japanese, we'd love a review on the App Store - and if you have feedback or ideas for future versions, follow us on Twitter (@tokeitango) and let us know.

Experience my artworks through the augmented reality app I have created for my 2020 exhibition at Saatchi Yates Gallery. Each artwork in the exhibition has an augmented 3d layer which is revealed using image target recognition. In the app, point your camera at a work from the show to experience it in AR. Move your camera around the image to interact with the 3D content that appears. To explore my virtual studio, tap and swipe the buttons and objects around the room. The augmented reality content in the app also works when you view the images in the exhibition catalogue. You can find a copy of the catalogue on the Saatchi Yates website.
