Sonic Wire Sculptor and Rhonda, a 3D drawing tool

Amit Pitaru and James Paterson, creators of Numby, an app for kids to teach counting skills, have been involved in a number of interesting projects.  Here are two of them:

Sonic Wire Sculpture


The app creates music in 3D, so it is best to use headphones.


Sonic Wire Sculpture is available as an iPhone app.  More information can be found on the Sonic Wire Sculptor website.


Rhonda Forever is a 3D drawing tool that was born around 2003 and has a team of developers who are working to create stable releases of the application so it can be accessed through different platforms.  There is a newer beta version of Rhonda for PC and Mac that can be downloaded from the Rhonda website. The team is working on releases that will support 2-hand interaction.


I'm hoping that Rhonda Forever will be available for the iPad.

I've been meaning to post reviews about my favorite apps for kids, but there are so many that I love and use at work and when I'm with my little grandson, I haven't figured out where to begin!  


I came across information about the Numby app on the Creative Application Network website, one of my favorite places to learn about creative, innovative applications and technologies. The app was created by Amit Pitaru and James Paterson.
