Custom Software Development

Lazy River Software  specializes in creating Rapid Application Development (RAD) projects, Demonstrations, Prototypes and Presentations, always taking your needs and ideas into account when developing a solution. We create software solutions that run on Macintosh, Windows and some Unix operating systems.

Lazy River Software can help you realize your project by using Rapid Application Development tools to quickly develop a prototype from raw material and ideas. Changes and additions are fast and cost effective at the RAD level  and when completed a RAD project can be used for demonstrations and presentations.

The finished RAD prototype can quickly be taken to a final  executable application as is or futher be developed in a traditional lower level language like C/C++. The finished RAD project may also be used  as a prototype for development for Handheld PCs (Palm, Windows CE,  PocketPC)


Custom Software Projects

SCIconics LLC - Los Angeles, California  2008

 

iPhone Application Prototype and GUI

Client wanted to take existing patented technology into the Handheld PDA and Cell Phone environments for use with Media Portals and to design on the iPhone. They needed to develop a whole new concept and design with new icons, a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) and a complete database of content for Movies, Music, TV, News, Sports, and the Web.

Solution: During the development of this project we created an iPhone Emulator and Interface for the client as well as all new icons and a truly unique GUI for Media. A cross-platform emulator of the iPhone handheld device was created to protoype and demonstrate the interface. Client played a large role in changing and developing the interaction for this project.

Minspeak PocketPC  

PocketPC Application Prototype and GUI

Client wanted to take existing patented technology into the Handheld PDA and Cell Phone environments for use with SMS (Short Message System) texting and Navigation. They needed to develop a whole new concept and design with new icons, a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) and a complete database of phrases in six languages including French, Spanish, German, English, Japanese and Chinese.

Solution: During the development of this project we created 256 new patent claims for the client as well as all new icons and a truly unique GUI for SMS. A cross-platform emulator of the PocketPC handheld device was created to protoype and demonstrate the interface. Client played a large role in changing and developing the interaction for this project. An Address book was created in the custom built emulator as well as an Editor, Navigator, SMS application and eight sample games.

ISTS Inc Logo

 

@themoment Logo Design and Corporate Identity Logo

Client needed to create a product logo that was more in touch with the look and feel of the product offering, @themoment. The existing product logo was a rough idea but did not compliment the product fully. The new logo shows the vitality and progressive nature of the @themoment product.

The new @themoment logo was further put onto more than a dozen t-shirts, coffee mugs and gifts and an online store was setup for client purchasing and promotional gifts.

Client also needed to update their existing Corporate Identity Logo to be more in line with the company philosophy and direction.

Minspeak™ Teaching Materials

Clent needed to demonstrate and teach the unique aspects of their patented technology to a diverse audience with the ability to update the content often.

Solution: Presentations were prepared using custom templates for use in PowerPoint as well as Macromedia Director and Flash. Content included Quicktime Video, Animation and thousands of screen shots of existing  hardware. Hundreds of presentations were created from which to draw on for present and future custom presentations. This series of presentations has been used for seven years now and has stood up to the need for constant updates.


Minspeak Phrase Book  

Multi-language Phrase Book Translator

The client had an idea for a multi-language phrase book translator based upon an existing patented technology.

Solution: Create from initial concept to final prototype an iconic phrase translator. A cross-platform executable application was created with a complex iconic database retrieval  system. The system includes databases for five languages, German, French, Italian, Spanish and English. A phrase is entered via the iconic keyboard and is displayed in the language of choice and translated into the language of choice. A web based component was added to allow the system to send the translations over the internet to another system.  This prototype was used as the basis for starting a whole new company designed to take this technology to Handheld PDAs and Cell Phones.

Informative and Instructional Marketing CD

The client needed an informative and instructional CD for distribution and marketing. The instructional material for this client was only available from many different people and in many different formats. The client also needed to distribute emulators of their hardware systems.

Solution: Collect the material in a format that each person was familiar with i.e. Powerpoint and text files.  The material  was then organized and formated into a similar style using custom templates. A cross-platform application was created to navigate this content and voiceovers were added. An interactive glossary and bookmark system were integrated into the application. A section was added to allow registration and downloading of the clients emulators. A Flash movie was created and then added to the application and a master CD was created for mass duplication.

  Icon Database & Distribution CD/DVD

The client deals with many icons that need to be updated regularly. The problem was that out of ten thousand plus icons there were only three thousand five hundred actual icons in use, the rest were duplicates due to the fact that the client was not able to track which icons were used where and if they even existed.

Solution: Organize and create a database for the icons to distinguish between the original icons and the duplicates. Also, the database contains new embedded metadata describing the attributes of each icon. Several people were hired familiar with the icons and their usage and were tasked with entering the metadata for each icon. All icons were then organized into relevant categories with sub categories. Others were hired to research and organize the icons and to identify and remove the duplicate icons.

The finished organizd and embedded database was then combined with a license free browser and compiled for distribution via a web based component and on CD and DVD. Artwork was designed from the clients source material for CD and Jewel Case covers.
