Gravilux

fun! *






Gravilux lets you draw with 'stars': it’s a combination of painting, animation, art, science, and gaming. As you touch the screen, gravity draws simulated stars to your fingertips. You can tease and twist the particles into galaxies, or explode them like a supernova.

When you double-tap, you can change parameters including gravity and number of stars, and enable antigravity or heat. Multiple fingers and multiple people can touch the screen at once, collaborating or competing.

Gravilux was first released as a work of interactive art by Scott Sona Snibbe that was only available in galleries and museums. [review, Padvance] Now it’s available as an iPhone and iPad application.
