There's this iOS app that generates very similar images, but with some interactivity. https://itunes.apple.com/app/rgb-petri/id423126001?mt=8

Sweet, I attended a talk about this this spring in our university. The one big question was about the enormous energy density in these cubes. It must some way or another get into them, which seemed quite impossible to do. But, I for one hope this leads to some big leaps in performance that were previously not within reach for the foreseeable future.

There is also XRay Editor (http://mireus.com/xrayeditor/) that comes with an Xcode plugin to relatively easily convert the changes you made into code. It also has an overlay feature to be able to adapt to a mockup.

Then there's http://hierarchydetective.com/ which is OSS, still pretty rough. It support a few different hierarchies like UIKit, CALayer, cocos2d and can supposedly be easily expanded for more view hierarchy types.

Spark Inspector and Reveal are pretty similar at the moment. SI does notification tracking and also live UI updates (and rotating the 3D view in the client by device movement ;) ).

PonyDebugger is the only one that includes network traffic analysis.

I did a talk about these and more at CocoaHeads Dresden this week. Tough it hasn't been recorded and the slides are currently in German. I will translate them and post the link later.

you missed to multiply by 2h. 86400 frames equal only 1h.

It's case sensitive and has related problems in finding words. Entering all lowercase letters recommended.

While I'm sure it was a fun exercise to build it and there will most likely even be "helper apps" appearing on the App Store soon, I frown upon these. Letterpress will lose a lot of its fun once cheating takes over.

For some reason this app seems to miss a lot of its advertised functionality in Germany, or maybe just on my phone. The image search results aren't displayed in a scrolling slideshow at all, instead each result links to the desktop version of a typical image search result, showing the preview and information in a sidebar and the embedding web page on the left.

Yes, the voice recognition is very fast, but then again, most questions only work in English, no chance to get anything useful in German or other languages. That's not really competition to Siri in this department.

On an iOS device with retina display it's awfully blurry, probably just not rendering to a big enough canvas.

While stitching together the original images to a higher resolution panorama (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2Y0xU4gYdrLd1BFNXJiT1JacUE - 50MB, 31K pixels wide, do not open the image in the browser, but download it, you've been warned.) I noticed a very clear difference in brightness between the left and the right end of it (the ends meet in the middle of the image, since I was recreating the angle that NASA chose).

Looks to me like changes in weather during the time the pictures where taken.

You're right, so I went ahead and recreated the panorama with the source images. Output file is much clearer at 31,792 x 5,683 (~50MB).

You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2Y0xU4gYdrLd1BFNXJiT1JacUE (Use File --> Download, beware of opening this file inside the browser…)

Edit: Was wrong link.

Also: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/ doesn't load thumbnails but the full sized images… (is this 1994?)

Not to belittle the achievement, but what's up with the HUGE white stripes above and below the panoramic image? Makes browsing the image a bigger hassle than necessary and adds quite some MB in size. 11.5 MB for the full resolution image vs. 8.2 MB without the stripes (in PS saving at best JPEG quality) or 4.8 MB (at second best quality setting).

Thank you! The lower part isn't really a good fit, but the upper part is nice to look at.

Thanks, and yes, it does roll off one's tongue :)

The algorithm is actually a lot quicker to act. Once an hour would be quite useless in many cases (especially power loss).
