Now a gel cutting app could more easily show a new electrician the best way to get the most cuts out of a sheet.

Builds on Current Apps: The ipad can expand on the ever growing lighting apps available for the ipod touch and iphone. Josh Williamson suggested that this could also come in the form of a magic sheet that you could touch or gesture to control the lighting.ģ. Control: Lighting Control over the iPad will all ready be possible using great apps like iRfr, Luminair, and the GrandMa remote.

Now if you use a spread sheet to do paperwork, Apple is bringing there iWork software to the ipad which has a built in spreadsheet program.Ģ. I would like the ability to edit that paperwork an in an ideal situation have it linked to Lightwright.

As it ships it will have the ability to read paperwork in the form of a pdf through free programs like Evernote or Drop Box. Paperwork: The ability to paperwork at my finger tips and not clutter up the tech table is a must have applicatoin.

My book self is full and the ability to have those books with me all the time is would be helpful. Research: I like the idea of putting much of my library on a single device. Apple showed off at its address some sort of painting program that will come with the device.ĥ. I recently tired the free version of SketckBook Mobile by Auto Desk on my ipod touch and it worked ok but it could be really useful on a bigger screen. Sketching or just doodling on this device could increase productivity and help organize all those doodles and sketch in one place in a digital format. A dream application would be a VectorWorks or AutoCad viewer that let me view the document with a wide array of measurement tools.Ĥ. As Andrea Bilkey points out the processor in this device would not be big enough for a complete drafting program. I don’t need to draft on this device, the screen is much too small. I have looked at light plots in the past on my ipod touch but i really need a bigger screen. Drafting:The ability to view drafting on the go is always a help. Portfolio Presentation: For a one on one with a director or producer the screen size and wow factor make this a good device for showing off your work.ģ. Rendering Presentation: The screen size is large enough to show off costume renderings as well as some scenic renderings.Ģ. I posted one of my ideas on Twitter and Facebook and got some great responses here are those ideas and some of mine. Now is this a revolution? Not yet but I see some potential uses for designers and technicians. For those who did not hear the announcement a couple of days ago Apple announced its new ipad, which is an ipod touch with a nine and half inch screen at a starting price of $499. Ok that’s a big statement that the apple fan boy side of me is shouting at the top of his lungs in the back of my head.

Januis a day that will live in history as the day apple revolutionized how we produce theatre and maybe revolutionized the world.
