Bring Light Back to the Universe in Lumi, iPad version now on App Store
Foundation Games announced the release of Lumi for the iPad on the Apple App Store. This beautifully designed action-puzzle game appoints players with the task of restoring peace to save the universe with the help of a small but powerful creature – Lumi. Lumi will also shine its way onto the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch from December 20.
“Lumi immerses players in a rich story, told with high-definition graphics, to create a unique iOS gaming experience,” says Aron Beierschmitt, founder of Foundation Games. “We wanted to provide eye-catching artwork and ease of gameplay normally reserved for consoles, and with Lumi you get all that, plus addictive gaming, in the palm of your hand.”
Faced with bringing light back to a darkened universe, Lumi is the only one with the ability to reverse the encroaching darkness. Use Lumi’s powers based on magnetism and light to venture through a darkened world in an effort to save your friends and restore peace throughout the lands. Constantly facing ever-evolving dangers, Lumi must glide past icebergs and vine-strewn jungles, collecting fireflies to brighten and revive Light Trees to restore light in the universe. Fire Lumi out of cannons to reveal new pathways and advance in levels by manipulating Lumi’s magnetism. Repel the darkness while facing increasingly dangerous enemies who want the universe to remain in the dark. By defeating these foes and reviving the Light Trees, you’ll watch the world return to lush beauty. Read more

But what about the nearest medical care? When it comes to urgent care, time is of the essence—and having the right information is crucial.
That’s why renowned Southern Florida physician Dr. Bruce W. Moskowitz, M.D., P.L. developed the Emergency Medical Center Locator (EMCL) iPhone app, a free, public service app that helps you find the specialized emergency medical center closest to you—no matter where you are in the world.
Featuring only the most advanced, state-of-the-art emergency care facilities with proven track records of stellar care, the app directs you to the closest medical center in one of six specialty areas, proving accurate, reliable information that can literally make the difference between life and death.

New iPhone App Gives Radiation Exposure Info
Flying somewhere and want to find out your exposure to galactic and solar radiation? A new update to an iPhone app will let you do that.
The $1.99 “SpaceWx” app provides real-time information about exposure to radiation from solar activity and other sources from space, starting at an altitude of 16,000 feet (5 kilometers). Exposure levels are broken down by altitude and latitude, with the highest exposures typically occurring higher and farther north.
The new radiation function of the app is aimed primarily at airline pilots, flight crews and passengers.
“Aviation occupational radiation exposure currently is not consistently monitored, measured or quantified,” said Dr. Chris Mertens, a senior scientist at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. “This is the first model of its type to do that.”
Space Environment Technologies Inc. in Pacific Palisades, Calif., developed the space radiation app under the guidance of Mertens, principal investigator for the Nowcast of Atmospheric Ionizing Radiation for Aviation Safety (NAIRAS) project. Read more
New iPhone App Aims to Help Children Improve Math Skills
Parents looking to help their children improve their math scores – whether in Kindergarten or high school – need look no further than their Apple iPhone or iPod Touch. A new app by Dr. Judith Bender, who holds a Ph.D. in applied math, a design firm, and a parent with a vision, makes learning math fun!
“The concept behind MathiGo is simple: math doesn’t have to be boring and can actually be addictive” says Dr. Judith Bender. “With so much to do in school today, children don’t have enough time to practice math and they rarely enjoy it. With the MathiGo app, learning math becomes engaging and less like work – more like a challenging video game. And like a video game, it becomes something you enjoy doing.”
For only $1.99, the app challenges players to test their skills at the basic math functions. Depending on the skill level chosen, the questions can be as easy as 2+2 or something that would make even a math teacher pause to think.
“MathiGo offers different game modes and levels to keep the child’s interest level high and frustration level to a minimum,” explains Bruce Popek, of Design Innovation. “The parent or child selects the game mode, level and addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. There are 10 skill levels to allow the child to progress at their own pace.” Read more
