&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Locandina di Lisa Di Sabato&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Uno splendido invito ci giunge da &lt;a href=&quot;http://lisadisabato.blogspot.it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lisa Di Sabato&lt;/a&gt; e noi cogliamo al volo quest&#39;opportunità per partecipare al primo &quot;Gruppo di lettura di libri illustrati&quot; a Torino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
L&#39;idea del &quot;Gruppo di lettura&quot; nasce da un post sul celebre blog di Anna Castagnoli: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lefiguredeilibri.com/2009/02/24/gruppo-di-lettura-album-illustrato-unidea-da-esportare/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Le figure dei libri&quot;&lt;/a&gt; e sta prendendo piede in diverse città italiane. A Milano il gruppo esiste da più di 2 anni e dall&#39;iniziativa ne è nato persino un blog: &lt;a href=&quot;http://alle9dababar.blogspot.it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Alle nove da Babar&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Il gruppo si propone di far crescere la cultura del libro illustrato attraverso incontri che avranno cadenza mensile.&lt;br /&gt;
Agli incontri possono partecipare tutti gli appassionati di libri illustrati, la regola è semplice: basta portare un libro o albo illustrato e esporre la propria opinione a proposito agli altri membri del gruppo. Sono ben accetti interventi e impressioni dei vari partecipanti volti a costruire un dibattito sul libri presi in considerazione di volta in volta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Il primo incontro &quot;sperimentale &quot; si svolgerà il 24 Novembre presso la libreria&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ilmondodellemeraviglie.com/&quot;&gt;ll Mondo delle Meraviglie&lt;/a&gt; in Via San Massimo 53 a Torino.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tutte le informazioni riguardanti gli incontri le trovate sul &lt;a href=&quot;http://lisadisabato.blogspot.it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BLOG&lt;/a&gt; di Lisa.&lt;br /&gt;
Per qualsiasi informazione o chiarimento non esitate a contattarci o a contattare Lisa tramite e-mail o &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.addictivecolors.com/#&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;form dal sito&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Il passaparola è sempre gradito!&lt;br /&gt;

Principalmente mi sono recata ieri a questa manifestazione per assistere alla presentazione del progetto &quot;A SPASSO CON LE DITA -Alla scoperta del libro tattile&quot;. &amp;nbsp;A questa presentazione sono intervenuti &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elisalodolo.it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Elisa Lodolo&lt;/a&gt; autrice e illustratrice di libri tattili (di cui avevamo già parlato &lt;a href=&quot;http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.it/2012/04/vietato-non-sfogliare-seconda-parte.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;QUI&lt;/a&gt;),&amp;nbsp; Novella Pellegrini rappresentante della &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.enel.com/enelcuore/it-IT/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Enel Cuore Onlus&lt;/a&gt; che sponsorizza il progetto e Pietro Vecchierelli editor di libri tattili per la &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prociechi.it/fnipc/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Federazione Nazionale delle Istituzioni pro Ciechi&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;A spasso con le dita&quot; è un progetto nazionale avviato nel novembre del 2010 per distribuire gratuitamente a biblioteche e ospedali una collana di libri tattili composta da 5 libri selezionati su 200 che possono favorire l&#39;integrazione fra ragazzi ciechi, ipovedenti e vedenti. Il progetto non ha come fine la commercializzazione di questi libri, che per ragioni di materiali e fabbricazione hanno prezzi piuttosto elevati, ma più che altro si impegna a stimolare l&#39;opinione pubblica su questi argomenti e dare attenzione a questi elaborati editoriali che possono essere veramente per chiunque.&lt;br /&gt;
I libri presenti in questa collana avevamo già avuto modo di osservarli a &lt;a href=&quot;http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.it/2012/04/vietato-non-sfogliare.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Vietato NON Sfogliare&quot;&lt;/a&gt;, ieri ho avuto modo di conoscere personalmente Elisa Lodolo e capire le motivazioni che l&#39;hanno aiutata a creare il libro &quot;Soffio di vento&quot;, il quale è un invito a osservare, non solo con gli occhi, le cose belle e a soffermarci su tante cose a cui, per distrazione e mancanza di tempo, non facciamo caso.&lt;br /&gt;
Molti altri libri erano mostrati sullo schermo a fianco al palco, mentre si svolgeva la conferenza: idea molto carina ed esplicativa di come questi libri sono realizzati.&lt;br /&gt;
Finita la conferenza ho fatto un giro fra gli stand dei vari editori.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
C&#39;è veramente di tutto negli spazi dedicati al Salone del Libro, molti degli stand che si stanno adeguando alle &amp;nbsp;nuove tecnologie e propongono e-book o lettori di e-book, altri invece pongono uno sguardo al passato e ripropongono segnalibri fatti artigianalmente (dopo tutto, anche questo fa parte dei libri, e non ho potuto fare a meno di fotografare queste piccole opere d&#39;arte).&lt;br /&gt;

Altri spazi ancora sono dedicati alla... musica! C&#39;è persino qualcuno che strimpella nascosto da una pila di chitarre elettriche.&lt;br /&gt;

Io però mi sono soffermata sugli editori per libri per l&#39;infanzia, come &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.edizionilapis.it/it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Edizioni LAPIS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in cui ho trovato dei bellissimi libri illustrati come &quot;Giordano del Faro&quot; di &lt;a href=&quot;http://marinamarcolin.blogspot.it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Marina Marcolin&lt;/a&gt; e &quot;Foto di Gruppo&quot; di &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gektessaro.it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gek Tessaro&lt;/a&gt;. Poco più in là &amp;nbsp;Corraini Edizioni mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso esponendo tantissimi libri intessantissimi, molti di Bruno Munari.&lt;br /&gt;
E a proposito di Munari: ho conosciuto un artista, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eriocarnevali.net/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Erio Carnevali&lt;/a&gt;, che ha lavorato con Munari e ora continua a fare laboratori artistici con bambini, in Italia e anche all&#39;estero. Da questi laboratori è nata la collana &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eriocarnevali.net/news.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Il suono giallo&quot;&lt;/a&gt; composta da tre libri, che raccolgono molte riflessioni sull&#39;arte fatte dai bambini e ne costituiscono un percorso per la crescita intellettuale dei più giovani. Erio Carnevali è stato veramente cordiale ed è stato un piacere chiacchierare un po&#39; con lui, che nel corso degli anni ha avuto degli stimoli davvero notevoli dai riscontri che ha avuto in questi laboratori.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Erio Carnevali, pittore.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Per concludere vi lascio con una riflessione molto carina di Carnevali, se capitate al salone non vi lasciate sfuggire l&#39;occasione di farci una chiacchierata:&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot;i bambini hanno una logica tutta loro di comprendere e apprendere le cose, ognuno ha la sua e molto spesso è una logica inversa a quella che farebbe un adulto. Non è giusto che gli adulti gli impongano dei modi di pensare per esprimere un ragionamento, bisogna lasciare che si esprimano&quot;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Developing a good Universal application capable of running at its best on iPhone/iPod touch and iPad all with regular display and the retina one requires a lot of work, a non trivial part of which goes into making sure you have all the required and &quot;suggested&quot; icons available so that the application looks nice on the Home screen, on iTunes, and so on. With the new iPad and its retina display there is one more set of Icons for you to add, so other than suggesting to take a good look at the official &lt;a href=&quot;https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/Introduction/Introduction.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Human Interface Guidelines&lt;/a&gt; document I would like to provide a small table with various icons and resources you need for your app and their suggested names. The icon names are not required to always be adamantly adherent to the old naming convention on new iOS releases, but it is better if you do follow them to maximize your app&#39;s compatibility with little effort after all. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I hope you find it useful, but if you have suggestions and/or errata to report please do so in the comments, thank you :)!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have been toying with Unity 3D for a few weeks, following the decision to transition development of a game I am collaborating to a powerful and more designers friendly environment as requested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I have to give the Unity team props for the improvements in Unity 3.5 - for example the improved versioning/Git support - and for the decision to give many developer a chance to get a good look at Unity on mobile platforms by giving out licenses for Unity Basic on iOS and Android. One does not work too well right now and the other one works better than I expected.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Unity&#39;s power is not really the result from the many strong features of the engine - multiple cameras support and compositing is so powerful it&#39;s not even funny - or from the languages you can use to write code for it, but from the central editor which ties it all together.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Through custom scripts and plugins you can extend the editor and shape it just the way it suits your project best.&lt;br /&gt;

The basic workflow - this post is not intended to be a big Unity overview or a collection of Unity references, but just a way to wet your appetite so to speak - consists in adding objects to the scene and give them life through customized behaviors chosen from built-in behaviors and new ones you can write yourself with prototyping friendly languages such as JavaScript which I will talk about in a follow-up post a bit more, especially for what concerns Unity... just know that there is plenty to be happy about (classes, inheritance, performance, etc...).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Naturally, this makes it easier for pure coders, level designers, sound designers, and artists to work together and quickly iterate on the product: the coders implement the requested behaviors and exposes to the editor the right knobs and levers the designers need to tweak to test gameplay ideas. It is an environment that is quite mature under that aspect, although not nearly bug free, but as some crazy scientist told me this morning &quot;the bigger the project - the worse the tools&quot;, so I guess that the lesson to be learned here is to be glad when there are so few of them :). Jokes aside, I am glad such a versatile multiplatform engine is around and is on MacOS X too!&lt;/div&gt;

Seeing the code run on the Unity Game window is one thing, watching it 
run on device is an other experience entirely in my opinion. So, I 
wanted to see the code running on the iPhone and test a virtual joystick
 solution, but it appears that Unity still has to add support for the 
Xcode release needed to build applications for iOS 5.1 and its SDK 
(note: you must use this SDK and the latest stable release of Xcode to 
submit applications to the Apple App Store, even though the final app 
might also run on a lower iOS release). The application crashes on 
device just when it checks for the correct inclusion of the Unity splash
 screen - Unity embeds it in the application by default - which you 
cannot remove unless you purchase the Pro license. Unity checks for the 
splash screen, it does not seem to properly detect it, and triggers an 
assert.Aside from an apparently outdaded ~/.android/debug.keystore file which I manually deleted and asked Unity to re-create from scratch, getting the current build to run on Android was quite easy, but the best thing about it was that it automatically recognized the Xperia Play&#39;s hardware keypad and its D-Pad was already mapped to the Vertical and Horizontal axis so the PC code could move the character on Android without the need of any virtual joypad at all. It is pretty easy to tackle the Xperia Play controls with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.design3.com/industry-insight/item/2277-making-games-for-the-xperia%E2%84%A2-play-is-easy-on-the-unity-engine&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Unity 3D&lt;/a&gt; as you can also see from this interesting &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/02/28/xperiaplaytipsbyangrymobgames/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;blog post/tutorial&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I had not turned this handset on in a while, a bit disappointed with its performance and other hardware related annoyances (if you price a touchscreen device over $300 and do not give Guerrilla Glass level coating on top of the screen then do not release such device, please). Disappointed also because, thanks to its physical game controls, it had so much potential to be a major force in the Android gaming scene and Sony decided to throw it out there without letting it cook a bit more in the oven. Still, I am glad to be able to try the code on it and work on a solution that is able to handle both touchscreen only iOS devices as well as Android devices with or without a hardware keypad designed for games like the Xperia Play has. The game seems to run pretty well so far too.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Getting the input from the hardware buttons is simple, but detecting whether to show the virtual pad on screen or not is slightly more difficult, but not impossible thanks to the vibrant Unity community. I was able to find a good solution to detect if the keypad was present and opened and adapt it to my needs (C# --&amp;gt; JavaScript) and share it back to the community which was also helpful for me as I learned quite a few things about the Unity-Android side of things too :). You can find the Unity forum thread and the code &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/85568-Xperia-Play-Keypad-issues&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I hope you are having fun with Unity too. Have a nice day!&lt;/div&gt;

Oggi mi soffermerò sulla prima sezione della mostra, quella in cui effettivamente venivano presentati libri realizzati appositamente per facilitare l&#39;apprendimento di bambini con handicap sensoriali, motori o intellettuali: ci siamo ritrovati ad analizzare dei progetti editoriali veramente ben riusciti e volti a creare un rapporto con il lettore tutt&#39;altro che passivo, ma anzi pieno di stimoli.&lt;br /&gt;

Sono libri che, oltre a dare risposte, sanno prendere per mano il lettore e accompagnarlo, renderlo partecipe e magari stimolare in lui altre domande.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Cinque le categorie in cui si suddividevano le raccolte di libri, o per meglio dire i &quot;Villaggi da leggere&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
Nel villaggio dei libri tattili abbiamo potuto valutare il creativo utilizzo dei materiali più disparati per la rappresentazione di illustrazioni, ritmi e sensazioni percepibili non con gli occhi ma con il tatto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #45818e;&quot;&gt;I libri tattili&lt;/span&gt; sono pensati infatti per bambini con problemi di vista (ipovedenti o non-vedenti) che quindi sono stimolati ad utilizzare il tatto per esplorare e comprendere il mondo che li circonda.&lt;br /&gt;
Questi libri sono spesso cartonati ad anelli sui quali vengono applicati materiali morbidi, ruvidi, lisci, frastagliati o addirittura pelosi che svolgono la funzione di media per la narrazione della storia, ovviamente il testo è riportato anche in linguaggio braille a fronte di ogni illustrazione. Purtroppo la realizzazione di questi libri è molto costosa per cui in Italia gli editori che sono interessati alla diffusione di queste opere sono ancora pochi.&lt;br /&gt;
I libri tattili che a noi, AddictiveColors, sono piaciuti di più sono stati &lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2190&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Soffio di Vento&quot;&lt;/a&gt; di&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elisalodolo.it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Elisa Lodolo&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2189&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Ho un po&#39; paura&quot;&lt;/a&gt; di Laure Constantin. Di entrambi forse la cosa che ci ha colpito maggiormente è stato il contenuto del quale i due libri parlavano e il metodo narrativo.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Soffio di Vento&quot; è il racconto di una sensazione, di un soffio di vento appunto, fatto di fili di lana che nascono da una nuvola e proseguono pagina per pagina senza mai interrompersi attraverso il cielo, le fronde degli alberi fino ad accarezzare una fronte di un volto sorridente.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Ho un po&#39; paura&quot; affronta invece le paure e insicurezze a cui un bambino non vedente deve far fronte ogni giorno: fare le scale, rumori improvvisi, il suolo instabile; &amp;nbsp;ma &amp;nbsp;per ogni paura affrontata c&#39;è anche un&#39;esperienza positiva, che sia essa un gioco o l&#39;affetto di mamma e papà. Un libro che fa riflettere e cambiare i propri punti di vista.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Audiolibri&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #45818e;&quot;&gt;Gli audiolibri&lt;/span&gt; invece non sono libri cartacei, ma racchiudono l&#39;essenza vera del libro, ovvero la storia attraverso una narrazione registrata a volte anche da veri e propri attori. Mi sembra riduttivo parlare di audiolibri solo per non-vedenti: in realtà gli audiolibri sono un mezzo che sta prendendo semprep più piede anche grazie alle nuove tecnologie, che permettono di portare senza troppo ingombro il libro che stiamo &amp;nbsp;&lt;strike&gt;leggendo&lt;/strike&gt; ascoltando sempre con noi. A parte il piacere, non trascurabile, di leggere con il proprio ritmo e la propria interpretazione i libri stampati, non vedo perché questi audiolibri non possano essere apprezzati da chiunque abbia voglia ogni tanto di ascoltare l&#39;interpretazione di un libro, magari da un grande attore come Neri Marcoré.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #45818e;&quot;&gt;I libri in LIS&lt;/span&gt;, ovvero la Lingua Italiana dei Segni aiutano apprendimento di questo linguaggio gestuale utilizzato dai sordomuti. I libri che abbiamo visto fondamentalmente erano dei glossari suddivisi per argomenti in cui veniva rappresentata la parola in questione da una parte con un&#39;illustrazione e dall&#39;altra con un&#39;immagine di un bambino che mimava il gesto accostato alla parola scritta in più lingue.&lt;br /&gt;
Per questa tipologia di libro-glossario illustrato, abbiamo trovato due libricini dalle illustrazioni essenziali ma molto graziose: &lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2196&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Colori&quot;&lt;/a&gt; di Marilù Eustachio e &lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2198&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Animali&quot;&lt;/a&gt; di Herbert Nauderer.&lt;br /&gt;

Ma ci sono anche altri tipi di libri come il &lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2203&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pinocchio&lt;/a&gt; di Maria Michela Sebastiani e Emanuela Valenzano, con illustrazioni di Lisa Farris, che supportano il bambino sordo-muto anche nella comprensione del testo scritto, sottolineando visivamente le relazioni tra vari elementi grammaticali quali soggetti, aggettivi possessivi o complementi oggetto.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Un &quot;Pinocchio&quot; molto logico.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
A noi questo libro è piaciuto per lo stimolo che attraverso i simboli può portare all&#39;analisi logica di un testo, utile dunque anche per lo studio della grammatica in senso generale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Pela la mela e bela&quot; testo ad alta leggibilità.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #45818e;&quot;&gt;I libri ad alta leggibilità&lt;/span&gt; hanno caratteri grandi e degli spazi tra le parole molto ampi in modo che le parole risultino più facili da leggere e le righe siano più corte per chi ha problemi di vista o di apprendimento.&lt;br /&gt;
La nostra attenzione per questa categoria è andata al libro &lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2269&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Pela la mela e bela&quot;&lt;/a&gt; di Monica Aga Rossi e Federica Crovetti, con illustrazioni di Elena Baboni, un libro divertente e pieno di giochi di parole e di assonanze, ma questo lo si capisce già dal titolo, che può aiutare i bambini con disturbi fonologici in maniera simpatica e scherzosa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwzRQOqdO4hSuLls1wStK8dcOYseCl_yzkh0D5fGVMF6yd0WxnIDMn9zTbAzOToAd2I8q6iglvw9pbJHB90VUKuv7yfAuN__c8k5d-mJwjQuAXQ1MG_h0U4u4DAskez0AhcebvOhVsdBUr/s1600/Libro_CAA2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwzRQOqdO4hSuLls1wStK8dcOYseCl_yzkh0D5fGVMF6yd0WxnIDMn9zTbAzOToAd2I8q6iglvw9pbJHB90VUKuv7yfAuN__c8k5d-mJwjQuAXQ1MG_h0U4u4DAskez0AhcebvOhVsdBUr/s320/Libro_CAA2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Nicola a modo suo&quot; in CAA&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
E per ultimi, ma non ultimi:&lt;span style=&quot;color: #45818e;&quot;&gt; i libri in CAA (Comunicazione Aumentativa e Alternativa)&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Chi ha letto &quot;Lo strano caso del cane ucciso a mezza notte&quot; sa che i bambini autistici hanno bisogno di avere dei riferimenti grafici per comprendere determinati sentimenti (proprio come le emoticon :) = felice), o per focalizzare meglio i personaggi di una storia, i &amp;nbsp;libri in CAA accostano alle parole del testo dei riquadri con piccole illustrazioni grafiche coi quali vengono rappresentate le parole.&lt;br /&gt;
Ad ogni parola corrisponde un simbolo in modo che se un personaggio è ricorrente nella storia sarà più facilmente identificato utilizzando sempre lo stesso simbolo. &lt;br /&gt;
Tra questi libri troviamo&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2214&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Nicola a modo suo&quot; &lt;/a&gt;scritto da Guido Quarzo e illustrato da Orietta Brombin,&amp;nbsp;un racconto che aiuta a stimolare dinamiche relazionali e identificative, tra il lettore e il protagonista della storia, Nicola.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;I tre porcellini&quot; in CAA&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Ma ci sono anche favole classiche come &lt;a href=&quot;http://dito.areato.org/home/?p=2204&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Cappuccetto Rosso&quot;&lt;/a&gt;(illustrato da Peppo Bianchessi) e &quot;I tre Porcellini (illustrato da Matteo Gubellini) entrambi curati da Enza Crivelli ed editi da UovoNero in una rilegatura molto particolare: con pagine in cartonato spesso, e con una forma che va a decrescere sugli angoli inferiori dalle prime alle ultime pagine, chi ha problemi motori può agevolmente tenere il libro e sfogliarlo. Un&#39;idea veramente furba!&lt;br /&gt;
Ma come avrete capito di idee veramente furbe e creative ne abbiamo portate a casa parecchie, certe sono state delle vere e proprie scoperte, mentre altre un modo di vedere le cose con un&#39;altra prospettiva, in ogni caso: un&#39;esperienza molto stimolante che, se verrà ripetuta, consigliamo a tutti!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.com/feeds/537434107127038855/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.com/2012/04/vietato-non-sfogliare-seconda-parte.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4613893407418958368/posts/default/537434107127038855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4613893407418958368/posts/default/537434107127038855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.com/2012/04/vietato-non-sfogliare-seconda-parte.html' title='Vietato NON sfogliare -seconda parte'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZivZfUtfjrhecKPOO1AsCbkNpbm-Pz-NN92827PI8aj7a-JVZvn_-Jfx-cXnGe0WmykpbPw_jEP0SwvGWfE7cJMmbvWswp7G5yfEQG-ri9f2CzP97ov4040XHZOdHxDQ0MuWqYdwCOtVh/s72-c/Libri_Mostra.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893407418958368.post-8163886835656907307</id><published>2012-04-10T07:30:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2012-04-13T17:28:37.873+02:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Android"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ENG"/><title type='text'>Android Developers Blog: A Faster Emulator with Better Hardware Support</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://android-developers.blogspot.it/2012/04/faster-emulator-with-better-hardware.html?m=1&quot;&gt;Android Developers Blog: A Faster Emulator with Better Hardware Support&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.com/feeds/8163886835656907307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.com/2012/04/android-developers-blog-faster-emulator.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4613893407418958368/posts/default/8163886835656907307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4613893407418958368/posts/default/8163886835656907307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.com/2012/04/android-developers-blog-faster-emulator.html' title='Android Developers Blog: A Faster Emulator with Better Hardware Support'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02251877427878129432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893407418958368.post-3330876008075566953</id><published>2012-04-08T20:17:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2012-04-11T14:37:01.199+02:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="AddictiveColors"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Audio"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ENG"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Chrome"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="HTML5"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="JavaScript"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mozilla Firefox"/><title type='text'>Firefox, advancing the free web forward</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The &quot;future&quot; of the web.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modern web is quite exciting for users and developers alike. For those of us who actually started with &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_%28web_browser%29&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NCSA Mosaic&lt;/a&gt; and similar browsers (and even browsed the web with Dos browsers such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachne_%28web_browser%29&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Arachne&lt;/a&gt;) or text based browsers, the modern web is an amazing leap forward we probably would have billed as a futuristic pipe-dream.&lt;br /&gt;
Web browsers are becoming little Operative Systems with threading support, 3D and 2D Hardware acceleration, 3D graphics support, interactive 2D canvas the web application can draw on, real-time audio processing, local data storage, asynchronous data transfer, etc... all with the help of open standards and the power of their embedded JavaScript engines allowing more and more versatile and dynamic elements to power the web (and more, see Unity 3D).&lt;br /&gt;
Users tend to load many web pages at once, they like to multi-task a lot and run heavier sites than they might give them credit for, so it is very important for web browsers to be faster, consume less memory, and offer better features for web designers willing to implement the modern audio and video tags for example.&lt;br /&gt;
Mozilla is doing a wonderful job in both the execution of this mandate and in involving users in the process by creating various powerful initiative that help you keep track of the progress done in all of those areas:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Although I agree that &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.comcast.net/%7Etom_forsyth/blog.wiki.html#[[Premultiplied%20alpha]]&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;premultiplied alpha&lt;/a&gt; is getting to be some sort of &quot;thing you do, even without an alpha channel&quot;, it can make your life easier or in this case visualize PNG data into the Unity editor right. The following picture and related caption, illustrate a problem when alpha and blending are not working along right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/11252&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Image taken from Cocos2D&#39;s forums&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Without going too far into premultiplied alpha, the &lt;span id=&quot;goog_2142217192&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;blog&lt;span id=&quot;goog_2142217193&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I linked to - from the great &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.comcast.net/%7Etom_forsyth/blog.wiki.html#[[Premultiplied%20alpha]]&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tom Forsyth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; -&amp;nbsp; will tell you everything you might want to know and more about the advanced reasons why you should use premultiplied alpha, but essentially in a pre-multiplied alpha pipeline, all source images have thier RGB color channels multiplied by their alpha component when they are either imported or loaded and before they are used. As you might have read, this has important implications far beyond changing arguments in the default blending equation (SRC_ALPHA * SRC_RGB + (1-SRC_ALPHA) * DST_RGB --&amp;gt; GL_ONE * SRC_RGB + (1-SRC_ALPHA)*DST_RGB).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unity by default does not play around with your PNG unlike for example Xcode which, following good Apple tradition, thinks it knows better than you do... truth to be told it is right in this case for example when it decides PNG&#39;s should be premultiplied and go through pngcrush (the last thing might be up for debate). Unity does not seem to be able to make up his mind about what kind of alpha set-up it likes best so you have the images looking all wrong in the preview window inside the inspector (well, the alpha portion of it does) while fine luckily in the game scene and in the scene editor where it actually counts.&lt;br /&gt;
If you edit the default ex2D (popular Unity toolkit for 2D graphics management) shader and change the blending equation to be premultiplied alpha based you will see the game window and the scene editor with alpha issues. What to do? Well, to our help a nice developer called &lt;b&gt;maxme&lt;/b&gt; developed a nice little Python and C based utility that converts PNG&#39;s into premultiplied ones if they need to be changed. You can find his github page &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/maxme/PNG-Alpha-Premultiplier&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. You can then use a bash script or an &lt;a href=&quot;http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.com/2011/11/scripting-fun-with-automator.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Automator action&lt;/a&gt; if you run MacOS X to quickly edit your files and apply alpha premultiplication if they have not been premultiplied yet.&lt;br /&gt;
To go back to the linked Automator scripting fun we talked about quite a while ago, here is the script you would run to actually convert the PNG (assuming you have copied, su cp, the compiled C script into /usr/bin/):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
for f in &quot;$@&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
do&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; echo $(dirname &quot;$f&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; cd $(dirname &quot;$f&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; echo &quot;Premultipling alpha&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; /usr/bin/NPMApng2PMApng &quot;$f&quot; &quot;$f&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
done&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The result is the following nice Unity&#39;s Inspector pane --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFN4pcaoDOjbebZIicZmbPwhwuGTE01_AYWw7Yg4-xWg-lxV6UWZQpJX5NZln-eElmQYI40CNd9340gmS1ydn5ic-sp9B0MFCOfmHykM7hzlGkraykbWW_89VGYozZjG8vyK2wnICevxSx/s1600/Sfogliare_06.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFN4pcaoDOjbebZIicZmbPwhwuGTE01_AYWw7Yg4-xWg-lxV6UWZQpJX5NZln-eElmQYI40CNd9340gmS1ydn5ic-sp9B0MFCOfmHykM7hzlGkraykbWW_89VGYozZjG8vyK2wnICevxSx/s320/Sfogliare_06.jpg&quot; width=&quot;142&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Si conclude oggi la mostra &quot;Vietato NON sfogliare&quot;, allestita all&#39;Archivio di Stato di Torino, in piazza Castello 209.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Con
 grande rammarico siamo venuti a conoscenza di questa esposizione 
solamente due giorni fa e siamo riusciti a visitarla giusto ieri, quando
 ormai i workshop e le altre iniziative correlate alla mostra erano già 
finite. Riportiamo comunque qui le nostre impressioni sperando di far 
conoscere questa iniziativa a chi non ha potuto visitare la mostra.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Vietato NON sfogliare&quot; è una mostra sui libri per bambini disabili organizzata da &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.areato.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Area Onlus&lt;/a&gt;, un&#39;associazione che si occupa ormai da alcuni anni di valorizzare linguaggi 
artistici come strumenti istruttivi e di scambio fra bambini disabili e non.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La
 mostra era rivolta ad un pubblico molto ampio: dagli allievi delle 
scuole elementari, a studenti e docenti di diverse facoltà umanistiche, a
 volontari ed educatori, e a chiunque fosse interessato a queste realtà e
 a questi strumenti di apprendimento.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In effetti la mostra comprendeva diverse aree nelle quali sono stati sviluppati libri adatti a molte esigenze che non si trovano molto facilmente nelle librerie e di cui non si parla spesso.&lt;br /&gt;
Per
 noi è stata una vera e propria scoperta &quot;addentrarci&quot; fra questi 
particolari modi di narrare storie, oltre che uno stimolo per 
comprendere e sviluppare progetti altamente interattivi.&lt;br /&gt;
L&#39;interattività
 infatti è uno dei principi chiave, oltre alla creatività, con la quale 
vengono realizzati questi libri, che ci siamo accorti possono essere 
un&#39;interessante stimolo per chiunque.&lt;br /&gt;
L&#39;allestimento era suddiviso in tre distinte aree espositive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6DtBKiVNMLQRRmx1AAN2s0GkmA0dozy5Vg2o7d8dLk616at5gkXMWoM9lW1-635vxMR1fVKlzH1yI1hnozowEqZmQHBkp-HitLk8vvXQjZH8RwBw6hzKxk5SkeU0vkJPKY56Tv9Oulzlu/s1600/Sfogliare_05.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;293&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6DtBKiVNMLQRRmx1AAN2s0GkmA0dozy5Vg2o7d8dLk616at5gkXMWoM9lW1-635vxMR1fVKlzH1yI1hnozowEqZmQHBkp-HitLk8vvXQjZH8RwBw6hzKxk5SkeU0vkJPKY56Tv9Oulzlu/s400/Sfogliare_05.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
La prima sala presentava una selezione significativi di libri per bambini con disabilità sensoriali, motorie ed intellettuali.&lt;br /&gt;
Il percorso si snodava attraverso piccoli &quot;Villaggi da leggere&quot; Ogni
 libro era aperto &amp;nbsp;a mo&#39; di tetto 
su scatole-casette all&#39;interno delle 
quali si poteva trovare la scheda del libro che si andava a sfogliare. I
 libri erano divisi in cinque categorie:&lt;br /&gt;
-Libri Tattili (per ipovedenti e non-vedenti)&lt;br /&gt;
-Libri in LIS (Lingua Italiana dei Segni)&lt;br /&gt;
-Libri ad Alta  Leggibilità (per chi ha problemi di vista o di apprendimento)&lt;br /&gt;
-Libri in CAA (Comunicazione Aumentativa e Alternativa, per chi ha problemi nella comunicazione come nell&#39;autismo)&lt;br /&gt;
-Audiolibri (per non-vedenti)Preferisco dedicare un post a parte per spiegare le tecniche 
utilizzate per ciascuna di queste categorie: ci sono veramente molte 
considerazioni da fare a riguardo!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;La seconda sezione comprendeva storie e albi illustrati che 
parlavano di disabilità e diversità in senso più ampio. 
L&#39;allestimento di questi libri aveva come tema un filo rosso sul quale i
 libri venivano appesi. Il filo come simbolo di collegamento e 
condivisione della vita affettiva e delle esperienze che i bambini 
disabili protagonisti di queste storie vivono nel loro quotidiano.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkBqFuJagFW1mJ04fsDSXr9HG7Q9xR5sIaSJCgjdsa70cGdQnMvdhnrvOVQ2p3ZeVZTyARBvB7bWA0IfOEPBvI5OTHu9F8D81iuhjRiC5mDXXEMYS_ZO390gMkOg0bPtI1Xnh-fijxCJrM/s1600/Sfogliare_03.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkBqFuJagFW1mJ04fsDSXr9HG7Q9xR5sIaSJCgjdsa70cGdQnMvdhnrvOVQ2p3ZeVZTyARBvB7bWA0IfOEPBvI5OTHu9F8D81iuhjRiC5mDXXEMYS_ZO390gMkOg0bPtI1Xnh-fijxCJrM/s400/Sfogliare_03.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
In questo spazio dedicato alla condivisione, sono stati 
posizionati anche diversi tavolini dotati di fogli e pennarelli affinché 
le scolaresche in visita alla mostra potessero lasciare impressioni e 
pensieri attraverso disegni, le opere dei bambini sono state successivamente appese in sala mediante un altro filo 
rosso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmpPTUs_pgsiTYsXQfkPoVAd_Mt71UlvWSrGjbkfHNsMzcbKtNF-cHf87Apcggekjb2MEYdbY9LQLy_NwVddnKPwNECc9TqDXVDZSrcYYCVzVPXgWJXHeFYQ1nDk83Ce9N5BE3YQCIzS8/s1600/Sfogliare_02.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmpPTUs_pgsiTYsXQfkPoVAd_Mt71UlvWSrGjbkfHNsMzcbKtNF-cHf87Apcggekjb2MEYdbY9LQLy_NwVddnKPwNECc9TqDXVDZSrcYYCVzVPXgWJXHeFYQ1nDk83Ce9N5BE3YQCIzS8/s400/Sfogliare_02.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
L&#39;ultima sezione era dedicata ai progetti che in qualche modo hanno fatto la storia dei libri per disabili.&lt;br /&gt;
Quattro ampie vetrine ospitavano gli &quot;antenati&quot; dei libri presentati in mostra, ovvero i primi progetti che nel passato hanno iniziato a diversificarsi dalla letteratura classica, volta quasi esclusivamente ad un pubblico adulto, per occuparsi di necessità differenti e per l&#39;apprendimento del pubblico infantile.&lt;br /&gt;
Come non citare in questa evoluzione i Prelibri di &amp;nbsp;Bruno Munari: veri e propri strumenti per l&#39;apprendimento, lo sviluppo sensoriale e la condivisione di esperienze che dal 1980 hanno dato l&#39;imput a diversi altri progetti per avvicinare i bambini ai libri.&lt;br /&gt;

La necessità di rinnovarsi per poter stare al passo con la crescente distribuzione digitale, sta forse prodcendo nuovi stimoli per l&#39;editoria tradizionale.&lt;br /&gt;
Da qui anche l&#39;intraprendenza di alcuni grandi editori di rinnovare la grafica di alcuni classici conosciuti in tutto il mondo. Se è vero che i Classici sono intramontabili, è anche vero che l&#39;approccio alla lettura per i giovani necessita sempre di nuovi stimoli. Vi presentiamo quello che per noi sono state delle vere e proprie ventate di freschezza, il cui comune denominatore resta sempre la semplicità. &lt;br /&gt;

Il progetto grafico e le illustrazioni sono di Andrea Geremia. Si gioca con il contrasto delle forme piene e vuote e dei colori forti stampati su copertina rigida e trama di tessuto che riportano all&#39;idea delle rilegature antiche e preziose, ma restano attuali per la semplicità grafica.&lt;/div&gt;

Si è ormai concluso l&#39;appuntamento annuale con la &lt;a href=&quot;http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.it/2012/03/un-giorno-di-fiera.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bologna Children&#39;s Book Fair&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Come ogni anno sono stati proclamati i vincitori del premio BolognaRagazzi Award, ma quest&#39;anno, come abbiamo già avuto modo di dire nei precedenti &lt;a href=&quot;http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.it/2012/03/list-of-participating-works-2012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;, si è svolta una competizione anche fra le opere digitali destinate al mercato delle Applicazioni.&lt;br /&gt;
Sebbene sia stata la prima edizione di questa iniziativa, &amp;nbsp;hanno partecipato ben &amp;nbsp;252 applicazioni, di 179 editori provenienti da 25 paesi differenti.&lt;br /&gt;
Dopo aver annunciato una ventina di finalisti, nei giorni immediatamente precedenti alla Fiera, è stata &amp;nbsp;finalmente proclamata l&#39;app vincitrive:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etoiles-editions.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dans mon  rêve&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, e-Toiles Editions -  France&lt;br /&gt;
e due menzioni speciali:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/numberlys/id491546935?mt=8&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The  Numberlys&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; by Moonbot Studios - USA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quem soltou o pum?&lt;/strong&gt; Amendments Editora Schwarz -  Brasil&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Purtroppo non abbiamo trovato le motivazioni della giuria riguardanti la scelta di queste premiazioni: probabilmente per un premio appena istituito va dato un po&#39; di tempo per il &quot;rodaggio organizzativo&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
Ci sono però buone speranze che questa iniziativa sia ripetuta negli anni avvenire e come abbiamo già detto, da partecipanti a questa prima edizione,&amp;nbsp;non può che farci piacere.&lt;br /&gt;

Quest&#39;anno, come abbiamo già detto &lt;a href=&quot;http://pocketboyapp.blogspot.it/2012/03/list-of-participating-works-2012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;QUI&lt;/a&gt;, AddictiveColors ha partecipato alla Children&#39;s Book Fair di Bologna. Ci siamo concessi un giorno di vacanza per andare a curiosare fra stand, editori, agenti e naturalmente illustratori.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
La giornata è stata parecchio intensa anche se nostro malgrado non siamo riusciti a seguire le conferenze che ci interessavano maggiormente, cioè quelle sulle nuove tecnologie e i libri interattivi: gli spazi a disposizione per le conferenze erano veramente circoscritti e non siamo riusciti ad accaparrarci neppure un posticino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVJqPIlB-5oKurRUN0pbWoMIeAWct8qZCzDLM-ph7Fua0S0i05SuPjixrcp9anZxxyYQuBpmsks08ALD3RZazqu_gLJIF84L4hWiTi64gWqKSbhqEHXtE18yrSfJxauLD171MxkhnrboTO/s1600/BolognaFair_04.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;246&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVJqPIlB-5oKurRUN0pbWoMIeAWct8qZCzDLM-ph7Fua0S0i05SuPjixrcp9anZxxyYQuBpmsks08ALD3RZazqu_gLJIF84L4hWiTi64gWqKSbhqEHXtE18yrSfJxauLD171MxkhnrboTO/s400/BolognaFair_04.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abbiamo dunque preferito esplorare l&#39;ambiente fieristico già abbastanza esteso per chi visita la fiera per la prima volta. Per ospitare gli stand degli editori provenienti da tutto il mondo la fiera si snoda in 4 padiglioni a dir poco enormi, più un padiglione di accoglienza che racchiude il Caffè degli illustratori, l&#39;esposizione delle opere selezionate, l&#39;area dedicata al paese ospite e il leggendario &quot;muro del pianto&quot; in cui ogni illustratore può attaccare poster, disegni, cartoline e biglietti da visita per pubblicizzare la sua arte.&lt;br /&gt;
Anche noi ovviamente abbiamo lasciato un po&#39; di cartoline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Il paese ospitato quest&#39;anno è il Portogallo: l&#39;area dedicata agli illustratori portoghesi è stata allestita con delle &quot;valigette&quot; rosse contenenti le illustrazioni e un muro decorato con ciliegie, sullo stesso tono, che delimitava l&#39;area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Nel complesso è stata una gita molto piacevole e stimolante.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chiudo il post con una classifica del tutto personale degli Illustratori selezionati quest&#39;anno di cui di cui ho apprezzato maggiormente le opere:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

1)Park Sae Young, per il tratto pittorico, la semplicità e l&#39;espressività della composizione.&lt;br /&gt;

2)Sabien Clement, per la purezza delle forme e il gioco &quot;pieno-vuoto&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Some of you might already know the full details of this new Sony initiative (even though this Cocos2D inspired library might have slipped by too quietly), but if I had to make a short summary for the developers not working on iOS and Apple&#39;s tools (Xcode and Interface Builder), I would say... &quot;somebody who cares about games and UI&#39;s landed on Android&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Albeit with the sacrifice of not allowing native code and being currently forced to use a Garbage Collected programming language and runtime (with the non deterministic stalls it brings with it), I have to admit that Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) has developed something special and with so much potential to be a game changer on Android as well as other devices particularly thanks to the higher and higher performance improvements each new model introduces. Something can be done on multi-core devices to reduce the performance issue with a Virtual Machine and a Garbage Collector for example.&lt;br /&gt;
Unless you have a pretty much standardized architecture approach like Apple has with its iOS devices though, letting developers play with native resources or require specialized code for each supported device and its &quot;quirks&quot; has some very negative effects on how portable that codebase is and when you have to deal with OS and API fragmentation and wildly inconsistent performance characteristics this becomes an even bigger issue for developers, especially smaller studios. Sure, &quot;breakneck pace of innovation&quot; is an often used word to deal with Android OS&#39;s development, but I personally also hear &quot;fragmentation, fragmentation, fragmentation&quot;, I hear &quot;good luck finding &lt;b&gt;enough&lt;/b&gt; actual devices running that OS version and allowing you to fully use those new API&#39;s&quot;, and I hear &quot;cannot stop fixing all bugs, gotta work on a new feature now&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;

Sony decided to approach the problem
 of advanced portable games and applications from all angles: portable 
Virtual Machine (&lt;b&gt;Mono.Net&lt;/b&gt;) + high level programming language (&lt;b&gt;C#&lt;/b&gt;) + brand new tools (custom &lt;b&gt;MonoDevelop&lt;/b&gt; IDE release, new &lt;b&gt;UI layout tool&lt;/b&gt;) +&lt;b&gt; game optimized frameworks&lt;/b&gt; and system API&#39;s + &lt;b&gt;new UI software stack&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
I have got to say that it seems they have looked long and hard at what 
the problems were, what tools are currently best in class at attacking 
them, and decided to use this accumulated knowledge to shape this new 
platform&#39;s DNA.&lt;br /&gt;

It is the first time since the PlayStation 2 Linux program that I see SCE this much dedicated to an open source initiative that widens the reach of PlayStation platforms (and it is not limited to them) beyond the closed circle of large professional studios. Even before killing it due to security concerns and the cost of maintaining such an effort with a relatively low Return On Investment, the Linux efforts on PS3 seemed really incomplete. Beyond a neat platform to help developers learn how to use the CELL processor and test code quickly on it, I really saw little done with that platform that interested me and Sony did not seem interested in allowing the community to do much more with it either. &lt;br /&gt;
Along with a pretty nice list of high level and lower level components, covering things such as Audio processing, gamepad and touchscreen handling, motion API&#39;s, etc... I was very impressed to see what they are offering (all open source too) to game developers coming from other platforms, namely all the developers already experienced with a kick-ass first-in-class 2D framework such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cocos2D&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When I think about a portable 2D framework inspired by Cocos2D and specifically conceptually similar API-wise to Cocos2D, I am not happy just because it is a good framework and a framework I have been accumulating more and more experience with, but because of the awesome tools and open source middleware that the Cocos2D community has built so far. I am especially excited about the possibility for Cocos2D to be ported to PS Suite and for awesome tools such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spritehelper.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sprite Helper&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.levelhelper.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Level Helper&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mapeditor.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tiled&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.texturepacker.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Texture Packer to&lt;/a&gt; help developers create amazing content on PS Suite too.&lt;br /&gt;

Let&#39;s be frank, I know I am always full of praise for those tools, but I believe one of the biggest challenging in making a game is the content pipeline: getting the contents produced by the artist to shine on device and allow the level designer to quickly test his or her ideas inside the game is a task these tools do provide a massive help with. We developers are constantly asking for more though and it is nice to see their authors so engaged with their software and the community around it.&lt;br /&gt;

The past few weeks, I have talked about colors, stroke, and techniques, but one of the most important things to make a great drawing is... how you put all them together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgpl2r0Uie1g8b330tYd92nDdzgnyZMCAw45eoNRVp3STRtqMA_9_oj4wJ4j8bqLXOVpIypleIddiyPQlr5wb1msdeGVNcGpsqSK9zJCT6oGo3in3T82gOwlUVtgE2dChJ1_z7yGie-CE/s400/multi+1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;226&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgpl2r0Uie1g8b330tYd92nDdzgnyZMCAw45eoNRVp3STRtqMA_9_oj4wJ4j8bqLXOVpIypleIddiyPQlr5wb1msdeGVNcGpsqSK9zJCT6oGo3in3T82gOwlUVtgE2dChJ1_z7yGie-CE/s320/multi+1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Illustration by Charley Harper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It happens to draw something technically perfect, right colors, clean strokes, but... there is something that feels wrong: the elements you have drawn do not stand out as you would want them to or they are too densely packed in a particular area and too sparse on other parts. Basically, there is a layout problem, but there are some rules which can help you out here too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely important to focus and analyze three aspects of your composition: &lt;b&gt;position&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;size&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;weight&lt;/b&gt;. Before doing that, we need to step back a bit and consider what a composition element is. Essentially, anything inside your drawing is a unique &quot;element&quot; of its layout: from the main subject to its parts and the decoration items.&lt;br /&gt;
On a limited surface like the one available on a normal piece of paper or a painting canvas, our eye will inevitably focus on some specific parts of the surface even though you might be able to see the entire thing at once. So, it is key that you place the important composition elements exactly in those spots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiknaazL7u3tQZt25TYTguTKW_OPBqIuv0dqMfKfw-3HUeEfvHgXtBSn_1R7pK61HTVkXYAWjYxRtPLyDAaOfQVSaiItp4kck5XFornW8SbpAps1jY5hTtWmWxq2anlr2AZ6mAD_daEPa0/s400/Harper+Aphid001.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiknaazL7u3tQZt25TYTguTKW_OPBqIuv0dqMfKfw-3HUeEfvHgXtBSn_1R7pK61HTVkXYAWjYxRtPLyDAaOfQVSaiItp4kck5XFornW8SbpAps1jY5hTtWmWxq2anlr2AZ6mAD_daEPa0/s320/Harper+Aphid001.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Perfect&amp;nbsp;symmetry&amp;nbsp;on every axis. The insect in the middle is the focus of the composition: the only one that can unblock the situation (Illustration by Charlie Harper)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can usually find the first focus point by tracing the space&#39;s median lines: our brain is naturally attracted by symmetries, so any element placed on an axis of symmetry will appear to be more important than other ones. If you plan a symmetrical composition, the middle of the drawing will be the key focus point and the composition will tend to have more of a static look.&lt;br /&gt;
A more dynamic layout will occur if you place your elements across diagonal lines and even more if you occasionally break the painting&#39;s own symmetry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Little Red Riding Hood breaks the repetition of elements and their symmetrical placement. (Illustration by&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Charley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Harper)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another interesting area our eyes will tend to focus on is the horizontal strip you obtain if you divide the drawing in three parts with parallel lines, especially if we place them horizontally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://theharpsterhome.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/charley-harper.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://theharpsterhome.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/charley-harper.jpg&quot; width=&quot;301&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The Little Owls&#39; eyes are situated above the imaginary ~2/3 line, their feet are in the lower part of the image, while the white vertical lines help to bring our attention to the menacing eyes of their parents and away from their eggs (Illustration by&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Charley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Harper)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try watching a close-up in a movie, if you pay attention to it you will notice that, if the movie has a decent photography of course, that 2/3 line is the line along which the character&#39;s eyes sit on.&lt;br /&gt;
The mouth will of course be placed on the opposite line (the first one and the one marking the first third of the image). You will have to agree that such element is quite essential to communicate, right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The little red bird rises above the seeds around it even though some of them are almost as big as he is, but we do not notice it at first sight usually. (Illustrazione di Charley Harper)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;size&lt;/b&gt; of each element can drawn our attention too, of course, if we talk about something being big compared to the space available on the sheet of paper and in which perspective can take a leading role making a small mice on the foreground look as big as an elefant.&lt;br /&gt;
It might appear to be an obvious statement, but it is not a given that a small element can stand out more than a ten times bigger one if it feels &lt;b&gt;heavier&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Here the red bird is close to the other ones in size, but stands out the most thanks to the way it has been colored, but it is also the most static element of the layout because it sits at the center of the image and appears much more&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;symmetric. (Illustration by&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Charley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Harper)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The &lt;b&gt;weight &lt;/b&gt;in this case results from the color of the bird, by the contrast with the background and by its brightness and/or saturation. You have to also consider that there are more &quot;active&quot; colors than others and which draw our attention the most. A common example would be the color red, a color which stands for excitement, but you could also talk about blue which is linked to calm and reflective thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;
So, in order to balance our layout better, it will be necessary for us to be careful when we place big or heavy elements in our layout, making sure that there is a large group of small elements placed on the opposite side of the drawing. This is one of the steps you should take to help the layout be as balanced as possible which is extremely important.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.neublack.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/charley-harper-prints.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;216&quot; src=&quot;http://www.neublack.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/charley-harper-prints.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The bright color and the waves around the leaf help it stand out and to provide balance to the darker and more fragmented lobsters on the opposite side. (Illustration by Charley Harper)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to make following these rules as effortless and &amp;nbsp;as natural as possible, it would be a good exercise for you to practice with as many images as you can: illustrations, paintings, photographs, and as I said particular sequences in movies too. You will find that nice and well realized images will always show a certain relation between its building blocks and will follow the rules I mentioned here.&lt;br /&gt;
The pictures I have used in this tutorial come from Charley Harper&#39;s works, an illustration genius born in the United States of America who developed clear and well organized illustrations composed by simple very well balanced shapes and which help us see the use of these layout rules well.&lt;br /&gt;

 so often, new electronics products enter the market and when the 
product refresh cycle is usually in the 5-6 years range the change from 
the previous generation to the new one is usually a big deal. &lt;br /&gt;
The
 recent launch of PlayStation Vita, the brand new handheld gaming 
console from Sony, is quite a big gaming event for me due to the 
strength and versatility of the device, but it also gave me one chance 
to sit back and think about an aspect of modern products many people 
still take for granted even here in Europe where the problem should be 
much more apparent: packaging and paper waste. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Let&#39;s start with the console box: 
we have our usual &quot;get up to speed with/what&#39;s new&quot; leaflets, warranty, 
and not much in terms of manuals. Sony quite wisely preferred to let you
 the user take advantage of the console&#39;s built-in web browser to read 
the manual online. So far so good you&#39;d say, but &quot;not so fast&quot; I would promptly answer back. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0QQrqM07iT_UA1DlQkNSuWjN1aNGlZrAueCK6iP4ehbnwUAUhj-f6SuMznyVkrkyQq3pVRHKlGyyNx8AJ2yOrbVUBBiBJhZEXqqKIE4J32_9C-tl8qyKb3c7-Y27BJZBwAWvHMaBx69u/s1600/Uncharted-PS-Vita-Case.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;212&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0QQrqM07iT_UA1DlQkNSuWjN1aNGlZrAueCK6iP4ehbnwUAUhj-f6SuMznyVkrkyQq3pVRHKlGyyNx8AJ2yOrbVUBBiBJhZEXqqKIE4J32_9C-tl8qyKb3c7-Y27BJZBwAWvHMaBx69u/s320/Uncharted-PS-Vita-Case.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;PS Vita® games come in tiny cartridges and not 
optical discs anymore, so it is a good thing that they reduced the size 
of the packaging, but as you can see from the following picture, the 
difference in size between an otherwise empty box and the game cartridge
 (you can see the slot in which it was housed) is not trivial. Of 
course, a tiny box would make the box art less and less useful as you 
shrink the game box, it would certainly not be as pleasing to look at as
 before, but this beauty does cost a lot of plastic. Still, not too rage
 inducing because the decision not to go below a certain box size is not
 completely unreasonable and so it does not feel like a pure and 
worthless waste. With PS Vita® buying packaged games is not the only 
option though, all retail games are also available on Sony&#39;s 
PlayStation® Store and you can reduce your collection of plastic boxes 
while saving about 10% compared to buying it at retail and saying 
goodbye to the concept of &quot;owning&quot; your software too though (you are 
allowed to download it and use it according to specific terms, but 
re-selling your purchased game is not allowed or contemplated).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Say
 that you felt the need for a decent travel pouch for PS Vita® though 
and that some of the other accessories bundled with it made the official
 Travel Kit desirable. Well, you will see one big and definitely 
upsetting pile of paper grow taller and taller as you open the travel 
kit&#39;s box and take its contents out.&lt;br /&gt;

(travel pouch, game cards carrying case, car USB charger, micro-fiber 
cloth, etc...) comes with a lengthy instructions manual. Of course, 
there is not much to say about the above items in terms of actual 
instructions, but EU member countries&#39; inability to accept either a 
widely used and relatively easy to learn &lt;i&gt;lingua franca&lt;/i&gt; (English) 
be used as default language for instruction manuals, warranties, and 
other official documents for EU products manage to turn what could be 
one little page of text into a thick folded manual for each of those 
items. Maybe a thousand years from now they will use these manuals as
 a Rosetta stone like device to learn &quot;ancient&quot; Earth languages, who knows :)? &lt;br /&gt;
It is strange to say
 the least, coming from the same company who reduced the paper waste of 
their newly launched product by directing you to the online manuals for 
the console itself,&amp;nbsp; that Sony did not think about a QR code, a URL 
written down somewhere to find all the instructions at, to transfer all 
that waste of paper for each Travel Kit sold into a few sections of text
 on a webserver somewhere. Maybe Sony did think about it, but apparently
 either this is not really the case or we as society are not ready to 
transition to electronic documents with most of the products we purchase
 yet. All the more upsetting when you take some time and actually read 
those manuals and find that experience quite patronizing. &lt;br /&gt;

 icing on the cake, and the element I kept for last, is the PS Vita® 
official memory card, a custom Flash memory format which is even tinier 
than the already small game cards. This incredibly compact card is sold 
surrounded by a ridiculously massive package inside of which you have 
yet another thick and useless manual. Just to add insult to the injury, I
 guess. &lt;br /&gt;
You might believe the squared hole in the middle of the packaging is another attempt of mine at carefully unpacking the memory card, but in my defense I did not cause that... it is where the memory card was located. If you take the 32 GB memory card you would get a card of the same dimensions which is pretty amazing.&lt;br /&gt;
