Generating low resolution user interfaces for transmission to mobile devices

“A computer-implemented method includes generating a user interface for displaying one or more images, receiving a request from a remote device to view the user interface, determining whether the remote device is a mobile device communicating over a wireless network, depending on a result of the determination, generating a low resolution version of the user interface that is computationally less intensive to render compared to the previously generated user interface, and transmitting the low resolution version of the user interface to the requesting device.”

Details:
May 27, 2013 Monday, Memorial Day
Ala Moana Beach Honolulu, Hawai‘i

From the website:
Every year on Memorial Day, tens of thousands of people gather on O‘ahu’s south shore along with thousands more who join this event via live streaming and telecast to honor loved ones and generate hope toward the future. Lantern Floating Hawaii allows people a personal moment to remember, reflect and offer gratitude to those who have gone before us. It is also a collective experience where families, friends and even strangers reach out with love and understanding to support one-another. We become stronger as a community when we are able to recognize our shared values. Lantern Floating Hawaii helps to open our hearts in an experience that transcends the human boundaries that usually divide us.

Tapiki launches the all-new Flo Water website. Check it out and help reduce bottled water pollution!

About Flo Water (http://flowaterusa.com/hawaii.html):
Flo Water® was founded in 2008 by young environmental entrepreneur, Wyatt Taubman, who grew up in the tropical paradise of Hawaii. Taubman conceived of Flo Water® while studying Environmental Studies and Economics at the University of San Diego. After learning extensively about the plastic water bottle pollution crisis that we face globally, he felt passionately compelled to do something about it and the concept of Flo Water® was born.

The first Flo Water® Refill Station™ became a reality in 2009, when Taubman moved back to Hawaii after graduation and secured a small business loan from the Bank of Hawaii. Shortly thereafter, the first Flo Water® Refill Station™ was installed at Island School, a private K-12 school on Kauai, where it was embraced by both students and faculty alike. This first pilot was followed by successful beta programs at Iolani School and the University of Hawaii at Manoa, as well as at shopping centers, gas stations, and convenience stores in Hawaii.
