Back in November last year, onedotzero collaborated with Wieden + Kennedy and Nokia as part of the Nokia Lumia 800 launch to create alphalabs.cc, an experiment that merges technology and the arts.
The competition was designed to encourage artists and developers to share the experimental apps that they create on the WP7 platform. With an extended deadline of 13th February in place this should give you all time to get your submissions in, with results to be announced on 17 February 2012.
During the competition launch, onedotzero’s director Shane Walter introduced three experiments that had been created by selected teams of artists and developers for the purpose of inspiring the audience with real working demonstrations. The work showcases the creative possibilities of the platform and the phone, and was impressively developed in just two weeks.
Check out the edited highlights of the three projects that were showcased on the launch day for a reminder of the inspirational demonstrations of app creations. Certainly worth viewing to get an idea of what is achievable on the Windows Phone platform.
VEQUENCER – STUART WARREN-HILL + TEAM HOLOTRONICA
REDSHIFT – FIELD.IO + TREEHOUSE DEV
KALEIDOBOOTH – MAX HATTLER + INDIESKIES
With just over two weeks to go there’s still time to submit your entries, don’t forget the cash prize incentives for the best experiments:
£5000 for the winner
£500 x ten runners up
Entries do not necessarily have to be completed projects – we want to see the best experimentations of the Window Phone platform.
Here are some UX and design guides for the Windows Phone Platform:
