A Game of Thrones Android app guides you through the world of Westeros and beyond
Author: Brittany Turner
Perhaps the second screen experience for HBO megahit show A Game of Thrones provided through Xbox 360′s SmartGlass functionality and HBO Go’s iPad app isn’t enough for you? And maybe you want a bit more of a George R. R. Martin touch to your Game of Thrones book companions? This week’s release of “A Game of Ice and Fire” for Android — the previously iOS-only Game of Thrones app that acts as an “official guide” to the series and its myriad characters / relationships / political struggles / etc. — is clearly for you. And yes, it goes beyond what just the show covers; it can even be customized for spoilers based around how far you are.
The initial cost to download is nothing and comes with several characters as well as a companion for the first book, but for books two through five you’ll need to grab the upgrades: $ 1 apiece, or $ 5 for those four plus an additional “InfoPack” which would otherwise cost $ 2 by itself. Those $ 2 “InfoPacks” include, “new characters and places and additional data and background info” (whatever that means), and more are expected in the future. The third season of A Game of Thrones kicks off on March 31st, and wouldn’t you know it, this app is perfectly timed to accompany it. That’s what we call synergy. Head to the Google Play link in the source link and grab it for free, or risk *paying the iron price.
*Thankfully, in this case, that price is just potentially looking ignorant about A Game of Thrones. So … not that big of a thing, actually.

GetGlue update brings personalized guides, feeds and new ads to iPhone
Author: Buck Howard
Conspicuously timed just after a Super Bowl dubbed by some (mostly marketing types) as the “most social ever”, GetGlue has pushed a new version of its app for iPhones. Version 4.0 for Apple’s smaller iOS devices brings many of the social features recently added to the iPad app, as the guides gain personalized recommendations of shows you might enjoy. The main feed brings in even more information about shows being watched by your friends plus a way to easily chat with them within the app. Also improved is the amount of background info available for each show, and reminders for major events, premieres and finales — similar upgrades are listed as coming soon for Android and its mobile website.
Like Foursquare and other location services have shifted focus towards discovery, GetGlue (among others) is doing the same for TV while also improving its profile for businesses. In a move it unveiled with Pepsi during the big game last Sunday, it offers advertisers the opportunity for promoted tied to a particular brand or show, that may pop into your feed if your friends like them. With Twitter itself making a major move into TV experiences it will be interesting how the recently downsized pool of social TV competitors reacts, and who comes out on top. According to GetGlue, 15 percent of all tweets about Pepsi during the Super Bowl came from its app. You can find out if these additions are good ones — your friends wouldn’t share any particularly annoying ads, would they? — by snagging the new update from iTunes.

Nintendo 3DS tour guides might make the Mona Lisa less underwhelming
Author: Christen Arquette
Other than wine, cheese and overwhelming apathy, the Louvre stands alone as France’s most prized national treasure. It’s enormous, it’s teeming with art, and it’s really old. Starting in March, though, the museum will get an infusion of comparatively new technology, thanks to the Nintendo 3DS. As the AFP reports, Nintendo has agreed to provide the Louvre with some 5,000 pocket consoles, to be offered as digital tour guides for museum patrons. With these devices tucked securely inside their fanny packs, wandering tourists will be able to pinpoint their location within the museum, select themed itineraries, and listen to audio commentary available in seven different languages. The consoles will eventually replace the museum’s more traditional audio guides, as part of a wider campaign to bring 21st century technology to the Louvre’s 12th century confines. “We are the first museum in the world to do this,” Agnes Alfandari, the Louvre’s head of multimedia, told the AFP, adding that a slate of dedicated smartphone and tablet apps is also in the works.

The Buru Navi Guides You By Simulating The Feeling Of Your Hand Being Pulled
Author: Jon Mitchell
The NTT Communication Science Laboratories in Japan has developed some kind of divining rod [JP] that can navigate users to a specific location by simulating the feeling of their hand being pulled in the direction of that location. All that users need to do is to outstretch their hand holding the device (palm side up) and let the so-called Buru Navi do its magic.
The Buru Navi houses vibrating weights that shift and point the user to the targeted location, making the users feel as if their hand is being pulled in the process.
NTT says the prototype has a GPS module and that the final goal is to make it small enough for use in cell phones, for example for games or helping the visually impaired or tourists navigate cities.
In its current form, the device weighs 260g. NTT aims at commercializing the Buru Navi system by around 2016 (according to Japanese business daily The Nikkei).
