Fluid Interactions have more up their sleeves; they’ve also created another app for the Ovi platform called AI:KA, which combines a clock and a calendar in one analogue timepiece. This allows a user to get all information about time and schedule in just one glance, either broken up by day, week, month, or year.
Last year the company won the Nokia Innovators Conference for showcasing how information can be presented in a new way. They received €150k in prize money, which provided a nice boost for the team of five to finance its growth. I spoke to Kalle Määttä from Fluid Interaction, who says they will also soon be taking on other areas in their quest to fight against information overload. Judging from the novelty of their past couple apps, it should be interesting to see what to come up with next, especially as they expand to the larger iPhone and Android platforms.
