@rrhoover That is a very cool landing page! I've rarely heard the use of audio on a landing page - have you seen anything like this? It's also interesting how they placed so much emphasis on recruiting for their landing page. Most companies stick their "jobs" page on a tiny tab at the footer. This is a bold approach.

Uhg. I don't like that landing page for a few reasons: - I didn't know there was audio, so I watched some without my headphones on, by the time I realized there was audio/put them on I missed most of the content. - The video has only pause/play control so reloading is the only way to restart it? - Auto playing video makes me sad. - Auto playing audio makes me sadder. - There doesn't seem to be a text description of what it is/how it works. That being said, it is a super beautiful page, and the actual video is pretty fun.

Similar reactions to @willimholte here. I have a gut reaction against auto-playing video, and even more so with audio. I was also left wondering what the use cases would be for this. They would do well to have that video include some lo-fi app prototypes that spark imagination. For instance, when Apple launched FaceTime they didn't show 30 abstract seconds of "now you have a 10th way to call your friends". They showed dads on business trips, a long distance relationship on valentine's day, etc, with nothing new to install. For Fuffr, they might show an easy setup, little kids on a car ride playing Pong on the middle car seat; demoing something at a science fair; scrolling a recipe while cooking raw chicken; some new app not possible with the normal app store. The current demos all left me saying "why would I want that?". Also, does saying "fuffr" aloud mean anything in Swedish?

It looks like Leap motion but for iPhone. Would be curious to see if its possible for cover to work not only when its against a surface.

For those interested: They build a cover that acts as sensor and communicates with the iPhone via Bluetooth LTE[1] with the phone. So Alex's comparision with leap motion is spot-on correct. I am kinda "disappointed". I hoped at first that they use the gyro of the iphone to understand where the vibration comes from. Apart of this growth limitation a very exciting product!
