...what if you could enjoy flowers and peaceful soundscapes on your iPhone? You can even turn sounds off, if you want! I know, it sounds a bit exaggerated, since there's no smell, and no positive energy you can get from a real flower, but when there's no real flower around, I guess Jiyuka could replace it, at least for a while.
"Jiyuka means "free flower" and is a modern form of Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. With Jiyuka, create and explore beautiful compositions of randomly generated flowers with complementing generative soundscapes. Jiyuka will put the user into the relaxing state of creating ever evolving compositions and exploring ever changing floral designs."
Randomly generated art, that's not bad, not bad at all! Since I am crazy about fractals and abstract art, seeing how Jiyuka works made me believe that there's still a ray of hope for new iPhone apps to get my attention. Just check this -
"Flowers are created randomly as unique combinations of petal shapes and colors yielding an unlimited multitude of designs. Favorite flowers can be saved in a palette or be combined into new ones by crossing. The user can change the flower sizes, stack and layer them into beautiful arrangements and choose a matching background color shade from the wheel of colors. Completed arrangements can be saved in high quality to the photo library of the iPhone or iPod touch.
Jiyuka will complement the visual experience with a meditative soundscape reflecting the flower arrangement and colors. The music offers ever evolving melodies from four different user selectable tonal scales."
Considering that you'll get this program for $3.99 and it won't fade away, that's a pretty good deal. Even more, you can create interesting art for various projects - like flower textures, for example.
