Chihuly is a Glass Blowing App That Interacts with Your Breath
Jonathon Brown — January 23, 2013 — Art & Design
Dale Chihuly is the mind behind the glass blowing app named after him.
Chihuly, available now in the Apple App Store, is based on Dale’s years of work as a glass blowing artist. His breathtaking, colorful work has been displayed all over the world and now he’s sharing the art form with smartphone users in a simple to use glass blowing app.
The app is very straightforward and begins with a regular piece of glass. Users literally blow on their iPhone screen and the glass moves in response to the strength of the blow. A strong blow will transform the glass a lot, so be careful. Once the glass is in the desired form, colors can be played with and entire installations can be created.
