New Video Shows iOS in the Car Running on iOS Simulator
The feature is intended to allow an iOS device to take over the in-dash display of a car. which lets you access your Maps, messages, make phone calls, and other services.
Troughton-Smith today posted a video which shows how the feature will work. via a barebones implementation that is actually present in the already released iOS 7.0.3 but not accessible by default. The video shows the iOS in the Car feature running on a separate 800×480 window in the iOS Simulator, which is part of Xcode, Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE).
Troughton-Smith provided the following details in the YouTube description:
- Supports Multiple ResolutionsMany car makers from Honda, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and more, are expected to support the feature by this year. The second beta of iOS 7.1 brought a new Car Display toggle, leading some to believe that iOS in the Car support could be a feature bundled into iOS 7.1.
- Supports touchscreens (presumably single-touch?), hardware buttons, wheels and touchpads
- Does not support multitasking - car display will always show same current on-screen app as iPhone (which can be locked/asleep)
- Whitelisted to specific Apple apps - no public API for developers [yet?]
- Has no keyboard UI - voice recognition as input
- UI clearly subject to change
- Missing functionality in video is due to iOS Simulator not containing all the stock iOS apps

The Canon LEGRIA mini X camcorder shows its potential in video
The Canon LEGRIA series features a good range of camcorders of all kinds, among which is the Canon LEGRIA mini X a mini camera that can be placed anywhere to get the most creative and sharp planes. It is intended as auxiliary camera for film professionals or shorts can record images in tight spaces or awkward places, as Canon has shown in a promotional video of this little camera. It is very compact and versatile in the sense that you can anchor to almost any surface and its lens is very light, to get good results but the light is not intense, such as when shooting indoors. It also integrates an LCD screen, microphone and connections to share images or copy them to another medium.
The Canon LEGRIA mini X is designed to improve video productions, handling these complicated plans for large cameras. As is so small, you can get very creative framing. In the video we see as holding the car rear view mirror, getting closer the subject up. It is also useful if for example we want to record from inside a closet or take a subjective level as a resource. The Canon LEGRIA mini X offers very good quality and always framed flat thanks to its lens with f / 2.8 and so ultra wide angle or fisheye. In this way we can record from very close range those subjects out of the frame, although slightly deformed. To avoid reducing the foreground field of view to 64 degrees there mode. In this case the integrated stabilizer is necessary, as it helps to minimize camera shake, resulting in a more stable and smooth-motion video. The resolution is FullHD videos and can be stored in MP4 or 24Mbps AVCHD format. Besides its HDMI connection does not compress the signal. It also records videos in slow motion or fast motion, reducing the speed and multiplying by four. Includes an interval recording mode or Time-lapse, convenient to represent the time quickly.
Its design makes it possible for us to be placed anywhere. It has a universal tripod with which we hold different accessories. The screen is hinged, to see the frame easily from any position and also includes a foldable stand for placement on flat surfaces. As mentioned, includes a stereo microphone can be adjusted manually. However, if the Canon LEGRIA mini X is used as auxiliary chamber, it is normal that the sound comes from another microphone, but can always be used to complement the main audio track. Finally highlight its WiFi connection to transfer photos to another computer or control from your smartphone or tablet.
As we see in the video, drawings made with the Canon LEGRIA mini X have the same quality as those made with large format cameras. Canon LEGRIA mini X is very practical and versatile camera and costs about 400 euros.
