Garcon app allows iPhone to communicate with symbols

Written on 12:10 AM by Mujtaba

It seems that an iPhone app developer wants to market a new language to iPhone users. The language uses 16 visual symbols and is for use in environments where there are crowds and noise. When you need to communicate something from a distance or when it’s a little hard to hear you simply pick the appropriate symbol and hold up your iPhone.

The application can be used to convey a request to a bartender by simply displaying a beer or cocktail. Perhaps you need something from your waiter or waitress? If so, simply choose the symbol for chopsticks, coffee, fork, knife, menu, or napkin. The application, Garcon, is available from the iTunes App Store for US$0.99.

Okay, perhaps this isn’t the most useful application yet to hit the App Store. Still, competition is getting tough on the iTunes App Store and developers are finding it hard to differentiate their products from other applications. There is no doubt in my mind that Garcon differentiates itself not only in name, but in purpose.
