USA - A new iPhone application by Wybron packs more than 1,500 gobos into a sleek device that fits in the user's pocket. The Moiré Gobo Library lets users browse, search, and experiment with A-size gobos from GAM and Lee, with more to come.

The Moiré Gobo Library, which also works on the iPod touch, lets the user: view gobos on a white or black background, simulating the look of the gobo itself or the image it produces on a dark stage; search gobos by name and number; sort gobos by name and number in ascending and descending order; maintain a list of 12 most recently viewed gobos, and send comments directly to the developer with a feedback button.

The idea for the Moiré Gobo Library came, in part, from the suggestions of customers using Wybron's Gel Swatch Library, which features nearly 1,000 gel colours. The Gel Swatch Library was recently named one of Live Design magazine's Products of the Year for 2008-09. It took home an ESTA Member's Choice Award from LDI in October 2008.

"With our new app, you don't have to buy dozens of different gobos and load them into a fixture to see how they'll look," said Scott Longberry, Wybron engineer and developer of the application. "Just turn on your iPhone or iPod touch, and you can play with hundreds of different gobos to see what happens if you overlap them, blur them, spin them - or whatever effect you want."

The app should be useful for a wide variety of lighting venues, including nightclubs, concerts, theatres, churches, cruise ships, and more, Longberry said.
