At Miura we like to we like to be active in the fields of our expertise, to keep us on our toes and at the cutting edge of design and technology. As a result we are invlolved in many initiatives. Below are a few products from Miura_Lab.
GOOGLE WEBFONT DIRECTORY TESTER
With the recent announcement of the Google Font Directory at Miura we thought we would offer a font comparson feature, so designers and developers could test different font variations before implementing them on their sites.
All fonts offered by Google in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and are served by Google servers.View font details to get the code needed to embed the font on your web site. Please also visit the Google quick start guide and FAQ page. For more help and suggestions, use our moderator page.

Have a look and play with our ‘Type it and buy it’ function, where you can select and type out your desired messages before you buy.

iSicko
Click on the random generator button to watch the most disgusting selection of puke fill your iPhone with sick. Some to the brim, others overflow. With repulsive sounds to match we dare you not to heave when you use iSicko.
Play iSicko in secret and watch people around you look in disgust for someone being sick.
Shake to clear the screen and try another puke at random.
Test your friends to see who has the courage to press on the SICKO button.
An app not to be taken seriously, iSicko was conceived and developed by Miura, as a side project, to shock, surprise and turn stomachs in our studio. It got such a great reaction we had to share it with the rest of the world.
Get iSicko on your iPhone now. (A bargain at £0.59)
