Aelios is an application that was developed by Bachelor students. Two weeks after its launch, it topped download charts in Switzerland and Germany. EPFL computer science student Andrea Coiro developed a weather application for Apple's iPad for his Bachelor's project. Yet another weather app? There are already a lot of them on the market, but most of them are either too tacky or contain too much information, sloppily presented. Jilion , a start-up company, which has already developed an Internet service called "Sublime Video" that can incorporate a universal video player into web pages (even readable on iPhone and iPad using the HTML 5 format), was looking for something exceptional, and, above all, beautiful from a design standpoint. "We were naturally interested in what's being done in luxury watchmaking," continues Aminian, co-founder of Jilion. The application, baptized Aelios, opens onto a world map.
