TouchSmarter: Touch Screen Gadgets

NUITEQ would like to thank its clients, partners, employees and other associates for an amazing 2009. It was an interesting year and we are very appreciative of that.

We wish everybody a healthy and prosperous 2010.

We released the Snowflake Suite C++ beta SDK, which is available at completely no charge, as we want to encourage software developers to create multi-touch applications with Snowflake.

The free C++ SDK (beta) can be downloaded here.

The SDK allows software developers to develop their own multi-touch software applications in C++ inside Snowflake.
The SDK comes with sample applications, tutorials and instructions in order to assist developers to easily develop applications.

As the SDK is in beta stage, we are looking forward to receive any feedback in order to improve the SDK.

The NUITEQ wiki can be found here: wiki.nuiteq.com.

Natural User Interface Technologies AB (NUITEQ) is very excited to announce the release of Snowflake Suite 1.8 and the Snowflake C++ SDK. This is one of the most significant releases until now, with literally tons of new features and applications.

We want to thank some of our clients and partners with whom we have worked closely together during the pre release stage, to ensure that their feedback was implemented.

Nexio support has been added to Snowflake. Other supported multi-touch hardware technology platforms include: 3M Touch Systems, N-trig, NextWindow, Lumio, rear camera and dreaMTouch.

We are keen to being able to show the Snowflake C++ SDK (beta), which will be available as a free full version download in the upcoming days through the NUITEQ website, located at www.nuiteq.com.
As the Snowflake SDK is in beta, we are looking forward to receive the feedback of software developers in order for us to improve the SDK.

New applications in 1.8 include Drums (a multi-touch drum set simulation), Slot Machine (a multi-touch slot machine casino game), Connledge (an alpha version of a zoomable wiki interface).

Connledge will allow users to load their wiki data either through an XML stream or from a database.

Pong has been re-introduced after numerous requests.

Airhockey has received an additional game mode (4 player mode).

A complete new menu system has been added, allowing users to browse through the applications. Users can even configure if they want to utilize the menu that was available in the previous versions of Snowflake.

Brand new application icons are integrated.

The PDF viewer has been rewritten and is therefore greatly improved and more flexible (including better resolution).

The licensing system has been rewritten, making licensing the software easier and more flexible (especially fine tuned for mass OEM integration)
