Case study: NUITEQ’s multi-touch technology assists handicapped children with their educationPosted by: RSS in Uncategorized
I previously mentioned that NUITEQ freely assisted handicapped children with their education, by applying multi-touch technology for Action For Kids, a UK based national charity working with children and young people with physical and learning disabilities. The children used NUITEQ’s award winning multi-touch software product Snowflake Suite, to enhance their way of learning, by offering a more playful and intuitive solution, in comparison to conventional learning methods. A case study related to this effort can now be found here. A previous news item regarding this, can be found here. I clearly remember from my school time, that when the learning process was fun, you more easily remembered what you were actually supposed to learn. I think multi-touch is an extraordinary tool/technology to make learning more playful, fun, collaborative and engaging, which is one of the reasons why NUITEQ focuses its efforts also specifically on the educational market vertical. It is very rewarding to see that our product helps children and puts a smile on the face of children that are physically and mentally challenged. Apple has today announced that it has sold over 3 million iPads in just 80 days. Yesterday marked the 80th day of the iPad going on sale in the US. Using Apple’s past sales figures it is clear that sales of the iPad are accelerating, even taking into account the expanding international sales. It took 28 days for Apple to sell the first million iPads, 31 days to sell the second million, and 21 days to reach the three million mark. “People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more people around the world, including those in nine more countries next month.” Apple also took the opportunity offer stats on iPad apps, the store now has 11,000 apps on board and the iPad can also run all the 225,000 iPhone and iPod touch apps.
