Today we were filmed by a the TV crew of Bright.tv. I think the item is going to be very good and we had some very cool conversation with David Lemerereis (writer for Bright magazine). The item is going “live” next Friday on http://www.bright.tv.
Next to that we will be presenting the Touchy Remix on the next Bright Night (23 of April 2010) in Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam. You are all invited to come there and see our yellow Touchy Remix. Check out this URL for more info:http://www.bright.nl/bright-night-5-ipads-en-touchy-remix
Yesterday I got the latest print of the local edition of the Dutch chamber of commerce magazine or “Kamer van Koophandel” as it is called in Dutch. We were featured with the Touchy Remix table in the gadgets section. The real fun part was that we were mentioned in the section “Gadgets for on the road”. It’s the very first time we actually get mentioned in a list of portable products with our 95kg table. Sorry for the lousy iPhone photo. More local magazine features about the Touchy Remix coming soon.
By the way. If you encounter the Touchy Remix in some local newspaper please let us know.
A couple days ago I started a new Google code project called: “Tractable”. Tractable will not only include an improved version of the “rotatable scalable” but supply users with a complete behavioral multi-touch framework. This project will be published under the MIT license. Here you’ll find some excerpt of our road-map:
Roadmap Tractable project
Introduction
Tractable is a new AS3 class for rotating scaling and dragging DisplayObjects in a multi-touch enabled setup. It’s a direct competitor with the build-in gesture “pinch” libraries from Adobe itself which it shipped with the latest release of the Flash Player 10.1. These libraries are insufficient when it comes to intuitive and “free” control allowing only one manipulation at the time (rotate vs. scale).
Tractable also forms an alternative to parts of commercial efforts like Ideums GestureWorks which allows it’s users a great deal of manipulation freedom. However, we will not create a full-blown framework like GestureWorks. The tractable project will only focus on the creation of efficient manipulation classes which can be reused in several environments.
We were featured on the TV show “Amsterdam INC” on the local AT5 television channel. This channel specializes on the regional news from the Amsterdam area. Below you will find the preview of our item which will air tonight on the 16th of March 2010 at 19:14 (GMT +1) on AT5. We are very happy with the end result. (Warning, this item partially Dutch spoken)
While our product/service offering currently consists of separate holdings (SOCO/Intactlab), we are in the process of consolidating our operations under the brand name SENSUS so that we may provide even better integration between our hardware/software systems. We will give more detailed information soon. If you have questions concerning the fusion of SOCO Sensus and Intactlab please contact us.
