[NFB-Science] James Webb Revisited

[John Gardner]

Tina, the IVEO touchpad was originally designed for little kids needing a big tactile area.  So their active surface is 11x14 inches, which is larger than most would need. It was introduced in 2005 and is therefore "old technology". I think the retail cost is about $500. A 
windows touch screen will also work - the problem being that Windows OS has so many default swipes that cannot be removed. For example a right swipe can remove the current window and revert to the last window. But you can be careful and use it - I use it all the time. 

Software needed to read is the IVEO Player which is free. The authoring package includes the IVEO Transformer (transforms bit map graphics to IVEO SVG) and IVEO Creator (Creates IVEO SVG and, in some cases, converts an inaccessible SVG to IVEO format). These applications are being used successfully for little kids mostly, and truthfully they are sufficiently limited an clumsy that I will not recommend them for the kind of projects you describe.

ViewPlus and the Inclusio team are working to replace these applications by web-based apps, and the first alpha versions are likely to appear within a year. As I said, stay tuned.

John

How much are your touch pads? What software would I need, and how would we be able to set things up? Thanks.
