Our latest development for smart watch interfaces utilizes side-viewing cameras that monitor a virtual touchpad on the back of the user's
hand. This new technology provides an interface that is simple to control, and as the display is always visible to the user it is more
accurate. It is a perfect enhancement for smart watches and other wearable devices with very small displays.
INNOVENTIONS pioneered "tilt-to-scroll" technology when
Dr. David Y. Feinstein invented the RotoView concept.
Modern hand held devices pose the challenge of displaying
and navigating a lot of information within a relatively
small screen. The view navigation challenge becomes more
dificult when the screen is magnified and only a small
portion of the information is shown. Another challenge is
navigating the screen while the contents are changed
dynamically during the view navigation.
The RotoView® Solution
The patented
RotoView technology overcomes this view navigation
challenge with a "tilt-to-scroll" mechanism. With RotoView,
the user can navigate a virtual display containing extensive
information by simply tilting the device to the direction of
desired scrolling. This easily and intuitively allows for a
single hand scrolling. In comparison to the multi-touch
approach, RotoView also avoids smearing the display with
finger prints and eliminates the problem of inadvertent taps
on unrelated links scattered on the screen that will take
the user elsewhere.
While RotoView can perform all scrolling activities that
are traditionally performed by multi-touch, RotoView
integrates well with multi-touch, allowing the user to
selectively use both techniques.
Modern hand held devices now include tri-axis
accelerometers and/or gyroscopes, so RotoView technology
can be readily implemented in smartphones, tablets, GPS
devices, gaming devices, and wearable virtual reality (VR)
devices. We have created several proof-of-concept apps,
including the
RotoView Photo Viewer for Android and RotoView
Demo for iPhone. These RotoView viewer apps
provide intuitive single hand view navigation that is well
integrated with the standard multi-touch approach.
The new RotoView
PDF Reader for Android allows you to navigate
your PDF pages. This app demonstrates how all your large
PDF documents can be easily and efficiently scrolled even
when you must use high magnification in order to be able
to read the small print of the document.
RotoView Demo for iOS magnifies pictures and quickly
scrolls them using one hand.
RotoView PDF Reader for Android brings the RotoView
tilt to scroll technology to PDF reading.
RotoView Photo Viewer for Android is a full feature
gallery app based upon RotoView tilt to scroll
technology.
INNOVENTIONS utilized its accumulated expertise with
modern sensors during the development of the RotoView
technology to create popular apps for smartphones and
tablets. They teach users about the built-in sensors
contained within mobile devices and provide advanced data
logs, numerous demonstrations and various experiments.
Sensor Kinetics® and Sensor Kinetics® Pro apps are available
for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. Sensor Kinetic
is a free version with over one million downloads. The paid
Pro version enables file saving and file sharing, as well as
advanced sensor filtering. The Pro version is used by
numerous researchers worldwide to monitor kinetic behaviour
of various objects and (even) people.
Sensor Kinetics is supported for Android and iOS
smartphones and tablets.
Sensor Kinetics has a chart viewer for every type of
kinetic sensor.
The main screen of Sensor Kinetics for iOS device
shows the current readings from the main sensors.
Sensor Kinetics for Android provides a multi-sensor
recording that enables the user to simultaneous record
any combination of sensors that are available in the
device.
