New Free iPhone App Demonstrates Innovative Display
Navigation
HOUSTON, TX - January 5 -
INNOVENTIONS, Inc. has released a new free iPhone app that demonstrates its
patented RotoView® "tilt and scroll" display navigation system
for smartphones. RotoView provides intuitive single-hand navigation, allowing
the user to simply tilt the device left-right or up-down to see beyond the
virtual boundaries of the display. RotoView complements multi-touch, especially
when the user cannot use both hands.
Described by online magazine
Brighthand.com as one of nine technologies "that could profoundly change
handhelds," RotoView can be incorporated into a wide range of portable
devices, including smartphones, media players, GPS devices, e-book readers,
cameras and tablet computers.
"The new app
demonstrates that integrating RotoView technology into smartphones requires
only our proprietary software, because smartphones include built-in
accelerometers," said Dr. David Feinstein, president of INNOVENTIONS.
"RotoView works in a complementary way with iPhone's multi-touch, although
it can perform all of the view navigation tasks on its own."
Under development since the
late 1990s, INNOVENTIONS was awarded US Patents 6,466,198 and 6,933,923,
followed by European patent EP1,290,672. INNOVENTIONS is currently porting the
RotoView Technology to other smartphone platforms, including Google's Android.
"Our goal is to
integrate RotoView into the core of all mobile operating systems. This will
bring fundamental single-hand view navigation capabilities to every web page,
photo, map or other scrollable data view," added Dr. Feinstein. "We
are looking for major smartphone and other personal media device manufacturers
to partner with us to achieve this goal."
The free RotoView app is now
available at the App Store. Users can navigate their photos and get a glimpse
of this new technology, while programmers, product engineers and other
prospective partners may also use this app to evaluate the RotoView technology
in great depth.
