INTERACTION DESIGNER IS A FRAMEWORK TO DEVELOP GESTURE BASED CONTROLS,
A TOOL THAT COMES WITH THE IISU SDK.
Why interaction designer?
In order to transform raw information about the user into useable controls for your application you need to go though several steps:
- Understand what is happening in the scene and how it is interpreted by iisu.
- Make some operations to transform the raw data from iisu into control values specifically suited for your application.
- Test and adjust your algorithm and coefficient.
For each of these steps you will likely need tools to help you.
What really motivates the whole SoftKinetic team is when we see our customer and partner build amazing interactions! Therefore we are a bit frustrated when time is being spent on rebuilding the same kind of tools again and again instead of investing that time in developing even cooler gesture based applications.
This is why we decided to use our experience to build a tool to eases that process. It integrates seamlessly with your development environment and just focuses on gesture based interaction design so that you can focus on everything else.
How can interaction designer help you?
Improve your production workflow by:
- Letting you easily switch between testing “live” in front of the camera, recording sequences and testing “off line” with recorded SoftKinetic video (.SKV) sequences.
- Letting you design and adjust interaction controls without recompilation. It might even be connected to your application through the network.
- Letting designer test interaction ideas even before your application is started.
- Providing you with higher level functions to simplify your algorithms.
Improve your understanding of the scene and algorithms:
- By providing several precious ways to visualize iisu and script data in 2d, 3d and over time.
Kick start your first steps thanks to:
- Easy access to all iisu data
- A series of examples that represent the most commonly used controls and techniques for gesture based controls.
Eases the communication with the SoftKinetic technical support and your pears on the user forum by:
- Letting you send scripts to be debugged without having to share your application code.
- Letting SoftKinetic send you code examples for your typical question.
