Greetings everyone!

This is to inform you that iFeelPixel beta 0.9.0 (Major version) is
available at: http://www.ifeelpixel.com/download/

If your version is outdated, please update to the most current
version.


Description: Features and Benefits

- iFeelPixel is an application designed to create force feedback
sensations based on pictures elements (pixel) or device button
presses.

- Simply leave it running in the background, and any image generated
by your computer will be represented with a matching sensation on an
Immersion TouchSense device or Novint Falcon.

- iFeelPixel works with all games, all applications, and any other
Windows program that has image.

- It works in parallel with existing access technology regardless of
disability.

- Automatic conversion of graphics to pseudo-haptics and haptics that
will make even the pure graphics on the Internet accessible to low
vision and blind users.

- It's the first multimodal software that allows a user to feel the
pixels on the screen with haptic feedback, visual feedback and
auditory feedback at a time.

- It engages your sense of touch for a more natural, intuitive
experience. Feeling is believing!

What's new in this version?

-Visual Feedback (Pseudo-haptic developed in collaboration with INRIA)
has been optimized. Users can select if they prefer to be attracted or
repulsed when there is a pixel detection under their cursor.

That's mean iFeelPixel software can simulate realistic pseudo-tactile
sensations without a haptic interface.

Have you ever dreamt of feeling the relief of images with a simple
mouse? Now, it's possible!


- New multimodal file menubar

I. Visual Feedback (To enable pseudo-haptic effects with a simple
mouse)

II. Haptic feedback is divided into 3 parts:
1. Rumble Feedback (To enable Rumble effects for Nintendo Wiimote).
2. Tactile Feedback (To enable Tactile effects for TouchSense
devices).
3. Force Feedback (To enable force effects for Novint Falcon).

The Novint Falcon is an entirely new type of game controller.
Replacing your mouse or joystick, the Falcon is, essentially, a small
robot that lets you experience true virtual touch unlike any
controller in history.

III. Auditory Feedback is divided into 3 parts:
1. Sound Card Feedback
2. Internal Speakers
3. Narrator Voices


Edge, Line, Corner, Color, Grid, Texture options has been updated (v.
0.9.0):
- You can choose if you prefer an attraction effect or repulsion
effect for Visual Feedback or Novint Falcon
