Emulator Multitouch MIDI Controller

EMULATOR?
Emulator is a multitouch MIDI controller (for windows 7, and YES…iPad software is in development), software where you have everything you need on same screen and combines the power of multitouch, the usefulness of a standard mouse and the native interface of software to be controlled all in one nice and useful GUI. The first Version 1.0 includes layout 100% compatible with Traktor Pro internal mode, future upgrades include Traktor exteral mode and new layouts for Deckadance, Virtual DJ, Ableton, Serato and many more.

This software runs under windows 7, 32bit/64bit; and works on tablet PCs
with 12.1 inch screen (1280×800).
This was done because the big LCD multitouch screens available on the market aren’t really accurate and enough for pro usage; (optical sensors can) generate false touch, ghost touches, etc etc, the only one really accurate and Pro system are the touch units from PQ Labs 1280×800 is perfect resolution for use with rear projection systems.

Face ID has gained very good reputation from end users, system integrators, and partners.


Hanvon Technology (SZSE: 002362), a world leader of developing Handwriting Recognition, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and Biometric Recognition related technology and products, released its unique and innovative Face ID in late 2008, over 30,000 units have been installed worldwide till March 31, 2010.


Hanvon has involved Biometric industry more than 10 years and set up very good reputation for researching Biometric technology. On 2004, Hanvon was listed the 3rd place on Third International Fingerprint Verification Competition (FVC 2004). Hanvon released the industry first embedded facial recognition system on September 2008, which declares the era of applying Embedded Facial Recognition system begins. The purpose of releasing Face ID is to replace these faulty fingerprint and RFID products. Compare to fingerprint or RFID technology, facial technology has unique features which could overcome these faults of fingerprint and RFID technology.


1) Contactless enrollment and verification makes the hygienic user experience
2) Low failure to enroll and acquire rate enables system the ultimate usability
3) Incident Trackable enhance the security level of authentication, refuse fraud with any fake


Almost 2 years past, over 30,000 units Face ID have been installed and more than 20 millions end users have experienced the unique facial recognition technology from Hanvon. Review the sales process of Face ID:



1)832 units were installed in China from September to December 2008
2)17,556 units were installed worldwide on year 2009
3)12,352 units were installed worldwide on the first quarter of 2010
4) over 20,000 units were booked by the worldwide distributors on the second quarter of 2010


“We definitely believe the facial technology is the inexorable trend of Biometric, it will occupy more market share of fingerprint and RFID technology”. Said by Tomas Xu, the Vice President of Hanvon. “We have full confidence to push Face ID in the market. At the beginning, we do not believe we can sell, but customers show quick decision to buy after several demonstrations made at their end”. Said by Mr.Lee, one of the Face ID distributors from China.



“The best way to sell Face ID is to demonstrate it to target customer, let them experience the technology”. This is the most conclusion of successful case during the Business Invitation Conference on June 21, over 400 partners and distributors attended this conference.

Hanvon Touchpad B10 Windows 7 Tablet: Impressions, Unboxing Video

Hanvon have started shipping in Germany and already a un-boxing Video has appeared on Youtube,

For those of you not interested in moving over to the new Apple tablet way of life with the iPad, you might be interested in this. The new Hanvon Touchpad B10 which is now available in Europe.

As for the spec’s, the B10 is what you would expect with current modern netbooks. 1.3GHz Celeron ULV processor, 2GB RAM, GMA 4500 graphics, 10.1-inch 1024×600 touchscreen with added multitouch support, mini HDMI port, 250GB hard drive, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth, 1.3-megapixel webcam, a couple of USB 2.0 ports and weighs in at under 1kg.

What was most interesting is the way Hanvon marketed the product. They did this by smashing a huge ice-sculpture modelled on the Apple logo. But why this device is significantly better than the iPad, they failed to deliver.

Hanvon’s touchpad is currently being sold with German retailers Papyrus for €771.24 ($974) including tax, with shipments expected to kick off in six days time.


Ubuntu and Hanvon


A Hanvon TouchPad F10 running Windows 7 on Intel Atom with full sized 10 inch touch screen.

The majority of Windows tablets we've seen are coming out of China have been based on Intel's Atom processor platform - mostly a decision prompted by price, but also one that means at least moderate battery life. And you'd expect a mature distro like Ubuntu to have relatively few problems with driver support etc on a CPU/Chipset combo as ubiquitous as the Atom. But like many things in the world of Linux, it ain't quite that simple.

The video below comes to us via our buddies at netbooknews.com and shows an early attempt to get Ubuntu going on a Hanvon tablet. The user is not having a great deal of luck; the standby function appears at least to problematic. The next 10.1 iteration of Ubuntu will add support for multi-touch and hopefully a top-notch user experience, but what will the Hanvon's of this world make of it all?


Hanvon recently affirmed its love for Microsoft and Windows 7, announcing a partnership for tablets aimed a business users. The strategy here is that business users would enjoy paying more for a larger screened device that runs a familiar OS. Good luck with that one.

So would Hanvon be tempted by Ubuntu? It's a license free / open source OS so why not? Well firstly, adding a free OS to an expensive device doesn't make a lot of sense, especially when one of the key selling points is that we're giving you a familiar OS. The business community is wired more for an old style Windows experience than a new fangled open source one where everything is new; Microsoft knows that they're hooked on Outlook, Word and Excel. Besides... woe betide anyone who tries to push these suit wearing decision makers to learn a new tricks, like say....er....gmail. Like teaching your grannie to tweet.

Cheap Stand & Stylus For the Hanvon

I had to pop over to my mates to drop off the paper work for the ipad i sold him few days ago,
and he showed me this stand,
looked really good, check it out on the touchpad and it fitted fine,
price was shocking it only cost him £5.80 on auction,
and he gave me the link for the stylus which he has ordered,
the stylus priced at £1.29 surely is a bargain,
looks similar to the dagi stylus without the clear tip...

Rotation and G-Sensor what to do??

As there isnt a driver out at the moment for the G-Sensor you have to use on screen command to rotate the display,
luckly a member from whirlpool has come up with a way to use the toggle dial on the side to rotate the display,

you will need AutoHotKey to re-assign them.

Get it here http://www.autohotkey.com/
