SCYP uses The Force

We have received news that Immersion Corporation has accepted our proposal to study the potential use of vibration patterns in combination with GPS data in order to help students with and without disabilities identify nearby buildings and/or provide them with appropriate force-feedback cues as they navigate the University of Toronto St. George Campus.

In order to develop this project, Immersion will be lending us at least one Samsung i718 smart phone as well as a license for their VibeTonz® software developer suite. In addition to the Nokia 6682 phone that Synthetic Imaging recently provided for our Digital Tagging project, the Samsung i718 will become the third target platform available to SCYP developers!
