Interabang Entertainment and Fig Publishing Launch Crowdfunding Campaign on Fig.co
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Jump into the shoes of Lunch Box and Mr. Snoogans! The team at Interabang Entertainment is making a Jay and Silent Bob video game, called Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch! Longtime fans of Kevin Smith's Askew-niverse, the Interabang team is creating a game that captures the satire and irreverence of the movies and brings back the tone of the gone-before-its-time Clerks cartoon series. To kick off the project, Interabang Entertainment and Fig Publishing are giving fans a chance to get involved through a rewards and investment crowdfunding campaign for Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch on the Fig platform (http://www.fig.co).
In Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch, players get into a tag team combo fight fest and wreak havoc on their foes with fists, feet, and the magic of self-esteem-destroying jibes while embarking on a mission to find their long-lost pot customers trapped in an Orwellian mega super shopping mall. The mall turns out to be a Utopian labyrinth with apartments, restaurants, hospitals and everything that a post-World War II nuclear bunker would contain--with a candy coating of fun.
Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is a colorful side-scrolling 2.5D, over-the-top multiplayer tag-team brawler whose action escalates as the player travels deeper into the mall of purgatory. The team is creating the narrative through environment, design, combat and a new conversation combat system called the Convo Combo mode. This mechanic changes the dynamics of enemy showdowns through cutting insults combined with an intricate facial animation system that bonds dynamic fighting with timed phrase matching. This delivers a completely different kind of storytelling experience. Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch also includes co-op play, where players finish each other's combos, and create havoc in the world's largest mall.
"People have asked me for years why I never made a Jay and Silent Bob video game," said Kevin Smith. "Now I can tell them I was waiting for Justin Woodward from Interabang Ent. and our own Elias to bring it together. Couldn't be happier to hand our characters off to folks who know them as well as I do."
"Kevin Smith's films have long inspired our team," said Interabang founder Justin Woodward. "During development for our first game, we'd take breaks to watch them back to back. The iconic characters, hilarious dialogue, and sheer surrealism of the Askew-niverse got us through rough patches during development and life's struggles. We kept coming back to thinking about how amazing it would be to see Jay and Silent Bob in a game like the ones we design, and we're amazed that we have this opportunity now."
"The first time I heard about Justin creating a game based on Jay and Silent Bob, I wanted it to be a Fig campaign. I mean, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes in a Castle Crasher style brawler, fighting with fists, feet and insults - what's not to like?!" said Justin Bailey, CEO, Fig. "This campaign will provide traditional rewards, and accept accredited investment as well as unaccredited reservations which will be collected once they are re-confirmed after the SEC filing process is complete."
Beginning today at 9AM PT, anyone can help fund the project at Fig.co, the only video game-centric funding platform that offers investment and rewards-based crowdfunding. Fig.co provides game studios and their fans with a more balanced and sustainable approach to game development that helps unite fans, investors and developers.
The Fig campaign funding goal for Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch is $400K and the campaign is open to investment (through Game Shares to be offered by Fig Publishing) and rewards (being offered by Interabang). Rewards range from premium digital goodies and new action figures based on designs from the game, to signed custom Kevin Smith-style jerseys and a walk-on in Kevin Smith's next movie!

Fig Publishing Inc. will be offering and selling Jay and Silent Bob (JASB) Game Shares to accredited investors under Rule 506(c) of the rules of the US. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), and will be taking reservations for JASB Game Shares from unaccredited investors in a subsequent offering under Regulation A of the rules of the SEC. Investments in JASB Game Shares will start at $250. Before Fig Publishing can collect on reservations in the Regulation A offering, the Regulation A offering must be qualified by the SEC. In order for this to happen, Fig Publishing must draft a detailed offering statement and gather other information in compliance with SEC rules, file the offering statement and exhibits with the SEC, and revise the offering statement and exhibits to respond to one or more rounds of written comments and questions from the SEC. When the SEC has finished commenting, it will declare the offering qualified, and Fig Publishing will then re-confirm reservations, collect on the re-confirmed reservations and deliver Games Shares to the re-confirmed investors. It's important to point out that this is a typical process for companies seeking to offer securities to unaccredited investors. During the process, reserved investors and anyone else will be able to view Fig Publishing's latest public preliminary offering circular for the Game Shares on Fig.co and on the EDGAR portion of the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

PETALUMA, Calif., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lowepro today announced an update to its award-winning photo and lifestyle backpack with the Photo Hatchback AW II series.

A storm-flap closure provides an extra moisture barrier. Cinch it closed, pull up on the grab handles and remove the box to turn the Photo Hatchback AW II into a fully functional daypack.
The Photo Hatchback AW II includes a separate CradleFit(TM) pocket to suspend and protect a tablet; a built-in All Weather AW Cover(TM) to safeguard gear from the elements; a newly designed back panel with comfortable, moisture-wicking padding at shoulders and lower back for optimal air flow; storage pockets for personal items; exterior water bottle pockets; plus a reflective loop for an extra attachment and visibility.
Photo Hatchback 150 AW II ($89.95 US MSRP) fits a mirrorless or compact DSLR with attached lens, extra lens, action camera, accessories, personal items and an 8-inch tablet.

Consumers now have greater control and creativity in experiencing all the content and offers that often get overlooked in the daily email blur.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160223/336343

"The traditional email model is old and broken, and everybody battles the daily newsletter content overload in their Inbox," said Raffaele Colella, Co-founder of My Blend. "My Blend is the first step towards better email, turning that daily battle into a beautiful personalized magazine by aggregating email content from publishers, blogs and brands, helping deliver a more curated, personalized and ultimately meaningful lifestyle content experience."
My Blend was created by Raffaele Colella (CEO) and Andrew Lai (CTO) and inspired by Colella's experience as co-founder of Cannonball, an email management app focused on productivity and efficiency. The company has just closed $400k in new financing (bringing the total funding to $1.7 million) from a mix of tech and financial investors including Raj Aggarwal (CEO at Localytics), Tom Wisniewski (Partner at Newark Ventures), Mike Dornbrook (former COO of Harmonix), Alessandro Piol (Managing Partner at AlphaPrime), Robert Pozen (former Chairman of MFS Investment Management), and Robert Merton (Nobel Laureate). Doug Williams (former VP of engineering at Zipcar and Runkeeper) and Craig Palli (CSO at Fiksu) sit on the Board of Advisors.

Y Soft Introduces YSoft Labs -- A Tech Innovation Center for Enterprise Office Solutions

Posted on February 23, 2016 at 10:28:01 AM
Y Soft Introduces YSoft Labs -- A Tech Innovation Center for Enterprise Office Solutions
-- Y Soft Eyes New Opportunities beyond Print Management & 3D Printing --
DALLAS and BRNO, Czech Republic, Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Y Soft, a leading enterprise office solutions provider, today announced YSoft Labs, an innovation center that explores emerging enterprise office technologies that will take Y Soft in new product directions while still expanding the company's current business opportunities. YSoft Labs is a result of the company's long-term strategy and commitment to invest half of its profits into research and development activities.
The expansion of the company's research and development also means over 40 new career opportunities for software and hardware engineers, researchers, architects and product and project managers.
The newly formed YSoft Labs will enable the company's expanding research and development teams the freedom to explore novel areas, particularly in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Business Process areas that have the potential for future products and services to help enterprises build and run smarter companies.
In a December 2015 report, Gartner([1]) noted "A majority of business processes will be impacted by the Internet of Things (IoT), creating pressure on IT leaders to evolve systems and infrastructure to adapt."
Y Soft's CTO and board member, Ondrej KrajÃcek commented, "Our development teams are already experimenting with new technologies and pride themselves on staying ahead of trends in the market. The formalization of YSoft Labs with Martin de Martini and R&D is off to a great start already."
"It's an exciting time for Y Soft as we invest in these initial technology areas," said Martin de Martini, Head of YSoft Labs and Y Soft co-founder. "With YSoft Labs, we are bringing together talented teams of developers and project leaders interested in working together to conceive and create the next generation enterprise office products," he added.
Currently, Y Soft's flagship product, YSoft SafeQ, provides enterprise print management and document capture to large and SMB organizations looking to reduce the cost of print services, increase document security and improve workflow productivity. The YSoft Be3D family of 3D printers provides an affordable way for educational institutions to incorporate 3D printing into their curriculum as a learning tool and for manufacturers to cost efficiently prototype or produce finished goods.
With YSoft Labs, Y Soft will expand these two current product areas and demonstrate new capabilities in additional fields for the enterprise. The initial areas of focus for YSoft Labs include:
The Internet of Things Platform - Already incorporated in Y Soft products today, this area will further explore the application possibilities an IoT platform approach brings due to features such as managed deployment, monitoring and configuration and easy development of IoT applications. In this video example showing the potential of this area, YSoft Labs created a pair of robots to simulate the testing of new software features on multifunction printers.
Business Process Management (BPM) - Increasingly, organizations - especially knowledge-based organizations facing rapid growth with a young and very social-oriented workforce - are challenged with standardizing processes to remain productive. Today's BPM solutions are cumbersome and time-consuming and ultimately don't serve the organization as intended.
3D Printers and Workflow Solutions - With the rapid adoption of 3D printing, YSoft Labs will explore the similarities and differences between 2D and 3D printing processes to define best practice workflows for organizations using 3D printing in small form factor manufacturing, education and prototyping. With the belief that 3D printing will become pervasive on the networks of enterprises and universities, many of the print management benefits from YSoft SafeQ apply. Additionally, this area will define new 3D printer designs and capabilities.
Future of Print Management and Document Capture - In this area, Y Soft will continually innovate its flagship product, YSoft SafeQ. As organizations' needs change based on new technology and architecture trends, such as the shared economy, public and hybrid cloud, mobile and advanced digital workflows, YSoft Labs will develop new capabilities for the most forward-thinking customers.
For more information about the multiple R&D and product/project positions available at Y Soft for each of the above initiatives, visit our Careers site, career.ysoft.com. To learn more about YSoft Labs, visit ysoft.com/labs.

Toshiba Image Recognition Processor Delivers Advanced Functionality For Monocular Cameras In ADAS Applications
Fourth-generation processor integrates new hardware accelerators and media processing units
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced the newest addition to its TMPV760 family of image recognition processors for automotive applications. The TMPV7602XBG is suitable for monocular cameras used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and will help designers implement ADAS applications utilizing a cost-optimized camera system with a small form factor.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160222/336160
Featuring 13 hardware-based image recognition accelerators, the TMPV7602XBG incorporates ADAS features that will become part of the camera requirements for the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) in 2018. These include Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Traffic Signal Recognition (TSR), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) / Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), High Beam Assistance (HBA), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW). In addition, the processor supports such new applications as Traffic Light Recognition (TLR) and night-time pedestrian detection.
"With ADAS technology now widely used in new-model vehicles, we are continuing to build our portfolio of image recognition processors that can accommodate a range of functions and capabilities," said Deepak Mithani, senior director of the Mixed Signal Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC. "The TMPV7602XBG was developed to provide high-speed, low-power recognition of images captured by the on-vehicle monocular camera - including pedestrians, traffic lights and signs, road markings and other vehicles - to help ensure safe driving."
ADAS applications are processed concurrently within a typical time window of 50ms inside the image recognition processor and with relatively low power consumption due to the purpose-built hardware accelerators and media processing units. The TMPV7602XBG can process up to five applications concurrently, with very low power consumption, and targets mid- to high-end ADAS designs. Optimizing the circuit to downsize the ADAS monocular camera module enables the device's reduced package size (17mm x 17mm BGA with 521 pins and 0.65mm ball pitch) and an anticipated 50-percent reduction in power consumption.([1])
The TMPV7602XBG integrates new, enhanced CoHOG([2]) accelerators that provide higher image recognition accuracy than previous Toshiba devices, particularly in low-light and night-time conditions. Color-based gradient analysis of images supplied by full-HD (2-megapixel) connected cameras also improves night-time pedestrian detection rates.
Using its heterogeneous multi-core architecture, the new Toshiba processor can handle multiple applications simultaneously in real time. It features newly integrated image processing accelerators and media processing engines supported by floating point units that perform double precision floating-point arithmetic calculations. Operating frequency is 266.7MHz maximum.
Availability
Samples of the TMPV7602XBG image recognition processor will begin shipping in March. Mass production is scheduled for January 2018.

The Nikon DL Premium Compact Series: Putting Pocketable Power And Legendary NIKKOR Lens Precision Into The Hands Of Passionate Photographers
Pairing a Large 1-Inch Sensor with Superior NIKKOR Lens Technology, Nikon's New Compact DL24-85, DL18-50 and DL24-500 Will Help Capture Stunning Images and 4K UHD Video
MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Nikon Inc. announced the new DL Series of premium compact cameras. These pocketable yet powerful imaging tools offer an elite level of imaging prowess that fits easily in one's palm. Equipped with a variety of focal lengths optimized for different types of shooters, the DL24-85, DL18-50 and DL24-500 combine powerful NIKKOR optics with a large 20.8-megapixel (CX-format) 1-inch BSI CMOS sensor to produce stunning image quality and amazingly detailed images, even when shooting in low-light. Cameras in the new DL line will also feature powerful performance, with high-speed Autofocus (AF) and 20 frames-per-second (60 fps with fixed AF) continuous shooting capability for fast action moments, as well as 4K UHD video recording for users to tell their stories in new ways. Ergonomically designed and familiar for advanced users, all three cameras will utilize the new Nikon SnapBridge connectivity to make it easier than ever to shoot and share with ease.
"We recognize consumers' desire for smaller cameras capable of outstanding image quality," said Masahiro Horie, Director of Marketing and Planning, Nikon Inc. "With the new DL line, Nikon is proud to fuse legendary NIKKOR optics with the latest innovations in imaging to provide advanced photographers amazingly compact tools capable of capturing photos and video that even the most discerned professional would be proud of."
The Nikon DL Series: Powerful Performance, Superior Optics
The new DL line of premium compact cameras packs innovative and powerful imaging technology into elegantly designed yet remarkably compact camera bodies, making it easier than ever to carry pure imaging prowess in the palm of one's hand. All of these new cameras are designed with a 20.8-megapixel CX-format (1-inch) BSI CMOS sensor, which when combined with fast, high quality NIKKOR glass, help to create stunning image quality for stills or 4K UHD video. Working alongside the new sensor is the new EXPEED 6A image processor that allows for impressive noise reduction and powerful, fast performance, making it possible to capture stunning low-light street photography, beautiful portraits or spectacular landscapes with ease.
For fleeting moments and fast-action, the DL line incorporates a high-speed hybrid autofocus (AF) system featuring 105 phase detect focus areas (with 171 focus points in contrast detect AF mode), as well as continuous shooting up to an incredible 20 fps, with capability to capture up to a blazing fast 60 fps with focus locked on the first frame. The DL series also features Dual Detect Optical VR technology to compensate for camera shake while handheld or at slower shutter speeds.
Continuing the impressive legacy of NIKKOR glass, each new DL camera features a unique lens design capable of amazing resolution and beautiful background blur (bokeh), with impressively fast apertures. The lens barrel also includes a manual focus ring, giving users enhanced control over focus on any subject.
Each NIKKOR lens is also equipped with a fluorine coating that helps repel dirt, water and oil, and also facilitates easy cleaning. For the first time in a Nikon compact camera, the DL18-50's NIKKOR lens will utilize Nano Crystal Coat to help reduce ghost and flare, particularly useful when shooting at a wide-angle. With the best NIKKOR technologies now integrated into compact camera models, users will be able to capture phenomenal images with amazing detail time and time again.
Control and Versatility
The DL24-85, DL18-50 and DL24-500 put creative control in the hands of each photographer and are all operated using the familiar Nikon DSLR menu design and an assortment of physical controls. The series also supports RAW (NEF) image capture, full PSAM manual controls and over 20 preset creative options, for use in both still and video shooting (including Picture Control, Creative mode, Multiple Exposure Lighten) to help challenge each user to expand their photographic horizons.
The DL line provides the tools to frame nearly every shot, with all three cameras sporting high-resolution 1,037k-dot OLED Touch displays. While the DL24-85 and DL18-50 allow for tilting, the DL24-500's display provides full Vari-angle capability, vitally important when shooting from unique perspectives. Even further customization and control is possible utilizing the hot shoe/accessory shoe available on DL24-85 and DL18-50 models that allows for complete system expandability with the DF-E1 optional electronic viewfinder. The DL24-500 also sports a hot shoe and a stereo microphone input jack, while all three models are compatible with Nikon i-TTL Speedlights.
Seamlessly Shoot and Share
Nikon SnapBridge makes it easier than ever to shoot and share amazing images with friends and family. Available throughout Nikon's newest line of premium compacts, SnapBridge utilizes Bluetooth®(1) low energy technology (BLE) to provide an "always on" connection to a compatible(2) smart device. Users can now seamlessly send images from their camera to a smart device (utilizing the new SnapBridge app) for easy sharing via social networks or to the cloud for instant storage. An unlimited number of thumbnails and 20 GB of storage will also be available for registered Nikon owners and SnapBridge users on Nikon Image Space, Nikon's free image storing service. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi(3) and NFC remain available to help facilitate easy connection and sharing.
Through Nikon SnapBridge, users can also operate their cameras remotely using the app, automatically synchronize time and location information to any image utilizing the camera's constant connection to a compatible smart device, as well as embed information on any image, including copyright or photographers' names. Lastly, firmware updates have never been easier, as Nikon will send registered users firmware information via the new SnapBridge application, directly to their smart device.
4K Video Capability
The DL series will be among Nikon's first compact offerings to support 4K UHD video capability [3840x2160] at 30p, affording users the ability to capture incredibly beautiful video with remarkable detail, all with a compact camera. Multimedia photographers will have free reign over their creative vision with the ability to utilize PSAM selectable exposure modes while recording, alongside popular movie features like HDMI output to an external recorder, slow motion to 1200 fps and the ability to grab stills from video. Other creative video functions available include: Full HD movie, HD movie, Motion Snapshot, Slow motion, 4-second movie, Time-lapse movie, Superlapse movie and Jump cut.
DL24-85: The Premium Compact Camera Ready for Anything
Great for travel, portraits and general photography, the DL24-85 offers pocket-sized imaging power with a fast and versatile 24-85mm focal range. Compatible with 40.5mm threaded filters, the newly designed NIKKOR lens (11 elements in 9 groups) features a 3.6x zoom range (7x with Dynamic Fine Zoom(4)) and a wide f/1.8-2.8 aperture, empowering users to capture a wide variety of subjects with incredible detail and natural bokeh, even in low-light. The 24-85mm offering also features Dual Detect Optical VR, AF bracketing and a tilting Touch OLED display to make composing from creative angles easier than ever.
Exclusive to this DL model is a new Super Macro Mode (1:1) that helps capture even small subjects in life-size detail. Setting manual zoom on the camera to super macro position allows the user close-up shooting at a 35mm equivalent magnification, providing amazing detail whether shooting flowers in bloom or a wandering ladybug. Macro photographers can utilize a variety of camera functions within the mode, including focus bracketing, manual priority AF (M/A) mode and peaking indication, to truly customize the look and feel of every image.
DL18-50: A Premium Pocket Camera That Can Capture It All
For landscape and architecture shooters looking for compact, ultra-wide angle DL option, the DL18-50 provides a solution that fits easily into any photographer's pocket. Starting at a wide 18mm and expanding to 50mm (2.8x zoom, 5.5x with Dynamic Fine Zoom) the camera sports a powerful NIKKOR lens with a wide f/1.8-2.8 aperture that makes it easier than ever to produce natural bokeh in any image, while capturing tack-sharp stills and video. This lens is compatible with 46mm filters and features Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat to help reduce ghosting and flare.
Those who choose the wide-angle DL premium compact can also take advantage of perspective controls to help compensate for image distortion, particularly for shooting tall objects from the ground like landmarks and skyscrapers. Tailored for architecture shooters, this feature helps to capture the correct perspective with ease.
For use with the DL24-85 and DL18-50, a newly designed optional DF-E1 electronic viewfinder (EVF) will be available for discerning photographers who desire for a traditional eye-level viewfinder to frame their photos. The compact DF-E1 features a 2,359k-dot resolution with eye sensor, alongside a tilting mechanism, diopter adjustment and anti-reflection coating, helping provide further clarity and versatility for DL shooters.
DL24-500: Get Close and Connect

Those who choose the wide-angle DL premium compact can also take advantage of perspective controls to help compensate for image distortion, particularly for shooting tall objects from the ground like landmarks and skyscrapers. Tailored for architecture shooters, this feature helps to capture the correct perspective with ease.
For use with the DL24-85 and DL18-50, a newly designed optional DF-E1 electronic viewfinder (EVF) will be available for discerning photographers who desire for a traditional eye-level viewfinder to frame their photos. The compact DF-E1 features a 2,359k-dot resolution with eye sensor, alongside a tilting mechanism, diopter adjustment and anti-reflection coating, helping provide further clarity and versatility for DL shooters.
DL24-500: Get Close and Connect

Combining Nikon's new 1-inch sensor with this impressive super-zoom NIKKOR lens, the DL24-500 is an ideal choice for users eager to photograph and share anything from concerts to wildlife. Featuring an f/2.8-5.6 aperture, this lens (compatible with 55mm filters) integrates the newest NIKKOR technologies to help render amazing images and background blur, even from afar.

"The COOLPIX B700, B500 and A900 provide the lens power needed to get closer to subjects and capture sharp images and HD video."

Additionally, SnapBridge users can take advantage of Nikon's free image storing service, Nikon Image Space, to store up to 20 GB of images and an unlimited number of thumbnail images (up to 2MB) to the cloud, while the application will also send registered users firmware updates directly to their smart device.
COOLPIX B700
The COOLPIX B700 is a compact superzoom camera that offers incredible range and outstanding image quality. Whether trying to capture birds in-flight or the star player from the sidelines, images captured will be rendered in amazing quality thanks to the camera's impressive 20.3-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, even when shooting in low-light. The B700 can capture impressive portraits or landscapes with a phenomenal 60x optical zoom NIKKOR ED glass lens (120x with Dynamic Fine Zoom(4)) that expands from wide-angle to telephoto zoom for accuracy and precision in every shot.

About Robert Kirkman
Since entering the comics scene with his self-published cult-hit Battle Pope in 2000, the Kentucky native has risen to fame as one of the most successful names in comics and entertainment. He is the creator of many popular comic books, including the Eisner Award-winning The Walking Dead, long-running Invincible, all-ages Super Dinosaur, and the atmospheric exorcism comic, Outcast, which was released in June 2014 and recently received a series pickup for CINEMAX with Fox International. Kirkman will serve as creator, writer and executive producer of the series that is slated to release summer 2016. His success and passionate advocacy for creator-owned comics led him to become the first person invited to become a partner at Image Comics since the company's inception twenty-four years ago. In 2010, Robert saw an opportunity to create a transmedia entertainment company that would nurture creators, and give them the resources to create content while retaining creative control of their properties. Partnering with longtime collaborator, and fellow executive producer of The Walking Dead franchise and Outcast, David Alpert, Skybound Entertainment was born. That same year, Kirkman continued to expand his presence in the entertainment industry, becoming a creator, executive producer and writer on The Walking Dead television show. The show will soon begin production on its sixth season and has become the highest-rated basic cable drama of all time. To date The Walking Dead is the #1 on television among the coveted 18-49 demo. Kirkman is also the executive producer and creator of AMC's upcoming companion series Fear The Walking Dead for which he co-wrote the pilot alongside Dave Erickson (Sons of Anarchy, Marco Polo).

When a desperate signal for help draws them to a scene of horrific massacre, Michonne and the crew are lead further to the floating survivors' colony of Monroe, which may just be harboring the person responsible for the carnage.
To date, The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series has sold more than 50 million episodes worldwide, earning more than 100 Game of the Year awards from outlets including Metacritic, USA Today, Wired, Spike TV VGAs, Yahoo!, The Telegraph, Mashable, Polygon, Destructoid and GamesRadar, and was also the recipient of two BAFTA Video Games Awards for Best Story and Best Mobile Game.

About Robert Kirkman
Since entering the comics scene with his self-published cult-hit Battle Pope in 2000, the Kentucky native has risen to fame as one of the most successful names in comics and entertainment. He is the creator of many popular comic books, including the Eisner Award-winning The Walking Dead, long-running Invincible, all-ages Super Dinosaur, and the atmospheric exorcism comic, Outcast, which was released in June 2014 and recently received a series pickup for CINEMAX with Fox International. Kirkman will serve as creator, writer and executive producer of the series that is slated to release summer 2016. His success and passionate advocacy for creator-owned comics led him to become the first person invited to become a partner at Image Comics since the company's inception twenty-four years ago. In 2010, Robert saw an opportunity to create a transmedia entertainment company that would nurture creators, and give them the resources to create content while retaining creative control of their properties. Partnering with longtime collaborator, and fellow executive producer of The Walking Dead franchise and Outcast, David Alpert, Skybound Entertainment was born. That same year, Kirkman continued to expand his presence in the entertainment industry, becoming a creator, executive producer and writer on The Walking Dead television show. The show will soon begin production on its sixth season and has become the highest-rated basic cable drama of all time. To date The Walking Dead is the #1 on television among the coveted 18-49 demo. Kirkman is also the executive producer and creator of AMC's upcoming companion series Fear The Walking Dead for which he co-wrote the pilot alongside Dave Erickson (Sons of Anarchy, Marco Polo).

FCC Set Top Box Decision Puts FreeCast on Top
The web-TV leader's heavy investment in media SaaS IP and state-of-the-art set top box hardware leaves them ready and waiting for this moment.
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With the FCC's decision to unlock the lucrative set top box market, a tidal wave of innovation and competition is expected in that space. But as the tech giants head to the drawing board, the maker of popular web-based media guide Rabbit TV Plus is all but ready to deliver a finished product.
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160222/335956
This decision comes amid FreeCast's own imminent rollout of Select TV, a new commercial service platform, boasting integration with new set top box hardware that captivated attention at the Showstoppers media reception during the CES Show 2016. The hardware will be dubbed "One" because with the new possibilities for third party set top boxes, it will serve as the one device for everything consumers need, replacing potentially dozens of devices from Apple TV and Roku-style app managers to DVR equipment from cable providers or TiVo.
Select TV and the associated One hardware are already launching, and will soon reach retail where FreeCast has proven strength, having sold over 4 million subscriptions to its popular Rabbit TV Plus service through a partnership with Telebrands. Like Rabbit TV, Select TV and the One set top box will be available in over 35,000 nationwide retailers including Walmart, Target, Sears, Walgreens, CVS, Bed Bath & Beyond, Office Depot, and more.
"We've been building for this day literally for years now, so the opportunities before us are simply massive. We have the ability to put everything that the web has to offer right alongside the full offering that you'd get from your pay-TV provider today. As we speak, we're already partnering with telcos, wireless providers, cable companies, and manufacturers. On the hardware note, we're also already working with a top 5 global television manufacturer to develop the world's first Internet TV with full PC functionality. This will bring consumers everything they could ever want to watch, without the need for any additional device at all!" FreeCast CEO William Mobley claimed.
FreeCast has spent years and millions of dollars developing a tremendous amount of intellectual property in anticipation of a day like this. The company boasts a proven, easy-to-use service to organize and deliver over 250,000 movies, 350,000 TV episodes, 1000 streaming channels, a full calendar of live events, and more; literally everything consumers watch on the web. Already having developed a commercial back end that can manage all of the various OTT content inputs and bring them together in a single interface, no company is better positioned than FreeCast to meet the current market demand and bring all of the benefits of the FCC's recent decision to consumers' hands faster.

Zenfolio is the first in the industry to offer this convenience, which guarantees compliance with all laws and regulations.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150309/180518LOGO
Every website that collects personal data, whether it's a lifestyle blog, news site or recipe database, is required by law to have a clearly visible Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions section.

To alleviate the stress of having to create these sections, Zenfolio will now provide a combined User Agreement/Privacy Policy for all Zenfolio websites. Additionally, an optional "Powered by Zenfolio" icon can be added to users' pages to deflect potential legality issues and responsibilities from the user to Zenfolio. Users will still have the option to create additional Terms of Use or Privacy Policy page (as a Custom Page), if needed.
"This specific launch means professional photographers can spend quality time on what matters most - their business, not drafting legal documents for their site," said Arnaud Collin, Zenfolio general manager. "The new User Agreement/Privacy Policy feature is proof that our users' feedback, preferences and needs are always the catalyst for product innovation at Zenfolio."
Additionally, Zenfolio recently added the ability for photographers to automatically send scheduled series of emails to their clients and introduced mobile shopping, one-click selling features, and impressive platform enhancements in the past few months.

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced the latest addition to its lineup of big-pixel sensors, the OV13870 PureCel(®)Plus-S image sensor. The 13-megapixel OV13870 is capable of recording 1080p high definition (HD) video at 240 frames per second (FPS) for slow motion, quadruple the frame rate of the previous generation 13-megapixel sensor. The OV13870 also features a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to enable better low-light signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), phase detection auto focus (PDAF) for snap-quick focusing, and dedicated support for dual-camera functionality.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160218/334954
"The trend towards bigger pixels is picking up as the resolution race slows down, making the OV13870's larger 1.25-micron pixel and high-speed architecture well-suited for premium mobile applications," said Manish Shelat, senior product marketing manager at OmniVision. "The OV13870's enhanced dual camera capability can provide key functionality to device makers as they address the growing trend of dual aperture cameras in mobile imaging that enable advanced features and better image quality."
Built on OmniVision's new 1.25-micron PureCel®Plus-S pixel architecture, the OV13870 delivers best-in-class pixel performance with significant improvements in low-light performance and crosstalk reduction while maintaining an optical format of 1/2.6-inch and a compact, 5.2 mm module height that is ideal for slim smartphones. The OV13870 features significantly better overall pixel performance compared to previous generation 13-megapixel image sensors.
The OV13870 can capture full-resolution 13-megapixel still images at 45 FPS or record ultra-high resolution 4K2K video at 60 FPS, 1080p full high definition (HD) at 240 FPS, or 720p HD at 300 FPS with binning and cropping.
The OV13870 is currently available for sampling, and is expected to enter volume production in the second quarter of 2016.

DALLAS, Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) announced the addition of an entry infotainment processor for display audio, radio/audio and other cost-sensitive in-vehicle segments to the "Jacinto 6" family of System-on-Chips (SoCs). The new DRA71x processor, "Jacinto 6 Entry," is developed on the same architecture as other "Jacinto 6" devices, enabling automotive manufacturers to scale their investment without additional R&D or significant bill of material (BOM) increases to deliver a diverse portfolio of products with hardware and software compatibility. The scalable performance within DRA71x allows developers to target specific performance for their applications and leverage headroom using higher performance variants, if required, without software modifications or hardware changes.
"Jacinto 6 Entry": Differentiation and cost-optimization
The DRA71x "Jacinto 6 Entry" processor is the lowest cost, feature-optimized member of the "Jacinto 6" family, extending the DRA72x "Jacinto 6 Eco" processor into more cost-sensitive applications and systems. TI's DRA71x delivers car manufacturers with unprecedented integration of automotive features and interfaces for a processor at the entry-level of infotainment systems. As a result, the BOM is reduced and software investments leveraging the "Jacinto 6" family are protected, including high-level operating systems such as Linux, QNX and Android on ARM® Cortex®-A15 cores, as well as DSP and other cores.
TI's DRA71x delivers an optimized set of performance and features to address the display audio and entry infotainment segments including:
-- An integrated TMS320C66x DSP for software-defined radio (SDR)
integration, audio/speech processing, noise suppression and
camera/imaging processing
-- Video decode/processing capability with 1080p60 decoding at greater than
30Mbps to support concurrent high-quality smartphone screen replication
(including 3-D maps) and on-board video acceleration for multimedia
playback
-- Highest memory bandwidth at 32-bit DDR3 EMIF at 667 MHz for a
best-in-class HMI, HD display support and improved auto concurrencies
-- Integrated video ports for integrating support for NHTSA-required
rear-visibility technology or other camera applications
-- ARM Cortex-M4 cores as auxiliary processors to offload high-interrupt
load tasks from the main ARM core and provide physical separation
between High Level Operating System (HLOS) and real-time operating

Chocolate Preferred enables programmatic deals via Deal ID or directly for mobile advertisers on a guaranteed and non-guaranteed basis and supports newer Mobile Outstream & Native video formats as well as In-stream Pre-roll ad units.
"It's no secret that mobile video is one of the fastest growing areas in programmatic but it's not easy to create a private marketplace deal with an app or mobile site that matches an advertiser's desired audience," said Saurabh Bhatia, CEO, Vdopia. ""We wanted to make private marketplace deals in mobile video as simple as on desktop. To offer preferred real time access to this inventory to our brand advertisers on both a guaranteed and non-guaranteed basis is a game-changer. Now advertiser's can slice and dice their perfect mobile video audience and buy directly through their favorite dsp."
Also announced today is the 'Chocolate Supply Side Platform' or SSP for premium mobile publishers. The Chocolate SSP solves a need for publishers of how to manage new mobile video formats such as outstream and in-stream video for mobile web and app inventory. The supply platform enables access to preferred demand & multiple other demand sources & programmatic partners.
"The Chocolate SSP is unique; it's a mobile video only supply platform focused on the pain points for mobile publishers - managing SDK's, VAST & JS tags across multiple providers & ad servers, improving yield, fill and managing passbacks. Plus the way we run our auction takes into account both brand and performance advertisers and their respective goals." Martin Price Vdopia SVP of Product explained "Our aim is not only to generate the highest yield for publishers, but to help improve the user experience of our partners sites and apps by showing better performing video ad units to the segments of their audience that will interact with them the most."
The product releases come on the back of two high profile hires in 2015: Price joined Vdopia from OpenX where he was VP of Product, and Giuseppe Di Mauro, ex-Pubmatic, joined as SVP of Engineering.
Vdopia operates the industry's only mobile video-only programmatic platform, called Chocolate, which is powered by its proprietary .VDO technology. Vdopia also last year launched InView, a native video ad format for mobile, which is highly transparent and certified viewability-measurable - a much-talked-about topic in the industry.

TAG Heuer Unveils its "Connected Watch" and Exclusive Ambassador Watch Faces at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition

TAG Heuer Unveils its "Connected Watch" and Exclusive Ambassador Watch Faces at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition
DOHA, Qatar, February 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Luxury Swiss Watchmaker Looks to the Future with Innovative Offering and commitment to
be #ConnectedToEternity Â
Today, TAG Heuer hosted the exclusive Middle East unveiling of the TAG Heuer Connected
Watch at this year's Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition. The exhibition, now in its
12th year, is one of the most exclusive in the world for HNWI to view and purchase unique
watches, jewellery, diamonds and precious stones. With the Connected Watch, engineered
with Intel technology and benefiting from everything the Android Wear universe has to
offer, TAG Heuer has created the world's first luxury smart timepiece, and have chosen
DJWE to showcase to the Middle East the pioneering technology and elegant style of their
latest innovation.
What is the TAG Heuer Connected Watch?Â
The TAG Heuer Connected Watch with Intel Inside is a luxury watch that benefits from
over 150 years of Swiss expertise, savoir-faire and heritage as cultivated by TAG Heuer, a
watch manufacture based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the cradle of Swiss watchmaking and a UNESCO
World Heritage site set at an altitude of 1,000 metres, in the middle of Alpine pastures
and mountains.
Here, watchmakers have been spending the winter in their workshops (in summer, they
farm in the pastures) since the 18th century, inventing incredible watches, which have
built the unique reputation and extraordinary image of quality and exclusivity that Swiss
watches enjoy the world over. For more than 150 years, TAG Heuer has been inventing and
manufacturing elegant sports watches in the city, including some of the most accurate
chronographs produced by the Swiss watch industry.
At 46 mm in diameter, the design of the TAG Heuer Connected is primarily that of a
true chronograph, with a case, back and lugs made from grade 2 titanium, a contemporary
material ensuring the watch is lighter and more resistant to impacts than a traditional
material such as steel or gold. Completed by a textured black rubber strap (six other
colors - red, blue, white, orange, green and yellow - are available, sold separately) with
a deploying buckle made of grade 2 titanium as well, it has all the elegance,
characteristics and level of finish expected from a fine wristwatch.
To reinforce its watch DNA...Â
For the first time, TAG Heuer has developed three digital watch dials (known as watch
faces), which feature the immediately recognizable design codes of TAG Heuer's Carrera
collection, including hands, index, counters, date window and minute track.
The following will be available from the launch date: the chronograph dial, the 3-hand
dial and the GMT dial, all of which display the date and are available in a choice of
three colors (black, deep blue or pearl white), faithfully reproducing the appearance and
functions of a true dial, with shadows under the hands and the beautiful sunburst effect
of the light. And because the TAG Heuer Connected is above all a watch, the digital hands
and indexes remain visible at all times, even when the watch is in ambient energy-saving
mode.
And to make it even more uniqueÂ
The TAG Heuer Connected is a true watch, both in terms of its appearance, with its
watch faces and its minute tracks, but also in its "interactive counters", thanks to the
unique way in which its applications are displayed.
The principle is simple: the dial and the hands remain, while the most pertinent
information from partner applications is elegantly displayed inside the three counters on
the chronograph dial at 12, 6 and 9 o'clock, completely integrated into the watch's
aesthetic environment.
What if something shown in a counter really interests you? Touch the counter in
question to open and interact with the application in full screen mode.
Favorite applications, sports updates or alerts... it is easy to use and makes
information simple to read, enabling the user to stay focused on the essential, without
this spoiling the watch's classic appearance. The apps customized for TAG Heuer and
available on an exclusive basis will be, to start with, Insiders (lifestyle), GolfShot Pro
(golf), RaceChrono Pro (motor racing) and Viewrangers (trailing), which will be offered
with free subscriptions. A specially developed Software Development Kit (SDK) will allow
enrichment.
In addition, TAG Heuer has added the classic functions that are a key part of the
watch universe: Timer, Alarm and Stopwatch, the design of which is faithful to the brand's
codes.
Smart. But to what extent?Â
Living, travelling, getting information, connecting... the TAG Heuer Connected watch
is the perfect partner. It brings together the best of both worlds: a magnificent TAG
Heuer watch with computing intelligence.
TAG Heuer worked closely with Intel and Google to create a luxury watch that combined
connectivity and computing intelligence with Swiss watchmaking heritage. The watch
features an Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor Z34XX and runs the Android Wear platform.
Intel engineered the intelligence inside the watch to optimize performance and enable
a multitude of connectivity options including audio streaming, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well
as allow users to harness the full range of features offered by the Android Wear operating
system.
With 4 GB of memory, and all day battery life thanks to its latest-generation lithium
battery, the TAG Heuer Connected is equipped with a small microphone to communicate with
via Google voice control and a sapphire crystal touchscreen - the indispensable complement
to the crown at 3 o'clock which also houses controls. The entire piece has been made water
resistant for everyday use and is IP67 water resistance rated.
What if the phone is not with you? No problem. The watch will continue to calculate,
display, and exchange data, and as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection it will remain
connected to the cloud. Naturally, its resident applications (music, timer, alarm, step
counter) remain active even when no connection is available.
Android Wear opens the watch up to an almost infinite universe, an ecosystem that
enriches itself night and day: thousands of Android applications are already available for
the TAG Heuer Connected watch user to download. The key applications, currently used by
millions, such as Google Fit, Google Translate, Google Maps and Google Search with your
voice are already available on the watch, and show you information with just a glance.
The watch can also be easily synced with a phone running either on Android 4.3+ or iOS
8.2+. It is charged using a contact charger. Simply place the watch on top to recharge it.
The watch also benefits from a two-year warranty, like other TAG Heuer watches.
A connected watch that can also be a timeless giftÂ
Finally anyone who purchases a TAG Heuer Connected watch will have the opportunity to
exchange it for a mechanical watch with real Swiss movement inside.
At the end of the connected watch's two-year warranty period, customers can go to the
TAG Heuer store of his or her choice to exchange the TAG Heuer Connected watch for a
mechanical Swiss Made Carrera watch. With similar design, also made from grade 2 titanium,
this mechanical watch has been exclusively developed and reserved for owners of connected
watches. Its price is set at 1500 USD, 1'350 Euros, 1'400 CHF, 1'100 GBP.
To complete the experience, an online platform that brings all users togetherÂ
A dedicated online platform tagheuerconnected.com [http://www.tagheuer.com ] has been
created to share the latest new features and obtain the partner applications available for
the interactive counters watch faces. The TAG Heuer Connected watch is available for sale
right now from the site tagheuer.com [http://www.tagheuer.com ] and in more than 100 TAG
Heuer boutiques and 150 carefully selected retailers across the world. The list of points
of sale can be viewed at tagheuerconnected.com [http://www.tagheuer.com ]
The FacesÂ
Along with the launch of the watch itself, TAG Heuer also unveiled an exclusive
collection of watch faces co-designed by 10 prestigious ambassadors for the "TAG Heuer
Connected" watch.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Football), David Guetta and the Nervo Sisters (Music), Tom Brady
(American Football), Kei Nishikori (Tennis), Giancarlo Stanton (Baseball), Jeremy Lin
(Basketball), Jessica Korda (Golf), G.E.M. (Music) et Kai Lenny (Surf); all of them wanted
to be involved in the adventure and the success that is the "TAG Heuer Connected" watch.
They all took a pencil and - together with Jean-Claude Biver, TAG Heuer CEO &
President of the LVMH Watch Division - designed a watch face which is not only
personalized and exclusive, but also contains cues to their individual universe. Â As a
result, 11 original watch face designs developed exclusively for the "TAG Heuer Connected
" watch are now available on the exclusive TAG Heuer Connected app. Â
The TAG Heuer Connected Watch will only be available exclusively with our partner Al
Majed Group on the TAG Heuer stand during the DJWF until its official Middle-East launch
in Spring 2016. Â
About TAG HeuerÂ
TAG Heuer, The Swiss Avant-Garde watchmaker since 1860. Avant-garde is in our culture
and philosophy. Our unique heritage is built on pushing boundaries and breaking rules:
harnessing mental fortitude to overcome technology restraints and create daring luxury
watches with real racing spirit and a performance touch. The brand has marked the history
of watchmaking, especially in the field of chronographs with an unequalled mechanical
accuracy.
With Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of TAG Heuer and President of the LVMH Group Watch
Division at the helm, the 2015 models reveal a new dynamic in terms of both the fast lead
times and a completely transformed environment. TAG Heuer is currently the only watch
brand to be able to communicate in the four different worlds: Art, Lifestyle, Sport and
Heritage. Our partnerships (Bundesliga, World Surf League & Big Wave Tour, FIA Formula E,
Monaco Grand Prix...) and our ambassadors, living football legend Cristiano Ronaldo,
it-girl Cara Delevingne, American Quaterback Tom Brady, DJs David Guetta & Martin Garrix,
Chinese singer GEM & actor Li Yifeng, tennis superstar Maria Sharapova... they all reflect
common core values of mental strength, disruptive attitude and ambition. Our slogan
#DontCrackUnderPressure is far more than a claim - it is a mindset. TAG Heuer is part of
the LVMH Group.

Attensity Europe Relaunches as Sematell
SAARBRÃCKEN, Germany, February 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
- Focus on omni-channel customer communications Â
- Rebranding reaffirms company's independence Â
- Respond renamed ReplyOneÂ
- Cross reference: Picture is available at AP Images (http://www.apimages.com) -
(Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160223/336251LOGO )
Attensity Europe, the leading provider of interaction solutions, is now trading as
Sematell. The move sees the specialist provider of contact centre software reaffirm its
independence and repositioning following the firm's carve-out from its American parent
company in January 2016.
Software intelligence for contact centres
The name Sematell is a blend of the words "semantic" and "intelligence" and the verb
"to tell". In choosing this branding, the Saarbruecken software company is both alluding
to its roots and looking to the future. The company was long based at the German Research
Center for Artificial Intelligence, where it worked with the host institution to jointly
develop the outstanding categorisation algorithm that has been constantly refined ever
since and finds application in the ReplyOne (previously Respond) response management
solution. The software provider's future direction is also clearly expressed in its choice
of name: Â
"With ReplyOne we are already one of Europe's leading solution providers for written
customer communications. This is a position we plan to reinforce and expand upon with
solutions on the basis of artificial intelligence," explained Thomas Dreikauss, CEO of
Sematell GmbH. "Our goal is to be the technology and market leader in this specialised
field. We are well on the way to achieving that objective with our innovative solutions as
a newly independent company."
Respond renamed ReplyOneÂ
The central response management solution, Respond, has also been rebranded and now
goes by the name of ReplyOne. The omni-channel platform for written customer
communications is based on flexible system architecture, making it easy to integrate in
both upstream and downstream systems, including ERP, CRM and knowledge management systems.
The response management solution offers highly scalable, multi-client processing of
all written communications channels including social media. Incoming queries are analysed
at speeds of up to 3,000 words per second in more than 40 languages, compared against data
from third-party systems and answered concisely with the desired degree of automation.
ReplyOne's capacity for fast and precise responses not only eliminates potential sources
of error, thereby ensuring much higher customer satisfaction levels, but, as an integral
element of strategic customer experience management, also helps companies to maximise
their profitability and competitiveness.
Sematell is premiering its rebranding and innovative new solutions on the ReplyOne
platform at the CCW, the International Conference and Trade Show on the Customer Service,
Communication and Contact Centre Industry, taking place in Berlin from 23 to 25 February,
where it will be showcasing its offering in hall 3, booth E12/F9.

Microchip Announces the Industry's First Development Kit for Integrated 2D Projected Capacitive Touch (PCAP) and 3D Gestures on Displays
The 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Development Kit Allows Designers to Easily Integrate Microchip's Innovative 2D and 3D Solutions in Their Applications
CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the industry's first development kit for integrated 2D projective capacitive touch (PCAP) and 3D gesture recognition on displays - the 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Development Kit (DV102014). The kit will provide designers easy access to Microchip's patented 2D and 3D GestIC(®) sensing technology, allowing them to easily integrate 2D multi-touch and 3D hand gesture recognition into their display applications. The use of electric-field based technology enables hand and finger gestures to now be tracked both on the display surface as well as above at a distance of up to 20 cm. In addition, the development kit provides an easy-to-use, "out-of-the-box" experience that requires no code development. Parameterization, diagnostics and optional settings are done through Aurea 2.0, a free downloadable graphical user interface (GUI).
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141115/158835LOGO
The 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Development Kit features Microchip's latest PCAP controller, MTCH6303, with the MGC3130 3D gesture controller. It includes an eight-inch transparent touch sensor to enable rapid prototyping for widely available displays. The MTCH6303 provides multi-touch coordinates with a five-finger scan rate of 100 Hz. In addition, it has an integrated multi-finger surface gesture suite which makes it a good fit both for Operating System (OS) driven applications as well as embedded systems without an operating system.
The MGC3130 with Microchip's award-winning GestIC technology was the first electrical-field-based 3D gesture controller to offer low-power, precise, and robust hand position tracking at 200 Hz. In addition, GestIC technology utilizes advanced Hidden Markov Models to ensure that the recognition rate for 3D hand gestures is above 95%. Free-space hand gestures are universal, hygienic and easy to learn, making them ideal for display applications.
"Microchip has been an industry leader in developing gesture-based technologies since the launch of GestIC," said Dr. Roland Aubauer, director of Microchip's Human-Machine Interface Division, "GestIC technology is a low complexity solution for adding 3D features to display applications that combine seamlessly with 2D PCAP multi-touch designs. Designers now have an easy way to combine 2D and 3D user interface technologies in order to build innovative and easy to use applications."

The 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Development Kit Allows Designers to Easily Integrate Microchip's Innovative 2D and 3D Solutions in Their Applications
CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the industry's first development kit for integrated 2D projective capacitive touch (PCAP) and 3D gesture recognition on displays - the 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Development Kit (DV102014). The kit will provide designers easy access to Microchip's patented 2D and 3D GestIC(®) sensing technology, allowing them to easily integrate 2D multi-touch and 3D hand gesture recognition into their display applications. The use of electric-field based technology enables hand and finger gestures to now be tracked both on the display surface as well as above at a distance of up to 20 cm. In addition, the development kit provides an easy-to-use, "out-of-the-box" experience that requires no code development. Parameterization, diagnostics and optional settings are done through Aurea 2.0, a free downloadable graphical user interface (GUI).

The 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Development Kit features Microchip's latest PCAP controller, MTCH6303, with the MGC3130 3D gesture controller. It includes an eight-inch transparent touch sensor to enable rapid prototyping for widely available displays. The MTCH6303 provides multi-touch coordinates with a five-finger scan rate of 100 Hz. In addition, it has an integrated multi-finger surface gesture suite which makes it a good fit both for Operating System (OS) driven applications as well as embedded systems without an operating system.
The MGC3130 with Microchip's award-winning GestIC technology was the first electrical-field-based 3D gesture controller to offer low-power, precise, and robust hand position tracking at 200 Hz. In addition, GestIC technology utilizes advanced Hidden Markov Models to ensure that the recognition rate for 3D hand gestures is above 95%. Free-space hand gestures are universal, hygienic and easy to learn, making them ideal for display applications.
"Microchip has been an industry leader in developing gesture-based technologies since the launch of GestIC," said Dr. Roland Aubauer, director of Microchip's Human-Machine Interface Division, "GestIC technology is a low complexity solution for adding 3D features to display applications that combine seamlessly with 2D PCAP multi-touch designs. Designers now have an easy way to combine 2D and 3D user interface technologies in order to build innovative and easy to use applications."
