Snowflake Suite 1.6.2 update released

Natural User Interface Technologies AB released Snowflake Suite 1.6.2, both for rear camera based solutions, as well as NextWindow.

A free evaluation of Snowflake Suite 1.6.2 can be downloaded by clicking the button below.

A few things that have been solved for NextWindow are:

+ Fixed issues with installing third-party tools required for running Snowflake

We made all the external packages now compulsory to install, to avoid that people disabled some packages while installing, resulting in Snowflake not working, as its correct functioning is dependent on the installation of these third party packages.

Added:
+ Added video of the new logo into Viewer
+ Added support for showing a screen saver

We noticed quite some people having issues with getting multi-touch enabled. Please be sure to read the manual, as it is described how to change this setting in your operating system, in order to enable multi-touch.

We welcome any feedback that you might have, so that we can try to include that in our next release. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Furthermore we would like to remind you, that if you order 2 Snowflake Suite licenses for the NextWindow platform, that you receive 3 months of upgrades for free, as well as a free IPOD touch.

Some people reported a flickering display, updating your video card driver to the latest version of your video card manufacturer solves this problem.
