Visionect Introduces a New Way To Develop e-Reader Apps

Here is a device that comes with a familiar e-ink display and can pass on as another ebook reader but is unlike any out there. Rather, Visionect, a Slovenian startup would like to call its e-ink based device as a platform that is designed to make it convenient for users to develop e-ink based apps based on HTML5, CSS and Javascript easily. The system can be used to develop even complex apps and allows developers to have an idea of what the app will look like in reality in an e-ink based device. Another stand-out feature of the device is that most of the processing is done at the Visionect servers, which also explains the use of a rather meager 120 Mhz chip to power the device. The working is seamless though and users won’t ever have any inkling of the device merely acting as a terminal in most of the cases with the processing being carried out at Visionect Servers. This is much like the Chromebook strategy of using slightly low powered hardware while relying on cloud computing to get the work done. The obvious benefit of such a setup is keeping a check on the price, which in this case is 239 Euros ($320). The device also boasts of gsensor and Wi-Fi connectivity. Other tech specs include a 6 inch capacitive e-ink display that is encased in a sturdy water proof casing that can take quite a beating. Visionect also mentions companies such as Plastic Logic, eInk, Epson, ST as its key partners. The company also claims to have delivered solutions to Sony, Samsung and such. The Wemar Nautipad pictured above is also based on the Visionect hardware that acts as a boat information display and can be used as an interactive control system to aid in navigation. Visionect products can also be used as a product information display system, as has been done by Slovenia’s biggest telecom company in their stores.
