Elo TouchTools Web Enabler ----------- Release 1.00a Elo TouchSystems, Inc. (A Raychem Company) August 19, 1997 Web Enabler is the software product that allows developers to turn their Web sites into public touchscreen kiosk applications. The program functions as an overlay to Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Support of standard browsers means you can use all the latest browser features like Java, ActiveX, ShockWave and animated GIF's. Web Enabler's large finger-size buttons line a frame around the browser making it usable by anyone that steps up to the screen. You define what happens when the user presses these buttons. Among other functions, you can load web pages, change the button sets, perform browser functions, or launch other full screen programs. With Web Enabler you don't have to be a programmer to create a custom touchscreen-based multimedia kiosk. You can build interactive kiosk applications using standard web page development tools, without the need for proprietary multimedia applications or developing your own multimedia engines. Web Enabler works with "live" content using internet/intranet connections with local content on the hard drive or a combination of both. When connected "live" to the internet Web Enabler restricts access to only the sites and web pages you specify. Define an attract loop to draw users to your kiosk. Record all user interaction with the kiosk to identify trends in customer usage. You'll discover many more features while using Web Enabler. Chapter 3 in the User's Guide describes the steps to get your application up and running quickly.
