Future Development of Gestureworks Flash

With the release of Gestureworks Core, we want to ensure to our Flash users that ActionScript development will not slow down. The Gestureworks Flash team is now larger and more skilled than it has ever been in past. We are adding new features and components, and integrating developments from Adobe, such as Worker threads, and GPU-acceleration. We are also adding support for exciting new technologies such the Leap Motion, which will give you 3d motion gestures. Feb 6, 2013 - Last year we saw modifications to Gestureworks Flash that made it not only the fastest Flash-based gesture processor engine available, but one of the fastest in any language. Among else, Flash users also saw the addition of over 50 plug-and-play user interface elements/components, which can be configured through XML and CSS. Like Gestureworks Core and many other Flash libraries, Gestureworks Flash is moving to a subscription-based model to better manage upgrades and support. All licensed version 3.x users will be automatically enrolled into a one-year subscription for ticketed support and free upgrades. The new support system includes an overhauled direct-to-developer issue tracker and a community-based forum. (Please see the new license as you download updates and upgrades.) We anticipate several major releases in the next year. Here’s a peek into what we have planned for the Gestureworks Flash 2013 roadmap: Gestureworks GML: - 3d motion gestures - leap motion integration - gesture sequencing  - gesture recording - stylus support - pressure augmented gestures - bimanual gestures - multimodal gestures - advanced clustering options (proximity, device-base, and blended clustering models) - accelerometer support for mobile devices Gestureworks CML: - new ui elements and components (accordion, 3D model viewer, etc.) - seamless database integration - display object cloning - integrated audio feedback layer - GPU-acceleration  - Starling integration - Away3D integration - multithreaded architecture - CML messaging  - CML expressions - CML state machine

Gestureworks Flash 3.5.2

Feb 6, 2013 - Gestureworks 3.5.2 Flash is now available in the downloads section. This is a patch update to fix outstanding bugs and to deliver feature requests, specifically in the ScrollPane and Album elements. We also included several new GML examples to help you get starting using the Gesture Markup Language. Updates include:

* FIXED: Taps not working in the Simulator * FIXED: ClusterBubbling error when touchsprite contains non-touchsprite child * FIXED: CML include tag incorrectly ordering the display list * ADDED: AlbumViewer linking to link back and front Album objects providing individual info panels for each item * ADDED: Album loop mode to allow continuous scrolling of items * ADDED: Album dimension settings to display more then one item at a time * ADDED: Exposed settings to enable interaction of Album items * CHANGED: Improved ScrollPane and ScrollBar UI elements

To update from a previous version please log in to the Gestureworks Flash Forums.

New users can take a 30-day test drive with a free download.

Dec 3, 2012 - As we have have mentioned in a prior post, we are currently working towards releasing Gestureworks Core for C++, .NET, JAVA, and Python. Gestureworks Core is now available as an Alpha version.  Along with amazingly fast gesture processing, Gestureworks Core supports over 300 gestures and the Gesture Markup Language.

Gestureworks Core can also work on multiple screens simultaneously and it works “out of the box” with the Leap motion device, providing support for 2D and 3D gestures. Check out the video above.

You can apply to try the Alpha version of Gestureworks Core (Java will be available in a few weeks). The full release of Gestureworks for all development platforms is coming in early 2013.

Gestureworks Core (Alpha) for C++, .NET, and Python

Feb 6, 2013 - For the past three years Gestureworks has been the most advanced multitouch authoring solution for ActionScript, and we’re now tackling new platforms. Gestureworks Core for C++, .NET, and Python is now available as an Alpha version. You can apply to try this new version. We will release Java bindings in early January. The full release of Gestureworks for all development platforms is coming in early 2013.

Gestureworks Core is an incredibly efficient processing engine which like our ActionScript version supports over 300+ gestures. It comes with an advanced gesture analyzer and unlike many other authoring platforms which simply recognize multiple X & Y coordinates, it is intelligent enough to determine that multiple touch points are hands (clusters) and recognize their orientation.

Again like our ActionScript version, the new Gestureworks core fully supports our Gesture markup language (GestureML). This markup standard was introduced last year. GestureML allows all gestures and other interactions (like friction, inertia and other qualities) to remain external to a compiled application.

Gestureworks 3.5 is here!

Feb 6, 2013 - Gestureworks 3.5 is now available! This comprehensive new release has improved gesture processing, a built-in physics engine, and support for hundreds of gestures. The new version simplifies multitouch authoring for Windows 7 and Windows 8. In addition, Gestureworks 3.5 has improved support for the Gesture Markup Language (GML) and the Creative Markup language (CML). The new version has support for over 50 new UI elements and pre-built, customizable components.

A free upgrade is available for 3.0 Professional and Site License users. Check out our the Gestureworks Updates & Updgrades page to download the new version. Standard users and 1x and 2x version users can receive a coupon for discount on the upgrade.

We will continue to add to our extensive list of tutorials and documentation over coming weeks and months. Check back on our site for more information or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
