Halftone 2 Comic Creation App Adds 3D Perspective and Custom Shapes - Published on 03/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Juicy Bits today announces Halftone 2, an update to its Apple Editors' Choice and App Store Best of 2013 winner Universal app for iOS. Halftone 2 re-imagines what it means to turn your photos into professionally-themed comic book pages on a touch device. Version 1.2 introduces a new perspective feature that enables users to interactively tilt and rotate their graphic elements. The update also adds support for user-defined graphic shapes, making it easy to incorporate custom photos and artwork.

Sammamish, Washington - Halftone 2, an Apple Editors' Choice and App Store Best of 2013 winner, has added a new perspective feature that enables users to interactively tilt and rotate their graphic elements. The update also adds support for user-defined graphic shapes, making it easy to incorporate custom photos and artwork.

"The new 3D perspective feature makes it easy to tilt captions, balloons, WHAMs, and BAMs to add more excitement and action," says Mike Swanson, Founder of Juicy Bits. "Best of all, if you export an image using Halftone 2's anaglyph format, you can put on a pair of red and cyan 3D glasses and see the shapes jump right out of the page."

With this update, users can also add their own custom stamp shapes to the app. Custom shapes can be loaded from photos or from PNG images that include transparency.

Halftone 2 makes it easy to create multi-page comic books by assembling photos from Facebook, Flickr, and the photo album. Users can add filters, customize page layouts, add speech and thought balloons, position captions, place some WHAMs, BAMs, and POWs, and share their creations with the world.

Other recent additions include a new set of licensed artwork from professional comic design firm, Blambot, the ability to copy projects using the iTunes file sharing feature, the return of the Aviary image cropping tool, a new cartoon-style image filter, a new "faceted" balloon style, three new page layouts, and localization to German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.

Pricing and Availability:
Halftone 2 is currently available for $1.99 USD on the App Store. Halftone 2 is a Universal app that runs on iPad 2 (or later) and iPhone 4 (or later) with iOS 7.0 (or later).

Espresso Ray 3D 1.1 - New 3D Viewer and Surface Analysis Tool for OS X - Published on 03/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ER3D Group today introduces Espresso Ray 3D 1.1, their new 3D viewer and surface generation analysis tool for OS X. Designed to work with DICOM images and other medical imaging formats, Espresso Ray supports 3D volumetric data, in addition to grayscale and color DICOM image volumes. Espresso Ray 3D allows users to complete a variety of common and complex medical imaging tasks, including the ability to quickly view, image, surface, and analyze data from MRI and CT.

Honolulu, Hawaii - ER3D Group today is proud to announce the release and availability of Espresso Ray 3D 1.1, their new 3D viewer and surface generation analysis tool for OS X. Designed to work with DICOM images and other medical imaging formats (namely nifti-1), Espresso Ray 3D supports 3D volumetric data, in addition to grayscale and color DICOM image volumes. Essentially, Espresso Ray 3D allows users to complete a variety of common and complex medical imaging tasks, including the ability to quickly view, image, surface, and analyze data from MRI and CT.

Following industry-standard principles for simplistic user-interface (UI) design, Espresso Ray 3D has utilized common principles that users are familiar with (such as multi-touch trackpad gestures) and deeply integrated these into the software. Espresso Ray 3D uses OpenCL, an industry-supported, heavily integrated technology designed to maximize performance of all computing tasks. With this technology, the software ensures full utilization of all of the computer's resources so users receive their results quickly.

Unlike the data-approach utilized by most medical software, Espresso Ray 3D uses a document-based approach to organizing files. To save time and effort for the user, Espresso Ray 3D stores all ER3D-related files in one place. This enables all 3D images, 3D surfaces, 3D landmarks, TPS results, and VOI painter results to always be secure and accessible.

Feature Highlights:
* Simple and easy-to-use User Interface design
* Multi-touch trackpad gestures
* Rapid-segmentation and reconstruction of any structures
* Add-on toolkits available
* Threshold-based surfacer extracts ISO-surfaces
* Volume-Of-Interest (VOI) painter tool
* GPU-accelerated imaging
* Built-in difference of Gaussian (d.o.g.) filter support
* ER3D file formatting
* Uses OpenCL to maximize performance of all computing tasks

For increased functionality, Espresso Ray 3D offers the Basic Analysis and Advanced Analysis toolkits, two add-on packages available for an additional purchase. The Basic Analysis toolkit allows Espresso Ray 3D to transform from a 3D imaging viewer into an analytical reconstruction studio. The Basic Analysis toolkit provides surfacing, imaging, VOI (Volume-Of-Interest) thresholding, and VOI masking. For rapid manual, more finely tuned segmentation operations, the Volume-Of-Interest (VOI) painter tool allows direct manipulation of the desired segmentation region. A three-dimensional thresholded spherical brush can be operated in any of the axial, coronal, or sagittal planes to achieve this manipulation. Once created, the VOI can be used to quickly generate 3D surfaces, or as a mask to the entire volume, eliminating all but the most important structures for study.

The Basic Analysis toolkit also enables validated calculations for volume, surface area, and linear measurements. Additionally, output modes for volume export (to nifti-1), and surface export (to OBJ, STL, and iPad/iPhone via Verto Studio Mobile) are included. Algorithms are accelerated using state-of-the-art parallel processing on GPU hardware where available. GPU-accelerated imaging contains 3D Gaussian and Sobel filters, including built-in difference of Gaussian (d.o.g.) filter support. An optimized craniofacial segmentation tool designed to run on human head DICOM data is also provided in the Basic Analysis toolkit. A library of plastinated anatomical models is being compiled in ER3D format and is freely available through the espressoray.com website.

The Advanced Analysis toolkit expands upon capabilities of the Basic Analysis toolkit, including surface landmarking capability in 2D and 3D, intra-landmark linear measurement PCA, procrustean alignment and averaging of individual files to form samples. Also included in the Advanced Analysis toolkit is a 3-Dimensional Thin-Plate-Spline (3D TPS) analysis that can perform morphometric strain comparison and warp application between individual landmarked surface files.

"These days, medical software tends to be bloated, overcomplicated, and not very easy to use," says ER3D Group partner, Michael Farrell. "Espresso Ray 3D exists to be as simplistic and to-the-point as possible for completing both common and sophisticated medical imaging tasks. Designed for CT and MRI modalities, possible applications of the software are virtually limitless. Espresso Ray 3D is an exciting product! We've delivered some of the most powerful tools that have ever been used to perform medical visualization, segmentation, and analysis."

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or later
* 26.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Espresso Ray 3D 1.1 is only $19.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Medical category. The Basic Analysis Toolkit add-on is $99.99 (USD). The Advanced Analysis Toolkit add-on is $199.99 (USD). Review copies are available upon request.

Offline Pages Pro 2.0.1 - Update to the Most Accurate Offline Browser - Published on 03/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Codium Labs, LLC today announces Offline Pages Pro 2.0.1 for iOS, an exciting new update to their popular offline browser. Capable of making exact replicas of large HTML5 websites, Offline Pages app makes it possible for users to work offline without any Internet connection. Web pages and entire websites are saved with all formatting, documents, and embedded media intact. The update has a fully reinvented User Interface, iOS 7 support, and a new-generation WebKit browser.

Seattle, Washington - Codium Labs, LLC today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Offline Pages Pro 2.0.1, an exciting new update to their popular offline browser for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Offline Pages Pro makes it possible to work offline without any Internet connection. The Offline Pages Pro browser has been built with a new-generation WebKit at its core, so it supports HTML5, CSS3, and all modern technologies. By utilizing the app's intelligent crawler engine which makes exact replicas of large HTML5 websites, webpages and entire websites are saved with all of their formatting, documents, interactive galleries, and embedded videos intact.

"We love Offline Pages Pro's built-in browser," says AppChasers. "As opposed to Instapaper, Pocket, and other read-it-later apps, Offline Pages Pro can save entire websites along with their images and lower level links. That means you'll get an offline experience as if you were online. Offline Pages Pro gets our AppChasers 5-star rating." (April 2013)

Offline Pages Pro supports modern security standards and has the ability to sync websites that require entering credentials such as a login or password. The app protects browsing privacy by detecting and avoiding tracking scripts or frames hidden in pages. In Intelligent mode, Offline Pages Pro automatically detects body or content links and only follows them. It will ignore navigation, menus, archives, footers, or inline text ads.

"Put simply," reports Federico Vitticci of MacStories, "Offline Pages does just one thing and does it well: it lets you download any page from a website for offline reading. Unlike Instapaper, the app doesn't extract only the text part from a page, but it stores the whole layout together with images and stuff. Once you've read the page, you can delete it and forget about it." (11 April 2010)

Feature Highlights:
* Fully reinvented User Interface
* Pixel-perfect preservation of website design
* Advanced array of settings to fine-tune to specific websites
* Supports most HTML5 websites to run as functional offline apps
* Support for websites that require login and password information
* Modern WebKit browser with tabs and folders
* Fullscreen mode available
* Automatic background updates
* Intelligent detection of important links and multi-page articles
* Download up to 50,000 pages per website
* In-App sharing to Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/G+/Dropbox/Evernote and many more

In Version 2.0.1, significant modifications have been made to increase functionality and make Offline Pages Pro a more intuitive experience. The update features a fully reinvented User Interface and a redesigned fullscreen mode for uncluttered reading. Saving a page for offline reading involves a simple tap of the green button while surfing the web in Offline Pages Pro's built-in browser. A drop-down menu allows the users to set options including the auto-update feature and download link settings. Automatic updates can be set to update stored websites in background while only using available home or office connections.

"What makes this cool app different from most apps of its kind is that it actually saves the entire webpage to your phone and not just the text," says Dave LeClair of MakeUseOf (31 Oct 2012). "It saves the formatting, and you would never be able to tell that you are looking at the page offline. This is an incredibly useful app for anyone who needs to be without cell phone signal for extended periods. Saving your favorite places on the web for viewing later is awesome, and it can save you a lot of boredom."

Now a 64-bit app with iOS 7 support, the updated version of Offline Pages Pro offers in-app sharing to popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Dropbox, and Evernote. There is also improved support for AJAX, YouTube and Vimeo, and several performance and bug fixes.

Offline Pages Pro has made improvements to help organize and sync the user's data. In addition to a tabbed browser, users can send links from any PC, Mac, or iPad directly to their iOS device by email or using the browser extension. The offline library of websites can be easily organized in folders and assigned tags to filter them down by subject.

"Offline Pages Pro is a deceptively simple and incredibly powerful offline browser," says Andrei Chtcherbatchenko, founder of Codium Labs, LLC. "It is widely regarded as the most accurate offline browser available today on any platform and was the Top #3 app in the US App Store in April of 2010. Offline Pages Pro is perfect for anyone who wants offline access to their web pages and websites when an Internet connection isn't available. Offline Pages Pro is also a universal app. Buy it once and you can run it on all of your iOS devices."

Language Support:
* English, Japanese, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* iOS 5.1.1 or later
* Universal Application
* 16.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:

BattleSuit Runner Fitness for iOS: New Super-Immersive GPS Running Game - Published on 03/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New free and paid BattleSuit Runner Fitness apps from Olive Seraph, LLC are the most innovative additions to the "gamification of fitness" trend that is blurring the lines between exercise and entertainment. The player's speed changes, sprints, and battlesuit upgrades affect the storyline and battles as the adventure unfolds through their headphones while the player walks, jogs, or runs, integrating their music playlist into the gameplay.

Cupertino, California - Anyone who has struggled to break away from a video game or movie to go workout has reason to rejoice in 2014: BattleSuit Runner Fitness, available for both iOS and Android, combines a GPS fitness trainer, story running, RPG elements, and choose- your-own adventure content that throw the player into the action as the story unfolds during each mission/workout while the player walks, jogs, or runs.

During BattleSuit Runner Fitness workouts, the player becomes DeltaSuit, an exosuit-donning commando who joins a team of BattleSuit Runners and other colorful characters that are humanity's last hope to defend against a rising alien invasion. The player can even use resources collected during workouts to customize and upgrade their battlesuit modules, leading to epic alien battles that unfold during each workout (with the player's music playlist setting the mood in the background).

While exercising, the player is prompted to change speed for a choose-your-own adventure effect, such as: "DeltaSuit, if you want to rescue the hostages, slow down for a few seconds. If you prefer to pursue the retreating hostiles instead, speed up for a few seconds..." The story and battles progress depending on the player's choice.

At certain points, the player will also be encouraged to sprint in order to activate their battlesuit's "supercharge mode" during a special "power song" interlude, the success or failure of which has its own profound effects on the storyline as well. This feature also allows for interval training integrated into the gameplay (intensity is adjustable).

The player's music playlist integrates seamlessly into the storyline as they walk, jog, or run to complete objectives, battle enemies, and even modify their speed when prompted to affect the story's outcome. Successful completion of the above goals allows the player to earn resources used to repair and upgrade their battlesuit in between workouts to increase its effectiveness in subsequent battles.

BattleSuit Runner Fitness also features remarkable sound effects and voice acting with an international cast of characters that rock the distinction between exercise and entertainment. Traditional GPS fitness app features, such as monitoring workout speed and distance, as well as social networking integration are all included in the app, as well as the ability to set the length and intensity of each workout. Most GPS fitness tracker apps may also be used together with BattleSuit Runner Fitness to allow the player to continue logging all workouts in one place, if so desired.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 132 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BattleSuit Runner Fitness 1.05.2 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

BasketWars - An Indie Game with a Purpose - Published on 03/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JABB Interactive LLC, a small indie game company trying to be seen in a massive app market, is raising funds on Kickstarter for the new addictive iOS game BasketWars, launching in March of 2014. BasketWars is an action-packed basketball game based on the famous battles of World War II. By creating a unique mix of genres and helping wounded warriors, JABB Interactive hopes to raise awareness about their new game in hopes of making a difference in the gaming community and the world around them.

Los Angeles, California - JABB Interactive LLC, a small indie game company trying to be seen in a massive app market, is raising funds on Kickstarter for the new addictive iOS game BasketWars, launching in March of 2014.

Get ready soldier!! You have been immediately drafted and shipped out to the battlegrounds of World War II. Stay alive by launching firepower infused basketballs up in the air and into the basket. Each amazingly designed WWII influenced ball has a unique weapon to help you defeat the enemy and make the perfect shot. Channel your inner Army Commander to conquer each battle and destroy enemy as an onslaught of grenades, missiles, and bullets are hurled towards you with bad intent. With over 60 masterfully designed levels, and 6 insane Bosses, BasketWars is a true test of strength and skill. Play alone or challenge your friends to a battle of epic proportion. Oh and did we mention you'll face zombies too? Do you have what it takes to win the war? Hoo-rah!

After a year and a half of development, the JABB team feels they have created a unique game that can truly stand out in the crowd. Founder of JABB, Jeremy Born said, "We feel the current state of the game market on the App Store is somewhat stale. Companies are recycling the same games and no one is trying to re-invent the wheel. By mixing several genres including sports, war, multiplayer, and strategy, we feel we have created something completely unique, and hopefully people will appreciate that."

In addition to attempting to make BasketWars a household name, the company is also dedicated to giving back. "Most game companies are concerned with one thing, making money. Here at JABB, we want to give back and make a difference in the lives of others," said head of Marketing and PR, Brandy Born. Because of this, JABB is in the process of partnering with the Semper Fi Fund, by giving a portion of game proceeds to this great cause. Founder, Jeremy Born stated, "This was a great match as our game has a military influence based on the battles of WWII. Giving back to our wounded warriors is a tremendous cause and is held close to our hearts."

The Semper Fi Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and its program America's Fund, are set up to provide immediate financial assistance and lifetime support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. We direct urgently needed resources to post 9/11 service members, who meet our criteria for assistance, from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Reserves.

Up until now, BasketWars has been a self-funded project. The JABB team is nearing the end of both development and savings. They are turning to potential backers to get the word out. Getting a small influx of funding from Kickstarter would allow them to market the game after launch, provide content updates and port over to other platforms this year.

This project will only be funded if at least $10,000 is pledged by Sat, Mar 22 2014 12:29 PM 05:30. If you'd like more information about the BasketWars Project, or if you'd like to schedule an interview, please email Brandyn Born.

Red Giant Invites You to Join a New Universe - Published on 03/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland based Red Giant today announces Red Giant Universe public beta, a community that gives members access to fast and powerful tools for editing, filmmaking, visual effects and motion design. Red Giant is releasing an unprecedented 50 new plug-ins at once. Every tool in the Universe library of effects and transitions is GPU-accelerated, both Mac and Windows compatible, and works across multiple host applications including: After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X and Motion.

Portland, Oregon - Today, Red Giant, makers of Magic Bullet, Trapcode and PluralEyes, announced Red Giant Universe (public beta) - a community that gives members access to fast and powerful tools for editing, filmmaking, visual effects and motion design.

"It's rare we get to introduce technology that is entirely new," said Sean Safreed, Red Giant's co-founder and CTO who has been working with his team, behind the scenes, on Universe for the last year and a half. "Universe is an entirely new foundation for tools. It marries the simplicity of Javascript with the power of the GPU to deliver speedy renders and pixel-perfect results. Users are going to love how quickly we offer new plug-ins."

In total, Red Giant is releasing an unprecedented 50 new plug-ins at once - with more already in development. Every tool in the Universe library of effects and transitions is GPU-accelerated, both Mac and Windows compatible, and works across multiple host applications including: After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X and Motion. The Universe library of tools is continuously growing - new effects and transitions are added regularly, and existing tools are updated often, based on user feedback.

In addition to the expanding library of plug-ins, Universe also offers Premium membership, which gives users access to even more tools - including new effects and transitions, as well as existing Red Giant favorites ported over to the new Universe platform (such as Knoll Light Factory EZ, Holomatrix, Retrograde and ToonIt). Premium membership is available through monthly and yearly subscription, as well as a one-time lifetime membership fee.

"I'm a motion graphics and visual effects artist, and definitely not a coder," said Aharon Rabinowitz, Red Giant's director of content and communities. "Even so, along with the Universe development team, folks like motion designer Harry Frank and I have been secretly cranking out plug-ins for the last few months. Our new development tools have made it surprisingly easy. I'm super excited that we can finally share the stuff we've been making."

What truly makes Universe unique, however, is its community aspects. Through Universe Labs, members get to help choose what effects and transitions Red Giant builds next, and premium members are eligible for invitations to early betas of new products, allowing users to give early feedback and actively help shape Universe's expansion over time.

A New, Safer App for Skin Cancer Detection - Published on 03/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pro-Cal has released MoleMonitor 1.0.2 for iPhone to help users accurately and safely monitor their skin. The app has been developed in consultation with practicing GP's by a diverse team with a background in aerospace engineering, robotics & artificial intelligence. It uses its technical advantages to ensure the user can create powerful records without fuss. MoleMonitor focuses on delivering a detailed and easy-to-use platform which takes the headache out of tracking skin moles and lesions.

Leamington Spa, United Kingdom - Cases of melanoma are on the rise in the UK while 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before they reach the age of 70. Monitoring and early detection are key in the fight against skin cancer. Pro-Cal Powertrain is pleased to announce Mole Monitor 1.0.2 for iOS. Unlike the majority of apps in its field, Mole Monitor does not attempt to automate any part of the diagnosis of skin conditions which is risky and can lead to delays in detection of a serious skin condition. Instead it uses its technical advantages to ensure the user can create powerful records without fuss. Patent-pending algorithms unique to Mole Monitor ensure that each image is taken at the same distance from the skin. This is vitally important in tracking the growth of moles.

Features:
* Intuitive 3D body model helps the user keep track of their skin records
* Unique algorithms judge the distance between your phone and your skin to ensure your images are consistent
* Powerful image comparison tools allow you to spot any changes in your skin
* Image processing algorithms highlight important features in each picture
* Alerts remind you to update your records when it's time
* Generate thorough PDF reports for your GP or dermatologist

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 27.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Mole Monitor - Skin Mole Mapping and Cancer Symptom Checker 1.0.2 is $6.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category. A limited number of Promotional Codes are available to members of the media and medical professionals.
