New iOS App Helps Doctors Apply the Concepts of Mechanical Ventilation - Published on 10/29/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

First Draught Press today announces The Ventilator App, their new medical app for iOS devices. The Ventilator App is a clinical decision support tool designed to aid medical professionals in providing mechanical ventilation to treat patients with respiratory failure. The app was developed by William Owens, MD. Dr. Owens is a specialist in Critical Care Medicine and is an Associate Professor of Clinical Internal Medicine at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.

Columbia, South Carolina - First Draught Press is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of The Ventilator App 1.0, their new medical app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices. The Ventilator App aids medical students, respiratory therapists, physicians in-training, and practicing clinicians in understanding and applying the concepts of mechanical ventilation.

The Ventilator App was developed by William Owens, MD. Dr. Owens is a specialist in Critical Care Medicine. He is active in teaching medical students and resident physicians in the Intensive Care Unit, where they use mechanical ventilators to treat patients with respiratory failure. This includes patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), the most severe form of respiratory failure, which is associated with a mortality rate of 40-50%. Whenever Dr. Owens asks students and residents which topic they feel most uncomfortable with in the ICU, the answer he almost always hears is: "the ventilator.�

"To aid in the understanding of mechanical ventilation, I wrote and published 'The Ventilator Book,'" says Dr. Owens. "The logical extension of this educational effort was to create an app for Apple's iOS devices, which are used heavily by medical care professionals. The Ventilator App is the result of my efforts, and is the first iOS app to provide comprehensive clinical decision support for treating patients with respiratory failure."

A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2000 showed a benefit with lower tidal volumes (the volume of gas that the ventilator delivers to the patient's lungs) in ARDS. This method, known as "lung protective ventilation," reduced the mortality rate among critically ill patients by nearly 9%. Despite the results of the study, which has since been validated, less than 50% of patients in Intensive Care Units are treated with lung protective ventilation. Dr. Owens hopes that by using The Ventilator App, more medical professionals will provide lung protective ventilation to their patients.

Features:
* Tidal Volume Calculator: Displays a recommended tidal volume range for the patient's predicted body weight
* PEEP-FiO2 Calculator: Uses the patient's existing PEEP, FiO2, and PaO2 to advise providers on adjustment of the ventilator settings
* A troubleshooting guide for both common and uncommon situations in the ICU
* A quick reference guide, including common formulas and tables

"It has been estimated that it takes, on average, seventeen years for new developments in medicine to become routine clinical practice," continues Dr. Owens. "That is much too long, and one reason I created this app is to reduce this knowledge translation gap. Having a readily available handheld clinical decision support tool will help physicians, advanced practice providers, and respiratory therapists make decisions about treatment for critically ill patients."

The app offers a number of tools to guide healthcare providers with the proper treatment to their patients. A tidal volume calculator allows the input of a patient's height and gender, and whether or not the patient is afflicted with ARDS. The calculator then displays a recommended tidal volume range. Proper tidal volume is crucial, and is based on a patient's ideal body weight. The calculator quickly returns correct results and does not require the provider to perform cumbersome manual calculations.

A second calculator aids in the adjustment of the end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and inspired oxygen (FiO2) in patients with ARDS. This feature, the first of its kind, makes use of a multi-step clinical algorithm to rapidly calculate the necessary changes to the ventilator settings. The provider inputs the PEEP, FiO2, and the patient's arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2). (The PaO2 is measured by drawing an arterial blood sample; the PEEP and FiO2 are settings on the ventilator). The app will then display any recommended ventilator changes, if needed, to the user. The results returned follow the PEEP-FiO2 tables used in the major ARDS research studies.

The Ventilator App includes a troubleshooting guide that includes both common and uncommon situations that may occur with ventilated patients in the Intensive Care Unit. A quick reference guide has common formulas and tables, which is invaluable information to healthcare professionals, particularly medical students and physicians-in-training.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.2 or later
* Universal Application
* 9.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Ventilator App 1.0 is only $4.99 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category. Review copies are available upon request.

Horizon for iOS - Introducing filter packs - Published on 10/29/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Horizon Video Technologies today unveils Horizon Camera 3.5, an important update of its flagship iOS app. Horizon lets anyone record horizontal videos regardless of the device's orientation. Users can choose among more than 25 filters that apply cinematic quality color grading and enable selective color photography. The latest update enables 4K recording and 3D Touch for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus devices and contains numerous improvements across the board.

Thessaloniki, Greece - Horizon Video Technologies unveils today the latest update of its flagship iOS app, Horizon, which introduces never seen before, professional quality filters. Users can choose among more than 25 filters that apply cinematic quality color grading and enable selective color photography. The latest update enables 4K recording and 3D Touch for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus devices and contains numerous improvements across the board.

When Horizon was launched, it offered nine simple filters to choose from. We always wanted to take this a step further and provide unique filters that would enrich the captured content in a way no other app has ever done before. Since Horizon captures both photos and videos, we were inspired by photographic techniques and cinematic color grading, used in films we love.

Today, we are excited to introduce three filter packs: Sherlock, Hollywood and Tones.

Hollywood filter pack recreates the cinematic look of popular movies by enabling color grading. "Teal & orange" filter matches the look of many blockbuster movies that feature teal dark shades and light colors with orange hue. You can also find filters inspired by some of our favorite movies! Just try the "Matrix" and the "Real world" filters.

Sherlock filter pack shifts the colors in a playful manner. Most of the Sherlock filters make use of selective color photography, maintaining a single color and turning the rest of the image to grayscale. There is even a filter that swaps traffic light colors by turning green to red!

Tones pack includes filters that are perfect for everyday shots that need a bit of spicing up.

As always, Horizon processes the image and video in real time, so the filters can also be previewed live before capturing. This update also includes 4K resolution support and 3D Touch functionality via home screen quick actions menu for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus as well as numerous improvements across the board.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* Optimized for iPad Pro
* 17.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Horizon Camera 3.5 is Free (with in-app purchase) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. The filter packs will be available in the latest version (3.5) of Horizon for iOS. Tones filter pack is free and Sherlock and Hollywood filter packs cost $0.99 (priced in US and accordingly in other countries).

PlayToddlers releases My First Words for iPad and iPhone - Published on 10/29/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Madrid based PlayToddlers today introduces My First Words 1.0, their new children's puzzle game developed exclusively for iOS devices. Designed in collaboration with psychologists and educators, My First Words was specifically designed for toddlers +12 months old who are learning to speak. The app teaches them how to say the name of common objects that surround them. The game includes 14 boards with different themes containing more than 120 words of their environment to learn.

Madrid, Spain - PlayToddlers, largely awarded educational game developer, today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of My First Words 1.0 for iPad and iPhone, an attractive puzzle designed in collaboration with psychologists and educators for toddlers +12 months old who are learning to speak.

There is no greater satisfaction than hear your baby say their first word or have a small conversation with your toddler. Your baby may say their first word from as early as 4 to 6 months, and by the time they're 18 months, they may even be able to string a simple sentence of two or three words.

Research has shown that taking a couple of minutes a day to read or play with your baby, encouraging them to repeat some words, will dramatically increase their language skills, as well as strengthen your emotional bonds.

My First Words is an attractive puzzle for children 1 years old, developed to teach them how to say the name of common objects that surround them. The game includes 14 boards with different themes containing more than 120 words of their environment to learn. It also includes some advanced words to encourage the development of the children who are already speaking.

"We bring together designers, developers and educators to create great digital content for toddlers. We believe that appropriately designed technology can play a positive role in children's education.", said Guillermo Fernandez, PlayToddlers' founder and technical director. "Our priority is to establish PlayToddlers as a trusted brand of quality apps for toddlers' learning."

This game has been specifically designed to improve the following areas:

* Vocabulary
* Visual perception
* Hand-eye coordination
* Concentration
* Classification of objects

Language Support:
* English and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPod, iPhone, iPhone 5, iPad or iPad Retina
* Requires iOS 6.0
* 63.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
My First Words 1.0 is available worldwide through Apple App Store exclusively, at price of $2.99 USD. The app is available in the Games/Kids category.

Mobile Montessori, among the first to bring Educational Apps to Apple TV - Published on 10/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Michigan based Mobile Montessori will be among the first to bring educational apps to Apple TV. The Hundred Board is a fun and educational exercise that helps children with their counting from 1 to 100. This new app will be available on the first day of the Apple TV release. After years of developing quality, educational apps for the Apple iPad, Mobile Montessori endeavors to change the TV from being a waste of time for children, into an educational experience.

Dearborn Heights, Michigan - Mobile Montessori is happy to announce that they will be be publishing educational apps for Apple TV. Their first Apple TV app, The Hundred Board - Math, will be available on the very first day of the new Apple TV release.

"Imagine children actually using the living room TV for something constructive!" explained Harin Wickremasinghe, App Designer at Mobile Montessori. "We see families sitting down together to complete educational puzzles and activities. Parents will enjoy being able to observe their children from a distance as they complete tasks within the apps. Classrooms can run group activities as each student passes the Siri remote from one person to the next. There's a lot we're all going to do with the new Apple TV, and we are happy to bring you quality, educational content for children that will turn screen time into quality time!"

The Hundred Board is a fun and educational exercise that helps children with their counting from 1 to 100. The task is simple: Assemble the board by finding and placing the number tiles in sequence.

Activities:
* Sequence (With Control) - Assemble the Hundred Board with the aid of seeing control numbers on the board to know what number to search for next.
* Sequence (standard) - This activity tests a child's knowledge of numbers by having to search for the next number in sequence without any assistance.
* Counting by Evens & Odds - As an introduction to skip-counting, children can assemble the Hundred Board by either Even or Odd numbers only.

Features:
* All activities are self-correcting
* Every number can be heard aloud when it is placed into position, reinforcing the name of each number for the child
* A score is presented for parents and teachers to evaluate a child's progress

Customer Comments:
"This looks very simple, but, you'd be surprised how engrossing the children find this lesson to be. I've watched our five year old daughter spend over an hour working with it, trying to get to a hundred!"

"Our son (6) started first grade and is ecstatic to be the only kid to write all the numbers from 1-100! Your app is fun to him!"

Accomplishments:
Hundreds of Schools worldwide have incorporated the iPad version of this app into their classrooms. The Hundred Board is now promoted by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership as an effective app for learning number sequencing techniques.

Mobile Montessori is excited to bring this app to AppleTV and see great possibilities in both the classroom and at home. Thanks for your support.

IxDNY Launches 3D Match - A New Puzzle Game for iOS - Published on 10/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IxDNY today introduces 3D Match 1.1, its new and innovative puzzle game developed exclusively for iOS devices. This shape-matching puzzler includes more than 60 levels of increasing difficulty, with unique objectives to solve, and a mystery 3D shape that comes together in the finale. As players complete each stage by matching shapes and solving puzzles, a layer is added to the 3D shape. Every swipe counts, as all this must be accomplished in a limited number of moves.

This shape-matching puzzler includes more than 60 levels of increasing difficulty, with unique objectives to solve, and a mystery 3D shape that comes together in the finale.

According to Navid Divanbeigi and Majid Sedighi, the game's creators, 3D Match is unique.

As players complete each stage by matching shapes and solving puzzles, a layer is added to the 3D shape formed. Every swipe counts, as all this must be accomplished in a limited number of moves.

Under development since September 2014, 3D Match provides puzzle-game enthusiasts with a new dimension of fun. The game's developers included additional elements to make gameplay more fun and competitive. Players earn diamonds as they progress, which can be traded in for extra moves or powers. Friends can compete over Facebook, or help each other out by sending one another diamonds. An optional in-app purchase also allows players to purchase diamonds and progress faster. Players can also earn diamonds by watching ads or completing tasks provided by advertisers.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1.1 or later
* 44.3 MB

ZooGue Announces a Major Redesign of its Famous iPad Case - Published on 10/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

As tablets continue to evolve, ZooGue took on the challenge of creating what's by far the most versatile, stable and secure stand cases on the market to date. After years in development, ZooGue is finally releasing a complete redesign of their most popular Case Genius cases. The iPad mini 4, Air 2, and iPad Pro Case Genius Exec cases will provide enhanced protection by encompassing the tablet in a plastic shell that offers extended edges protecting the corners from harm.

Rancho Santa Margarita, California - ZooGue is proud to announce the release and redesign of the highly sought after Case Genius Pro case made for iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, and iPad Pro. The redesigned cases, "Case Genius Exec," have been improved down to the smallest of details. Just about every aspect of the case has been upgraded, even the use of the Velcro kickstand which sets this case apart from all competitor cases.

After years of trial and error and without sacrifice, the new design shields any exposed Velcro so there is never a concern over it catching on clothes or any other fabric. Additional updates include finger tabs that have been added to the internal shell allowing for simple extraction of the iPad, as well as improved drop protection and a thinner case that is even more compact. Aesthetically the case received a major face lift and now looks as good as it functions.

The iPad mini 4, Air 2, and iPad Pro Case Genius Exec cases will provide enhanced protection by encompassing the tablet in a plastic shell that offers extended edges protecting the corners from harm. With the addition of the shell, the tablet is also free of any obstruction to the bezel of the tablets. The redesigned case surrounds the tablet with a magnetic cover and flap keeping the tablet securely closed. The well-known fully adjustable angles of the Case Genius design are now enhanced by a more secure kickstand allowing access to all buttons and ports as well. ZooGue believes these cases offer unsurpassed benefits that competitor cases do not provide.

Owner Tim Angel states, "I just don't see how people will not love these cases. The fact that we have improved every aspect, and gave it a great new exterior look, I think will please even the most choosy customer." ZooGue solved the concerns of their customers by creating an incredible new design that is not only gorgeous, but reinforces the functionality of its predecessor.

Pricing and Availability:
The iPad Pro Case Genius Exec ($64.99) will be available in early December, the iPad mini 4 Case Genius Exec ($49.99) is available for pre-order and will ship in 1-2 weeks, and the Air 2 Case Genius Exec ($49.99) is now available for purchase at ZooGue online.

New Spelling App TurboWords Allows Fast Recording of School Words - Published on 10/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Perdrix Apps today introduces TurboWords 1.0, their new spelling app released exclusively for iOS devices. In TurboWords, students record words given at school, and then play them back in a spelling test. All the words can be recorded in one stretch - It takes barely a minute to record 20 words. There are a variety of options, including one to have the app pronounce the sound of the word as it is typed. A progress bar and a word count show indication of how far the student is.

Gatineau (QC) Canada - Perdrix Apps today is excited to announce that their second app, TurboWords, is now available exclusively for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. TurboWords is a spelling app, where students record words given at school, and play them back in a spelling test. Unlike other apps, all the words can be recorded in one stretch. It takes barely a minute to record 20 words.

"Seeing, saying, hearing and writing your words will help you succeed in school tests" says Stephane Blais, a parent of two school-age boys, who got the idea after vainly searching for a proper app to record words, given at school every week. Stephane helped developer Claude Labelle, who is also a parent of a primary school girl, who used the app successfully throughout her 6th grade, while it was in development. The children helped debug and made suggestions to improve TurboWords. "If it takes too long or if it's too difficult to record their words, children will be discouraged" added Stephane. In TurboWords, recording is easy and quick. The student just tap a big red Record button, say all their words, one after the other, and then tap the Stop button.

After quickly recording words, the student can hear them back by touching them. It's easy to re-record individual words (a long press), move or delete them. The app strips any silence found at the beginning or end of words, greatly improving the playback during the spelling test.

The spelling test is where the words are played back, in order or randomly. The student hears the words and types or writes them on paper. There is a variety of options, including one to have the app pronounce the sound of the word as it is typed. Standard audio controls Play/Pause, Previous/Forward are used to control the playback of words. The app can also automatically skip to the next word after a time limit set by the user. A progress bar and a word count show indication of how far the student is.

The spelling test can then be corrected; learnt words can be checked as such, while incorrect words can be retried in the spelling test, or corrected on-screen. Once a word is marked as correct, new spelling tests will feature instant feedback (right or wrong animations) and automatic correction. A positive-reinforcement star shows progress as words are learnt, and shines when all words are correct.

Words are arranged in groups, students can create a new group for the words to learn this week, for example. TurboWords can become multi-user through an in-app purchase. Users can be identified by name and photo. There is help on every screen.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.1 or later
* 6.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TurboWords 1.0 is Free (with in-app purchase) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

MetalGL Now Supports OSX for Low-latency OpenGL ES Rendering Using Metal - Published on 10/28/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Brenwill Workshop Ltd. announced that they have added support for OS X to their MetalGL product, which seamlessly brings the performance of Metal to OpenGL ES games and applications on iOS, and now OS X. MetalGL unleashes the power of Metal's low-latency rendering to let OpenGL ES games and applications perform up to 3x the number of draw calls, and benefit from the advanced tools available for the Metal development ecosystem, all without changing the way the game or app use OpenGL ES.

Toronto, Canada - The Brenwill Workshop Ltd. announced that they have added support for OS X to their MetalGL product, which seamlessly brings the performance of Metal to OpenGL ES games and applications on iOS, and now OS X. MetalGL is an implementation of the OpenGL ES 2.0 API that runs on Apple's Metal graphics framework on compatible iOS and OS X devices.

MetalGL unleashes the power of Metal's low-latency rendering to let OpenGL ES games and applications perform up to 3x the number of draw calls, and benefit from the advanced tools available for the Metal development ecosystem, all without changing the way the game or app use OpenGL ES. With MetalGL, OpenGL ES developers get many of the performance benefits and added debugging and performance tuning capabilities of Metal, without having to abandon the proven and familiar OpenGL ES 2.0 API, or rewrite rendering logic and shaders for a different platform.

The addition of OpenGL ES support for OS X means that developers can now seamlessly port OpenGL ES games and applications from iOS to OS X without having to rewrite and support them in desktop OpenGL. On both platforms, an OpenGL ES application will benefit from the speed and additional debugging and performance tuning capabilities of Metal.

Browsers that run WebGL can also benefit from MetalGL. Since WebGL is based on OpenGL ES, the availability of a fast implementation of OpenGL ES on OS X, built on Metal, enables web browsers and other tools to use MetalGL to dramatically improve the performance of WebGL on OS X.

"With a fast implementation of OpenGL ES now available on OS X through MetalGL, we expect to see developers more easily migrate graphical games and apps from iOS to OS X, and we expect to see web browsers adopt MetalGL to improve the performance and optimization of WebGL on OS X", said Bill Hollings, President of The Brenwill Workshop Ltd., the creators of MetalGL.

The new release of MetalGL also adds support for several additional OpenGL ES 2.0 extensions, and includes two new sample applications to help developers understand and validate the performance improvements that MetalGL can provide. For more information, please visit MetalGL online.

Portland, Oregon - Red Giant announced today the release of Trapcode Suite 13, an upgrade to the industry's most essential tools for creating motion graphics and visual effects in Adobe After Effects. In addition to major updates to Trapcode Particular, Shine and Mir, the epic release introduces Trapcode Tao, a brand new plugin for generating 3D geometries along a path. The update also includes new features in Trapcode Form, Sound Keys and Starglow.

"Trapcode plug-ins are a standard in post houses across the world, and are voted the most essential tools for After Effects users every year," comments Aharon Rabinowitz, Red Giant's head of marketing. "We're proud of how passionate our customers are about tools like Particular, Mir and Shine, and we are thrilled to bring users new and more creative ways to use them in their work. For the first time ever, particle systems can be built visually, light rays can react to the 3D camera, and 3D surfaces and wireframes can be looped for dynamic motion graphics. With Trapcode Tao, we're bringing the ability to generate amazing, procedurally-generated 3D ribbons and geometric shapes to After Effects, something every motion graphics artist will discover they can't live without."

"I'm very excited about this release, and I'm especially thrilled to see what all the amazing Trapcode users will create with the new Trapcode Tao plug-in," says Peder Norrby, creator of Red Giant's Trapcode Suite. "I feel proud of what we have accomplished with this release, and I can't wait to see all the hard work pay off in terms of users creating new cool stuff with these tools."

Trapcode Tao Joins the Suite:
With tools to generate complex procedural 3D geometries using built-in auto paths, mask shapes and the motion from 3D lights, Trapcode Tao brings new depth to motion graphics projects. Thanks to GPU acceleration, process-intensive graphics and effects, like image-based lighting, reflection maps and ambient occlusion, all render at incredible speeds.
