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.
The Web Enabler User's Guide in Adobe Acrobat PDF format is
included on this CD-ROM in the \DOCS directory.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 for Windows (32-bit) is included for
your convenience in the \ACROBAT directory. The free Adobe
Acrobat Reader allows you to view, navigate, and print PDF
files.
