Smallworld in iPad (Part 2)

Paul Meester from Realworld (http://www.realworld-systems.com/ - Booths 8,9 & 10 @ Smallworld EMEAI) pointed out to me that a trend in Smallworld-on-tablet development is moving towards using Smallworld GSS as the server solution. The tablet client can then be developed as a web page that uses Smallworld data served by GSS.

Realworld has an iPad demo at their booth. If you haven't caught the demo this week at the conference, then be sure to contact them after the conference.

Smallworld on iPad

Being a bit of an iPadphile, I couldn't help but notice that a few of the vendors at the Smallworld EMEAI 2011 Users Conference had iPad-based solutions.

breakoutimage (Booth 12) has an iPad app

ubisense (Booth 21) has a product, myWorld, that works on any web browser, but looks very nice on the iPad. Check out a picture of Peter wearing myWorld here.

If you know of other Smallworld-on-iOS apps out there, please let me know and I will amend this post.

SVG export from Smallworld

I met Robert Schweikert from SEPM at the Smallworld EMEAI Users Conference today. He told me about his X-Translator product. I was particularly interested in the SVG (scalable vector graphics) export format. While I know that various products have existed over the years that export Smallworld data to SVG, it was good to see that X-Translator handles that as well. You could use SVG to allow a user to have vector-based interaction with data in web browsers or other 3rd party readers. It looks very interesting and would be worthwhile for anyone who has an interest in improving user/data interaction to look at.

Please find Robert and ask him to show you what products he has to offer. If you don't know him, you can use the picture here to help you find him.
