C Technologies subsidiary Anoto presents for the first time at CeBIT the Application Development Kit

C Technologies subsidiary Anoto presents for the first time at CeBIT the Application Development Kit - that helps companies develop services with Anoto functionality Anoto has developed an Application Development Kit (ADK), that helps companies develop services with Anoto functionality. ADK consists of two different tools targeted at different user groups. The launch is taking place in the summer of 2001. - We have until now presented a number of basic services, but with the ADK tools we facilitate the development of several new applications and services for the market, says Christer Fåhraeus, President of Anoto. ADK consists of the following: Graphical Design Kit (GDK) The Graphical Design Kit (GDK) is aimed at graphical designers to assist them in developing the graphical part of applications and services with Anoto functionality. The Anoto pattern is printed on different types of paper and paper products, thereby giving them, among other things, different functions. By using a digital pen with Anoto functionality the user can for example order products directly from an Anoto pattern enabled catalogue. Software Development Kit (SDK) The Software Development Kit (SDK) is aimed at software developers who develop application software for different services with Anoto functionality. The application software is located on i.e. a server and constitutes that part of the service which utilises the information that the end user is creating when writing with the digital pen on the digital paper with Anoto functionality. SDK also contains parts for testing and verification of developed applications.
