New version of iFeelPixel (Haptic interface)

Hello everyone,

This is to let you know a new version of iFeelPixel is available online. The new F-gen/NVeNt/HDAL Beta 2 is recommended and should be installed on your machine.

You can disable or enable gravity compensation directly from Novint Falcon Options.

This version is fixing some issues between the cursor accuracy and Z-axis. Thus, Tactile sensations have been improved. Please try this new version and let us know your opinion.

- The default force settings have been modified. We recommend to reset settings to default if you installed a previous version on your machine.

- Compatibility improved for windows 7 (Application virtualization made with Boxedapp packer, side-by-side feature)

- We added a new slider in the "Speed and force settings windows".
This slider allows the software to decrease (slowly or quickly) the force feedback when there is no pixel detected.

- The following features: Edge detection, color detection (color selector), tactile Grid, Texture generation and TONAR (windows attraction) have been updated and improved. We added the Z-axis in the Grid option and Texture option.

- The software can detect if the new Novint Driver is correctly installed on the machine. It runs even if latest HDAL files are not installed or missing.

- The user can choose between absolute grip position or relative grip position.
