Announce. SITPLUS version 1.0

What is SITPLUS?
================

SITPLUS is a free software (released under the GNU GPL license) 
framework whose main goal is to provide ludic-therapeutic activities for 
people with disabilities. It offers new forms of interaction based on 
computer vision, voice and other peripherals to produce a result in the 
form of image and sound. Inspired by the cause and effect applications, 
SITPLUS provides a tool for continuous and remote interaction, 
attainable to the majority of people with cognitive, sensory and 
physical disabilities.


What’s new?
===========

Thanks to two grants given by the puntCAT Foundation and Caixa Tarragona 
(Tu Ajudes 2010) to the Associació Provincial de Paràlisi Cerebral 
(APPC) de Tarragona, the SITPLUS project has made a great jump forward 
in providing a new set of features among which we highlight:

- New graphical engine which can be adapted with custom artwork (the 
current version ships with several image banks and activities).
- Support for Wii Remote controllers.
- Major redesign of the application to make it more modular, versatile 
and customizable.
- Compatible with GNU/Linux and Windows.

A new video which describes the project goals and shows some of the new 
features is available at (with English subtitles):
