Google Chrome and Javascript API Updates

Google Chrome is not only a dip into the browser market for Google, but also the Rich Internet Application space as a whole. We were thrilled to discover that Google Chrome worked flawlessly with Vuzit on the day it launched. We learned about Google Chrome at the same time as everybody else … when the AJAX-based comic book was “leaked”. Google should start using Vuzit to distribute their documents internally, and perhaps they will bleed less sensitive information (OK, I actually think this was a very well orchestrated PR stunt).
We recently released the 2.4 version of our API. Developers previously had to display a Vuzit viewer in order to query document properties [code][html]. This requirement has been removed, thus making it easier to use Vuzit as more than just a document viewer. The API changes only affected the vuzit.Viewer() constructor which now takes an array of options. We are using this array to secretly test new features on our production server. Stay tuned ….

How does that API fair on the iPhone? Also Android?

Hi Phil,
The Vuzit viewer works on the iPhone, but we haven’t made any special accessibility functions for the iPhone yet. We might endeavor to create specific functions (e.g. for smaller devices), but those might not even be necessary. Same goes for Android.
If you have any interest in developing something, please let us know and we will support the effort. Best, -Chris
