Novatouch

Novatouch is a desktop application designed for touchscreen PCs. It provides a user-friendly interface to various computer tasks. People are able to video-call by touching a photo (using Skype), view photos, get reminders about important events, listen to music, etcetera.

I implemented the first prototype in 2007. This version consisted of the agenda, phone, music and photos modules. I also did the initial graphical design for the user interface. After that, other people have developed the product further; improving the core and renewing the graphical design. In 2010-2011 I was involved again. This time, I worked in a small team to fix bugs and extend functionality.

Novatouch is developed in Delphi7, and I have experience with:

  • Sending and retrieving E-Mails using POP3/SMTP; working with attachments and multipart text/html attachments
  • Controlling Skype, using the Skype API
  • Using the windows API to manipulate windows
  • Using MySQL in Delphi7
  • Media playback
  • Internet browsing
  • Using SVN to work with other programmers
