Qt Insights is a program that will help new audiences learn about Qt through dialog with the community and a media awareness campaign. Findings of the now closed survey will be shared at qtinsights.com

The well-known Qt demos “Embedded Widgets”, “Patient Care” and “Smart Home Control” originally have been implemented by basyskom developers. The demos show how to implement human machine interfaces for industry use cases, targeted for touch screen devices.

Now we ported the demos to Qt5 and gave them a general clean-up to recent development standards. They are available for download at http://share.basyskom.com/demos/patientcare_src.tar.gz and http://share.basyskom.com/demos/smarthome_src.tar.gz

basysKom has created updated images for the Plasma Active 3 release and all development hardware. Those are the Archos Gen9 devices and the WeTab. Installation Images are available for download from the Download Center.

 

About Plasma Active and the Images

Plasma Active allows OEMs to create innovative products based on an up-to-date platform within a growing ecosystem. It is the open and secure technology stack for a smarter user experience to run on future devices and platforms. A user experience engine is the core of Plasma Active and allows to implement custom user interfaces. It can run custom applications only or run a big variety of open source touch applications as well as integrate an app store. The pre-configured default user experience includes an innovative activity based touch concept for tablets.
basysKom has chosen Mer© as reference platforms to showcase Plasma Active on Archos G9 and provides test images. Plasma Active runs on standard Linux stacks, including Linux Kernel, Qt/QML, WebKit/HTML5 and KDE’s Plasma Framework. It uses existing free Linux technology and brings it to a spectrum of devices.
Plasma Active is an open source project. It was co-founded by Eva Brucherseifer, managing director of basysKom GmbH, and is providing the Linux platform and system integration for Plasma Active to run on.
