Description: A new type of visitor information system designed for the king-penguins house in Berlin Zoologischer Garten with DeepaMehta2.08be as a visual content management system.
Technics / Concepts: A freshly designed and purely ActionScript3 / SVG based user interface, implementing DeepaMehta`s unique Bring-To-Me-Navigation.
Idea: Translating DeepaMehta`s concept of stable views to a sensible touch display and trying to make explorative browsing (iterative information retrieval) fun.
Next: Choose the language in which you want to inform yourself about the king penguin or try to launch http://inputgeil.de/peng/app.swf directly in your browser.
Made in cooperation with Berlin Zoologischen Garten and the Beuth Hoschchule Berlin in the scope of the interdisciplinary R&D BAER Project.

Many thanks, also to our Professors who asked for our contribution of the final publication of the BAER Project. The book was published in German with an english abstract.
After 3 and 1/2 years of work, 7 beta releases, 5 weeks after schedule, at Aug 7, 2020 DMX 5.0 has finally arrived.
The focus of this final milestone was on improving the DMX development experience. The APIs are consolidated, and a DMX Developer Guide is available, as well as API docs. There are minor Webclient UI improvements and crucial bug fixes as well. For more information and download link see this forum posting.
Note: since version 5 DeepaMehta is called "DMX".
DMX 5.0-beta-4 is released at July 22, 2019. Two and a half years in the making of DMX (formerly "DeepaMehta 5") this is the first release that provides Data Guarantee. That is when you install a newer version in the future (beta-5, …) your content will be migrated automatically. Start with DMX 5.0-beta-4 today and your content will be safe. Further highlight features and improvements of this release include Pinnable Detail Panel, up to 10 times faster topicmap rendering performance, improved interaction with topic/association details, and improved handling of HTML links.
