Announcement   Announcement : Ferrule Media introduces new software developed using SAM, AmigaOS 4.1 and Holly
   posted by fuskoSCN on 4-Jan-2009 11:26:07 (3945 reads)
To help boost the amiga-spirit in 2009 i would like to give some information that hopefully will inspire the amigausers on this site!

I'm one of the founders of Ferrule Media (www.ferrule-media.no), a new company that is developing software and information-channels to be used in dentistry. We are now in the early process of releasing our software in Norway and Denmark. I'm a dentist of profession and an ex amiga-demoscene-graphician.


We do all our development using OS4/OS4.1 and Hollywood/Hollywood Designer

Ferrule Media has at the moment finished two projects:

Project 1 :

Dental Kanal - an informationchannel to be used in dentists waitingroom. At the moment we cover 23 topics about dentistry. These topics are displayed to the patients while they wait for their treatment.

Project 2 :

Dental Info - a program that helps the dentist in the process of informing patients while they get their treatment in the dental-chair. This is done by offering a series of illustrations to cover both problems and treatment of different topics in dentistry.

On our homepage www.ferrule-media. it is possible to download demos of our programs to Windows and macOS. There are also lots of screenshots of the graphical userinterface and design. (and remember that everything is made using amigaOS 4 / 4.1 and Hollywood Designer). The homepage is available in norwegian and danish.

We presented Dental Kanal and Dental Info to the public in December08 with great success! We believe that 2009 will become an interesting year.


In the end I would like to send some special grettings to Andreas Falkenhahn!. Andreas has done a superb job developing his products Hollywood and Hollywood Designer. With his software we are able to produce software using amigas an then simply compile versions to support windows, macos in addition to all flavors of amigaOS. It is really amazing!

I do hope that more users will buy SAM, OS4.1 and Hollywood / Hollywood Designer and see what it has to offer!

best regards

Excellent news to see people using Amiga based apps in the "real world", rather than just for hobby stuff.

So, did you tell them that it was created using an Amiga ?

I like the loyal support.

The system also looks very professional and modern.

I'm sure it will be a very reliable and friendly system for all concerned.

I hope more practical uses are found for the system.

Now this is the kind of dentist I'll probably wouldn't be afraid of to go to! You don't happen to treat people in the Dutch Eindhoven area, do you?

Hi there!

We do plan to support other languages in the future - Both Dental Kanal and Dental Info are developed with that in mind. Once all text is translated it will only take a few days to remake the software in order to support other languages.

All gfx and design are made by a my favoritte demoscene-graphician. He is called Morgan "Splif" Thomas, and is located in Paris (France). His homepage is www.bwoup.com.


If you want to try out the demos I will give you some hints :

Dental Kanal : The pc/mac-demos on the homepage are in a lower resolution than the actual product. The correct resolution is 1366 * 768.

Dental Info : the demo is limited to only show illustrations about dental-Implants. Here is some info about how to get the most out of the software :

The mainscreen will show you the 16 topics - 8 topics on each page, and you switch the page by pressing the large arrows.

By pressing a topic you will enter the illustrations :

1) If you click on an illustration it will "zoom" in or out - it will come in handy if the patient sits far from screen.

2) On the illustration-screen you will see a "ferrule media"-logo on the bottom to the right. If you click on the logo you will enter a new meny with an overview of all illustrations present at the given topic, with written descriptions to each picture. This is added to give the dentist an overview of what illustrations are present, and learn how to use the program quicker.

3) On the main-screen there is a info-button - by pressing this you will enter a limitied version of our homepage.

Best regards

Actually we met another amiga-user (software developer) at the dentist gathering by coincidence - he was amazed when we told him that used amigas to develop our software :)

@firbod

To demonstrate our products we used some of our developermachines (a couple of SAMs) and a PC running Windows.

I saw this news without realising who posted it. But then i saw dentist and ex amiga demoscener so it caught my attention. It had to be Fusko :) (how the hell did i know you were a dentist in the first place?). It got even better when i read that Splif was doing the design and graphics (he is goooood).

Great work Fusko :)
