*ViewPlus Announces New IVEO (v.2) - Hands-on Learning System*

**
*Corvallis, Oregon USA, Wednesday, Feburary 6, 2008 -* Today ViewPlus announced the release of the new IVEO Hands-on Learning System (v.2). IVEO is a multi-sensory learning system that makes teaching of visual concepts — diagrams, images and even art — more complete and interactive, while incorporating tools to better accommodate people with visual or learning disabilities.
The IVEO system includes a touch-sensitive pad on which raised or embossed templates are placed. Students can touch the tactile pictures and diagrams on the pad while the software speaks descriptions of the objects being touched. Descriptions can include computer speech, recorded speech, sounds, music or even links to web pages or computer files that contain information about objects on the tactile template.
Scientific studies demonstrate that people learn better when given information through simultaneous use of the three learning modalities — touch, sound and sight — as is done with the IVEO Hands-on Learning System. Combining the senses when studying allows students to learn faster and retain knowledge longer. This universal approach is also inclusive of people with sensory disabilities.
The IVEO Touchpad interacts with any of three IVEO software options: IVEO Viewer, IVEO Creator and IVEO Creator Pro. IVEO Viewer is a free downloadable program for interactive audio, tactile and visual access to images. IVEO Creator allows users to generate new IVEO files and IVEO Creator Pro adds the ability to import and scan existing electronic and paper materials into the IVEO system.
