San Francisco, California – Previewing HTML5 content on iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches has always been a complicated and convoluted process. Now, with Tumult Hype 2.0 and Hype Reflect, users can instantly send documents to their iOS devices directly from Tumult Hype’s preview menu. Their creations play back in Hype Reflect exactly as they will in the final export. Hype Reflect’s mirror mode provides a live preview as documents are edited, eliminating the trouble designers face with different positioning, color, and text metrics between desktop and mobile. Tumult Hype 2.0 and Hype Reflect are the perfect pair for creating beautiful HTML5 content.
Along with instant iOS previews, Tumult Hype 2.0 adds many new features, including: audio actions, curved motion paths, web fonts, swipe and touch events, mobile export options. These new features empower users to create content that looks great, feels great, and sounds great on all browsers, smartphones, and tablets.
“Tumult Hype has been the top app for graphic designers making engaging HTML5 without writing code. With version 2.0 and Hype Reflect for iOS, they can take a leap forward in their design” says Ryan Nielsen, founder of Tumult Inc. He continued, “Audio, motion paths, and web fonts allows our users to create documents you wouldn’t typically think are possible on the web. Thanks to Hype Reflect and Hype 2.0’s new touch events and mobile export options, it’s easier than ever to create outstanding mobile HTML5 content. We’re incredibly proud of these apps, and can’t wait to see what’s created with them.”
Tumult Hype is primarily targeted at designers wanting to add effects to their sites, developers who need to make content for iOS devices, and HTML5 coders looking for more effective ways to improve interactivity. It supports the latest HTML5/CSS3 features and uses an intuitive keyframe-based animation system with a recorder to create effective motions and transitions. No coding is required, though animations can be extended through a Javascript API. Tumult Hype has been used by publications such as the LA Times, Washington Post, and Reuters for infographics, advertising agencies for animated ads, K-12 and higher education to create interactive lessons, NASA to show exploration roadmaps, ePub/iBook authors, and by many designers adding a “wow”-factor to their sites.
