CppCon 2017: trip report
During the last week of September I attended the 2017 edition of CppCon, in Bellevue, WA. Unusually late due to my presence at Qt World Summit which took place just after it, here’s my trip report.
Qi (Quantitive Imaging Systems) case study Solving Cancer with Qt 3D
Solving cancer is probably the biggest mystery that we see unravel in our life. This is a complex one because cancer is not a single disease, there are a myriad of aspects that need to be uncovered. Qi (Quantitive Imaging Systems) images biopsies from patients and then labels individual cells with over a hundred biomarkers. […]
KDAB, MyScript and Qt Company to create new, non-distractive input method for the Automotive Industry
KDAB will be partnering with MyScript and The Qt Company to incorporate MyScript’s handwriting input technology into the Qt Automotive Suite. This integration will enable multimodal input capabilities using either the existing Qt Virtual Keyboard or a new handwriting input panel powered by MyScript technology. KDAB’s Jan Arne Petersen demonstrated some of the potential of […]
Clazy Results Visualizer for Qt Web UI to view clazy and gcc warnings

Lots of lights: Generating cities Data visualization with Qt 3D, OpenGL and C++
Sometimes data visualization might call for more than a graph – you need to visualize complex data, such as that generated by city lighting, in three dimensions to get the full effect. KDAB decided to put together a showcase for the Qt World Summit that allowed us to demonstrate Qt 3D’s capabilities as a performant […]
