New app for Voice Control and Custom Control Panels on any device

First of all-Hi Folk's!
Having been an avid gamer for an awful long time,and a huge fan of Silent Hunter 3 (GWX),i figured this would be the ideal place to introduce something we have been working on for a while now-the RedShift Operating System.

RedShift is a new app with a variety of features to enhance gameplay,and increase immersiveness.
It allows full Voice Control of any games,with no limit on how many seperate controls/commands you can have.
It also brings custom control panels which can be used on almost anything-PC Monitor,Touchscreen,Tablet,Ipad,Iphone etc.
The control panels are totally user made/configurable,and allow use of any background/foreground images for control panels/buttons etc,and can even integrate video in the background.
Redshift is also fully state-aware between the devices
This allows for some very nice custom setups!

Another side of RedShift is its custom Interbus Communications Protocol-Allowing for user to user,or "group" data sharing.
This data can be anything you wish-You can have tactical maps/plans/positions/reports etc-broadcast directly to the entire groups screens with just a single word from you.
(Interbus is currently working-but not yet fully open for public use until we tie up some loose ends with it-But the system is highly promising.)
Obviously the possibilities are limited only by the users creativity and time put into their designs.


So-Why am i posting this here?
Well-RedShift is very suited to games like Sub Sims (or any other sim where voice control/panels are desireable),and quite frankly-This is about the best place anywhere to discuss everything Sub sim related!
We do also have a Silent Hunter 3 profile that has already been created by one of our early testers.
It is a fairly simple profile,but im fairly sure there are guys on here who could do wonders with the system.

Redshift is driven by a very simple script system,that is easy to learn/modify,and the website contains a little information to get you started.
(Really need to sort the documentation and guides etc out-Forums are VERY new and right now rather empty!)

What we are looking for is simple-RedShift is just entering Open Beta,and needs some interested folk's to simply start using the system,and creating their own profiles.

All you need to have a look and participate is Chrome browser (windows) or your ipad/iphone etc. (Yes,RedShift runs within a browser environment-No major downloads or anything)

Interested in such a system?
Head on over to redshiftoperatingsystem.com to sign up for the forums (Simply for support/script/control questions etc rather than flood subsim with them).
Instructions for running RedShift can be found there,and the system itself can be accessed directly from https://redshiftos.com/nova
RedShift is free for all to use during the beta period,and the scripts for game controls etc will always be free to share/use etc.

Thank you for taking the time to read this wall of text,and thank you once again to Neal for allowing me to announce this here
