Welcome to the PDT Layers Demo help manual by IDELIX Software Inc. This manual is intended to help you get started using the PDT Layers Demo and to answer any questions that may arise while you are working with it.

What is the PDT Layers Demo?
The PDT Layers Demo is a technology demonstration tool. It is powered by Pliable Display Technology (PDT), a Software Development Kit developed by IDELIX Software Inc. This Demo uses a series of multiple images to demonstrate how PDT can be used to visualize either multiple images, or multiple layers of data. For the purposes of this help document, we will use "layers" and "images" interchangeably. The PDT Layers Demo demonstrates the ability to view and edit two images simultaneously: one image is viewed outside the lens (in the background) while a second image is viewed inside the lens.
The figure below illustrates the PDT Layers Demo in action using two different images of the same object. The background image shows a solid 3D model, while the lens reveals the internal structure of the object. In this case the lens also shows a magnified view of the object.
The PDT Layers Demo enables you to intuitively navigate and interpret two layers of information. By extending traditional zoom and pan capabilities, a PDT lens allows you to view magnified detail within a region of interest without losing a view of the surrounding context. In the demo, the process of editing modifies both image layers, highlighting the ability to edit or mark-up magnified detail and have it reflect accurately on the base image layer.
Please have a look at the Known Issues section before you start.
