HyperSense is the easy to use HyperCardTM compatible authoring environment that unlocks the power of NEXTSTEP for everyone. It lets you make your own Interactive Documents.

• Create documents that are not just text and graphics, but actually "interact" with the user.
• Make changes easily to fit your needs.
• Easily create a database for storing and organizing your information, with the flexibility to change the structure at any time, including the ability to have different sets of data items on different records.
• Develop you ideas for programs without having to learn an arcane programming language. HyperSense allows you to experiment with different ideas and quickly develop prototypes.

A HyperSense Document can be as simple as a one-page memo or as complex as a complete multimedia application. Here are some ideas of things you can do:

• Create Hypertext Books
• Design Educational Courseware
• Construct Software For Yourself And Others
• Prepare Multimedia Presentations
• Develop Interactive Business Training Systems
• Lay Out And Publish PostScript Documents

By simply dragging buttons, fields, graphics and other elements into place, you can create Interactive Documents like these:

• Your own Custom Database or Multimedia Catalog, complete with pictures, sounds and text.
• An Interactive Book, which lets you click on "hot" areas of a picture or page to jump to another page, show pictures or play recorded sounds.

The SenseTalkä scripting language gives you the power and flexibility you need to create sophisticated applications. Yet SenseTalk's power is easy to use. SenseTalk scripts are remarkably similar to standard English, making them easy to read, write, and understand. Our online reference tools and the ability to easily copy and modify pre-written scripts will have you creating your own custom applications in no timeÐeven if you don't know anything about programming.

If you've used HyperTalkâ on the Macintosh, you'll feel right at home with SenseTalk. But once you've experienced the advantages of HyperSense's superior development environment, you may never want to use anything else.

No. It's true that experienced programmers will find HyperSense to be a useful tool for developing both prototypes and finished applications, quickly and easily. In fact, HyperSense is not designed primarily as a programming tool. HyperSense offers different things to different people, however, it is more a general-purpose tool for creating and manipulating multimedia documents and applications. In such a way HyperSense serves the needs of many different types of users.

By combining a rich document architecture with the ease of drag-and-drop creation, plus a versatile "English-like" scripting language, HyperSense offers a unique combination of power, flexibility, and ease of use that is unmatched by any other program.
