The Tonight Show's Conan O'Brien had some good fun with the announcement of Disney parks having descriptions available to visitors on Softeq's Durateq handheld device. The project was a collaboration between Disney, HP, WGBH's Media Access Group and Softeq to make Disney parks more enjoyable for guests who are blind or have vision loss.

Houston, TX — October 30th, 2009: zGames, a division of Softeq Development Corporation, proudly announces v1.1, the latest version of their augmented reality iPhone app for the iPhone 3GS and OS 3.1.

zGhost v1.1 will allow users to unlock more ghosts, experience many new scarier (freak me out) jump scenes and utilize a ghost radar to make ghost hunting even easier. Included is a special Halloween Mode you won’t want to miss. Beginning the first minute of Halloween (10/31), multiple ghosts appear simultaneously and see ghosts that only appear on Halloween Night. If you try and stare at them for more than 5 — 10 seconds they try and scare you.

We are also excited to announce with the release of zGhost v1.1 there is a feature ghost named JINX and a 10% savings from our friends at JINX Clothing Company! To see JINX, download and run zGhost v1.1. Select “Cheats” from the main menu and enter the code “JINX”. The best way to see JINX is to check the “Prank Mode” from “Setup” in the main menu. To receive your 10% savings from JINX Clothing Company, simply enter the promo code ZGHOST at checkout. A special thanks to JINX for allowing this promotion to run through November 12th, 2009.

This update is free for existing zGhost customers, and v1.1 can be downloaded for $0.99 on the App Store here.
