IDELIX Launches IDELIX LabsBeta releases available on www.labs.idelix.com
October 11, 2006 - Vancouver, BC - IDELIX Software Inc. announced today the launch of IDELIX Labs (http://labs.idelix.com), a new Website that showcases some of the technologies and products under development by the IDELIX team and by IDELIX partners.
IDELIX Labs features beta releases of PDT-enabled products. Pliable Display Technology (PDT) by IDELIX is a visualization tool that facilitates and simplifies viewing and interaction with complex digital information. The site was launched with three new "Look" family products: LookOUT, LookLOCAL, and LookWMS.
LookOUT is a new add-in for Microsoft® Outlook® that enables users to quickly map search locations and directions from within Outlook®. LookOUT differs from other map connectors by taking a contact-centric approach, and leveraging the intuitive UI and quick comparison capabilities of LookLOCAL. LookLOCAL is an online mapping site where visitors can use a PDT lens to explore and interact with data from Google MapsTM, Yahoo!® Local Maps, and Windows® Live Local. This latest beta release of IDELIX's online mapping site features major improvements to the user experience.
LookWMS is a new WMS web map client that allows access and interaction with geospatial data accessed over the Internet from Web Map Servers that implement OpenGIS® specifications. There are a number of unique WMS client features in LookWMS designed to increase efficiency and usability. The PDT lens and transparency have been included to enable rapid comparison of data layers. For mobile workers , the LookWMS client also provides the ability to take data at multiple resolutions on the road when a network connection is not available.
"The feedback that we receive from customers and users of our applications is invaluable and is the driving force behind the new user interface in LookLOCAL," stated IDELIX CEO Phil Attfield. "IDELIX Labs was born out of this tremendous response. We have created a forum for ideas. We are aiming to regularly add new applications to the site, our own and those of our partners. We hope that our customers will continue to engage with us. Their feedback and ideas represent a significant driver of our efforts."
Check back on IDELIX Labs for exciting new applications that relate to Adobe® Acrobat® and smart phones. IDELIX is inviting all partner OEMs to participate in IDELIX Labs as a forum for their Beta release technologies.
