BROWSE3D RELEASES NEXT GENERATION BROWSER
Desktop
Product First Major Improvement in Browser Technology in Years
Chantilly, VA –
January 22, 2002 – Browse3D Corporation (www.browse3d.com), a developer of
products for finding, organizing, saving, and exchanging Web-based content,
announces the availability of the Browse3D Browser. The beta version of this desktop product debuted at COMDEX in
November 2001 where it was named “Best Internet Software” and generated
interest from thousands of potential customers. The browser uses reverse-plug-in
technology to transform a standard two-dimensional browser into a highly
functional three-dimensional tool.
The Browse3D Browser allows users to:
- View
up to 16 Web pages at one time and then 16 more with the click of the mouse
- View their entire back history visually
- Select a page from the back history and return there instantly (even if they were
there 20 Web pages ago)
- Select links and fetch new Web pages without interrupting the current page view
- Speed up Web searches by pre-fetching user-selected Web pages from the search list
- Save multiple active and static pages by making them “sticky” to create rooms of
current research
- Save rooms containing many Web pages into one compact file that can be shared with
colleagues
- Eliminate pop-up windows
- Compare multiple items from different Web sites
in one view while shopping
- Save and track multiple auction items as they progress through the sale process
“The Browse3D Browser is a real
break-through product to both simplify and speed searches,” said Dr. Bert
Biles, who serves as a “technology scout” for Kansas State University. Dr. Biles saw the product at COMDEX and is
now enthusiastically using the browser.
“The ability to capture and save selected Web pages, groups of Web
pages, and complete visual navigational paths through the Internet helps make
searches more effective and provides a valuable tool for organizing and sharing
Internet-based research.”
Browse3D integrates
with a standard browser to offer a three-walled display of any Web site. The center wall is the current active
page. The right wall displays thumbnail
images of forward links from the active page and the left wall shows thumbnail
images of backward links. By providing
these thumbnail views, users can see at a glance where they are, where they are
going, and where they have been. The
ability to “stick” these pages in a room and refer back to them saves endless
searching and back clicks.
Browse3D
Releases Next Generation Browser/Page 2
Designed for Web users
either at work or at home, the product facilitates finding, organizing,
comparing, saving, and exchanging Web-based information. Specific examples of users who will benefit
greatly from the Browse3D Browser include researchers, analysts, attorneys, and
individuals doing corporate or educational data gathering via the Internet or
intranets. The tool also speeds Web
browsing, even on slower modems, by pre-fetching Web pages selected by the
user, creating a much more efficient way to use today’s popular search engines. As a shopping tool, the Browse3D Browser
lets users compare multiple items from different Web sites in one view, or save
and track multiple auction items as they progress through the sale
process.
“The reaction the product
garnered at COMDEX convinced me that lots of people share my frustration of
clicking the ‘back’ button to find a page,” said Dave Shuping, President and
CEO of Browse3D. “We built this product
to increase Internet productivity and the concept seems to be catching on. One television station that saw a
demonstration reported that ‘Browse3D is to surfing the web, what a Ferrari is
to driving.’ We want to help people
speed around the Web easily and eliminate going in reverse or creeping along.”
