NEW TECHNOLOGY JOINS IMAGES AND INFORMATION TOGETHER, NO MATTER WHERE THEY GO
Nextvision unveils new technology to join images and information together in a 100% seamless way, regardless of software or hardware platforms. This technology takes images to the next level, making them "have their own memory".
Net. CyberCards (nCC for short), the name of this technology, will let users
Package together two valuable items: images and their related info. By taking
Advantage of file format features, the image's visual information and
Functionality remain unaffected.
The information is organized in user-friendly packets called "Cards", which
Can then be embedded on the popular JPEG, GIF and PNG image formats.
These "Cards" can be accessed by any "nCC-aware" application on any hardware platform, for the purposes of documentation, database management, contact promotion and much more. nCC-powered images are software and hardware independent, can be shared on the Internet, travel by email, distributed by web servers, floppy disks, CD's, DVD's or any digital medium that preserves their file format. This makes net. CyberCards a strong candidate to a world standard in image-related data exchange.
Net. CyberCards are useful on almost every task involving digital images: From
Digital camera users that want to describe their precious images, regardless
Of what application they are going to use after, to the industrial environment
Where automatically taken pictures must be documented with time-sensitive
Data, a lot of new things that seemed impossible up to now can be done with
This technology.
Nextvision immediately makes available several free software packages that
Allow everyone to get hold of this technology right now: A generator of
NCC Cards, a Viewer, a Java Applet and a developer's SDK.
While net. CyberCards is yet on the start-up phase, third-party support is
Already building-up: IrfanView, one of the most popular image viewers in the
World, already supports net. CyberCards technology. Developed by Irfan
Skiljan, its version 3.20 features a plugin that allows access to the nCC
Cards and all their information. Other strategic partnerships are being
Forged and will be announced as they become official.
NextVision is a young company focused on high-tech consumer software solutions for the online world, and is backed by the Vangest Group, a holding of high technology companies based in Marinha Grande, Portugal.
