Intellectronix LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new software Web Projector 1.0(http://www.intellectronix.com/webpro/) .

Web Projector brings the functionality of the traditional slide projector to the realm of the WWW. It is a novel and powerful application for web publishing the screen output of MS Windows programs and other data sources. Web Projector enables its user to select a target area on his or her desktop or another data source such as a scanner or digital camera and interactively or continuously project it onto a web page. The projected image can pass through a user specified image processing pipeline containing a variety of sophisticated image processing and manipulation operations. Compared to traditional slide projectors that can only scale/zoom an image, our (optional) image processing pipeline equips Web Projector with a powerful and almost magical "lens". This innovative approach can render the projected images in formats suitable for easier and faster viewing from a wide class of devices including mobile devices with small, black-and-white, low-resolution displays. Mobile devices are often connected to the Internet through low-bandwidth communication links and can access faster small, preprocessed (grayscaled, scaled down, etc.) images, which can be easily generated with the help of Web Projector. Web Projector offers many options for what can be captured and projected. One can publish the image of an active window, active client, the whole desktop, etc.

SAMPLE APPLICATIONS:

The following list contains several examples of Web Projector's many applications:

- Teachers or sales professionals can use Web Projector to give online presentations, lectures or demonstrations. They can project their slides directly from their software(e.g. Power Point) or scanners. Web Projector can turn a scanner connected to a networked PC into a powerful internet equivalent of the traditional slide projector.

- Knowledge workers can use Web Projector to web publish and/or sell the output of their applications. A financial analyst could use Web Projector to project continuously and automatically the windows of his stock charting applications onto a secure, password protected web site. Thus the output of his work could be made available for purchase on a pay-per-view or subscription basis. Web Projector can enable any knowledge worker to easily enter the world of e-commerce and sell or freely distribute his or her work.

- Web Projector can be used as a tool for instant Web enabling of existing Windows enterprise applications. A typical Windows enterprise application is running on a single networked PC on a company's local area network. It may have an open window containing real-time charts of industrial processes or other business related information. In order to view the output of this application all of its users may have to walk over to the machine on which the application is running. Web Projector can make the output or parts of the output of a given Windows application available for easy viewing on an Intranet or Internet web site. Morever, the projected images, can be automatically preprocessed(grayscaled, scaled down, etc.) so that they can be accessed quickly through mobile devices with small, black-and-white, low-resolution displays. Web Projector Enterprise Edition and Web Projector Server will provide enterprise users with more X Windows-like functionality as well as additional innovative mobile computing and image processing and manipulation features.

- Web Projector is an indispensible tool for instant web enabling of digital cameras and providing the with an additional flexible image processing software layer. The acquired pictures can be automatically pre-processed and uploaded to web sites over low-bandwidth wireless links. From there the images can be downloaded quickly by other mobile users.
