ASHLAND OR -- August 10, 2004 -- Further advancing its groundbreaking Envision application, Open Door Networks today announced "Web show of the Week." Each week, on Tuesdays, Open Door will make available a free Envision "Web show." Web shows work with Envision to display images from particular Web sites outside the confining windows of traditional Web browsers. Web show files contain the URL (Web address) of the site, along with display parameters such as time between images, background color and transition effect.
"Envision ships with over 100 pre-built shows that highlight many of the coolest sites on the Web," said Alan Oppenheimer, Open Door's president. "But the Web is a very dynamic place, and amazing new sites are being added and discovered all the time. With 'Show of the Week' we hope to bring our users many of these new Web 'sights.'" The first Web show of the week, available immediately from http://www.opendoor.com/envision/, features stunning full-screen artwork created using fractals, self-similar mathematically-created objects.
Envision, shipping last month, is Open Door's innovative new Web viewing application. As "the new way to experience the Web," Envision lets Macintosh users explore the Web's increasingly visual nature in new ways, such as through its full screen, thumbnail and screen saver views. Envision also helps Macs become part of the increasingly wired (or unwired) home. Whether on a living room coffee table, or feeding a TV or wall-mounted flat panel display, an Internet-connected Mac running Envision creates a new fusion of art, entertainment and information.
A free evaluation version of Envision for Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later is available for download from http://www.opendoor.com/envision/ . Special introductory pricing for Envision is in effect through August 15.
