--Cooliris Claims Interface Lets Users Scan Significantly More Media than Standard Web Interfaces
In a posting on its corporate blog, Wednesday, visual navigation specialist, Cooliris (note: the company's technologies were featured at [itvt]'s TV of Tomorrow Show in San Francisco earlier this year), announced that CBS-owned broadband video/community site, TV.com (offers full episodes, clips, entertainment news, show summaries, polls, forums and more), is using its flagship Cooliris Embed Wall as the interface for its Shows page (http://www.tv.com/shows).
Cooliris claims that the Embed Wall's distinctive 3D interface allows users to scan through significantly more media content than is possible when using a standard Web interface. On TV.com, the interface lets users browse a wall of thumbnails, or filter by genre to select episode summaries, guides and videos.
Earlier this year, Cooliris announced that it had secured over $15 million in Series B funding from a group of investors that includes Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, DAG Ventures, The Westly Group and the T-Mobile Venture Fund (see the article published on itvt.com, April 13th).
