Web Browsing In A Cinematic Fashion: Cooliris
Cooliris is a browser plugin and a web development tool that offers to the users a new web discovery experience. Based on Cooliris, the browsing actions are performed in a cinematic way from a “3D Wall” containing images, videos and other media. The desired multimedia files could be found more intuitively by a natural “visual” navigation through the elements displayed on a customizable wall in an eye catching slideshow.
The web images search with Cooliris is maybe the most efficient, if we refer at the results consistency, quality and the degree of compatibility with a certain search query. For example, Google Image Search, Flickr, YouTube and other similar websites can be queried with the same search query without being the need to retype the keywords or key phrase.
If you will double click on an image, a slideshow in full screen will be enabled into your web browser. There are available various options to play, pause or perform a faster navigation forward or backward in case of every published slideshow.
Cooliris makes also easier the publishing of image galleries and slideshows and generally, of any other elements related to the RSS Media standard, like videos, into an appealing form for readers. The bloggers which use the WordPress platform can integrate Cooliris into their websites in a simple manner with the help of a ready made plugin.
As an add-on, Cooliris enhances the functionality of the most common web browsers ( Internet Explorer 6,7 and 8, Firefox 2 and 3, Safari 3 and 4, Flock 2) and is compatible with Windows (XP and Vista) and respectively Mac OS X (Tiger and Leopard). All flavors of Cooliris utility (including the version designated to work on iPhone) are available for free download from the official website.
