IDELIX Releases EagleView Image Viewer for Windows Mobile 5.0 Devices

The IDELIX team also releases the LookLOCAL Firefox® toolbar beta on IDELIX Labs
December 20, 2006 - Vancouver, BC - IDELIX Software Inc. announced today the release of EagleView, a new JPIP image-viewing client designed for the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system and optimized for Palm's Treo 700W series smartphones. IDELIX also launched a Firefox toolbar extension for LookLOCAL to further simplify online mapping tasks.
EagleView is designed to optimize the wavelet compression and transmission capabilities of the JPEG 2000 standard. In the bandwidth-constrained architecture of most smartphones and PDAs, users can quickly retrieve and view a low-resolution version of large images stored on a remote server. EagleView includes Pliable Display Technology (PDT), a patented visualization technology from IDELIX. PDT complements the JPEG 2000 standard to provide a reduction in bandwidth usage when compared to other image client-server architectures, while allowing the user to maximize the use of limited screen real estate. A PDT lens can be positioned over an area of interest within an image and magnified to a higher resolution of detail. Only the higher resolution detail in the area defined by the boundaries of the PDT lens will be decompressed from the JPEG 2000 file, not the entire image. The result is reduced bandwidth requirement, more efficient navigation, and controlled accessibility to relevant information.
"PDT-enabled JPIP clients have earned top ratings in tests by Canadian, US, and Coalition military forces," commented IDELIX CEO Philip Attfield. "First responders and warfighters can now use EagleView on a small, easily portable device to access the vast wealth of geospatial-intelligence over limited bandwidth."
With all forecasts predicting continued growth in the mobile sector, the IDELIX team is continuing its research in new User Interface design and technologies for small screen devices. LookMOBILE, a PDT-enabled image viewer for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices will be released in January as a beta on IDELIX Labs http://labs.idelix.com. The application features a new Windows Mobile specific UI design for PDT on small touch screens and allows users to view and annotate JPEG, Windows Bitmap, and TIFF image file formats.
"Viewing and interacting with rich image files on small screen devices is a visualization challenge," noted IDELIX CTO Dr. David Baar. "Our military and commercial customers are relying on our team's expertise to build solutions that equip their mobile forces with the information they need, where and when they need it."
In addition to working on small screen device UI solutions, IDELIX continues to develop its online mapping solution. With a new release of LookLOCAL anticipated in January, the team has released a Firefox extension for LookLOCAL to further simplify the online mapping experience for users. The Firefox toolbar is available as a free download from IDELIX Labs at http://labs.idelix.com. IDELIX Labs is a showcase for new and emerging IDELIX technologies.
