Wireless Search Technology in Japan Displays Data in 3D

(Business News & Technology News, 26 Jul 2006)

GeoVector Corp. has announced the "3D Search Technology" for mobile phones. This innovative technology allows users to obtain information by selecting objects on a map displayed in 3D on the screen of their mobile phone. This 3D map, generated via GPS technology and a built-in compass, creates an intuitive means for the user to interact with the world around them.

To complement its GViD Pointing Platform, GeoVector has teamed up with an impressive array of partners including NEC Magnus Communications, NETDIMENSION, CAD CENTER Corp., Asia Air Survey Co., Asahi Kasei Microsystems, and Mapion.

"This has been our dream, ever since GeoVector began researching, prototyping and patenting our pointing search technology in the early 1990s," said Peter Ellenby, GeoVector's Director of New Media. "Mobile devices can now utilize a variety of sensors such as GPS and compasses to have total spatial awareness."

GeoVector provides an open framework and extensive support with NEC Magnus to enable the deployment of pointing based applications.
