Spectasia offers HUD-like navigation ..

Spectasia brings fighter-pilot technology to your PC to provide intuitive program and file navigation. The "instantly lookable" 3D layout makes items easier to spot, increasing productivity. This "Head Up Display" is similar to screens used in advanced fighter jets, and provides a clearly distinguishable angle-of-view and also depth location for every item. Spectasia reduces the time you spend searching for items, and avoids wasted clicks and embarrassing retrieval uncertainties.

Take a look for yourself ..

A Lookable User Interface ..

Spectasia is a new way to access content visually; named a Lookable User Interface.

Here, wide-angle perspective creates a fixed 3D location for every item. Pinpointing any link is then as easy as looking towards it, and you can select items much faster than with Menus and lists !

Lost on your PC or Mobile Phone ?

Consider the task of selecting an item from amongst the many 1000's of web bookmarks, contact lists and files resident on your PC or mobile phone. Unfortunately, with Menus, it is all to common to spend several minutes searching around for a single item.

With Spectasia you can say goodbye to all this aimless searching.

Here you scan broad information views, and use your visual memory to lead you straight to the item you want to find. And less time spent staring at the screen means a fresher outlook and significantly reduced eye-fatigue !

Whether you are a home, business or corporate user, Spectasia lets you work faster and smarter ..

For Home users ..

Spectasia is absolutely the fastest way to find any item on your PC or mobile device. Selection is as easy as first scanning a rich 3D panorama, prior to then focusing in on interesting items in a snap.

For Small Business users ..

Small Business users will find that Spectasia provides a significant saving in retrieval time. Memory tests prove that users can remember the precise 3D locations of many items. Thus the need to search and then re-search the screen for the same items, over and over again, and day after day, is eliminated.

For Enterprise users ..

Spectasia is ideal for navigating corporate networks. Gone is the need to read long lists of text. Gone also is the need to open up multiple Menu levels searching for items whose location is who-knows-where. Here you simply look for what you want, and almost before you realize what has happened, you already have it.

Ergonomic Retrieval

With Spectasia item selection is faster also less fiddly than with other retrieval methods.

Gone is the requirement to squint hard to read long lists of text items. Gone also is the need to open up multiple menu levels searching for items whose location is who-knows-where.

With Spectasia you simply scan one or two broad panoramas, and before you know it you see what you are looking for.

Spectasia operates like a Head Up Display

Spectasia is in some respects similar to a "Head Up Display" used by a fighter pilot. The central aim here being one and the same, that is rapid and timely access to information, and in a 3D visual form that maximizes the direct perception of item locations.

By establishing a clearly distinguishable angle-of-view and also depth location for every item, Spectasia is able to amplify knowledge and memory of content.

Spectasia reduces eye and click fatigue

Spectasia reduces the commonly experienced problems of eye and click fatigue; being side affects which are the result of constantly looking at, and interacting with, long lists of items on the display screen.

With Spectasia the repetitive scanning procedures required to find any item are considerably reduced, thereby eliminating the need to peer or stare at the screen anywhere near as intensly as you must with lists of text.

Furthermore, with Spectasia the number and frequency of experimental "clicks" required to find any item are significantly reduced.

Customers are advised that Spectasia Mac Edition has been designed to run on the latest Mac OSX Leopard system and we suggest that you do not install it on any other types of Mac systems, and we will not support installations on any other operating system.

Why you need Spectasia ..

Right now, information presentation on PCs, mobiles and PDAs is pretty poor, and low levels of retrieval efficiency are the norm. The primary reason is an over-reliance on Menus and lists of text.

Menus force users to read and scan long lists of text, and items are obscured by visual clutter. Users have a tendency to become lost, and can forget both what they have seen, how to find it again, and even what they were looking for in the first place !

Spectasia accelerates retrieval ..

As an alternative, Spectasia allows you to explore content simply by directing your gaze towards interesting items.

Formerly static and linear content is brought to life by means of layered information galleries. Here rich panoramic scenes capitalize on our natural ability to rapidly survey a wide-field view prior to then focusing in on items in a snap.

Put simply, Spectasia takes the hassle out of locating items. It will also increase your knowledge of content locations with every session, helping you find items even faster the next time.

It will boost your productivity

Studies show that people waste up to 50 percent of their time scrambling to find information.

Spectasia helps because it eliminates the need to continually search around your display screen, trying to find the same items, over and over again, and day after day.

More often than not, with Spectasia, you can spot items in an instant.

Spectasia versus the Mac Doc

Is Spectasia faster for retrieval than the Mac Doc ?

Well, it depends. If you are just looking for one of 6-7 commonly used items, then Spectasia is no faster.

However, if you are searching through upwards of 20 - 100's of items then Spectasia is much more efficient than the Mac Doc.

Why search when you can Look ?

The in-built search tools now found in OSX and Windows Vista are usefull utilities when you want to find something obscure or else locate an item that you have lost. However they are far too slow, fiddly and time-consuming to use several times a day.

Quickly remembering item names, giving correct spellings, plus typing speed / accuracy are major issues here.

Spectasia, on the other hand, provides a convenient way to lay your eyes (and mouse) on something in less than 5 seconds flat.

All things considered, you find items much faster with Spectasia !
