Technology	Application Summary
Intel® Distributed MOO	The Intel Distributed MOO was a Windows* application that let you visit multi-user 3D virtual spaces and create your own virtual spaces for others to visit. Intel Distributed MOO used multi-user environment technology to demonstrate personal expression in distributed multi-user worlds.
Intel® Smart News Reader	The Intel Smart News Reader was an experimental software application designed to run on specified Windows applications. The Intel Smart News Reader was designed to talk to a Net News Transport Protocol (NNTP) news server and provide access to Usenet* newsgroups. In addition to standard news reader features, the Intel Smart News Reader incorporated two information management technologies: Information Evaluation and Objectify. These technologies allowed users to traverse large newsgroups. Information Evaluation allowed each user to sort articles in newsgroups according to his or her own likes and dislikes. The Objectify program was designed to give users quick access to their calendar, email, web browser, etc. by clicking on highlighted words. The Intel Smart News Reader used Information Evaluation technology to read articles. It scored each article based on the user's interests. After choosing preferences on as few as 50 articles, the Intel Smart News Reader sorted articles by these identified preferences and put those articles at the top of the list. If the user's interests changed, they could adjust the feedback mechanism and resubmit their likes and dislikes.
Intel® Web Publishing System	When publishing pages on the Internet or Intranet, web authors typically engaged specialists who actually posted the content on the web. Intel Web Publishing System 2.0 was designed to automate existing web publishing technologies to get content posted to a web server. The Intel Web Publishing System 2.0 used CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripting to automate content submission and to build the page with the link to submitted content. This enabled the author of the page to complete some steps traditionally done only by web masters. The Intel Web Publishing System 2.0 contained two tools: a submission tool for the client, and a publishing tool for the web server. These tools were designed to work together to create a publishing system. Once installed, users could publish content to either remote or local web servers, coordinating initially with the web master to establish the directory location. Once a directory location was established the author could post pages to the web themselves.
Intel® Internet Party Line	The Intel Internet Party Line was a Windows* application designed for real-time, multi-party audio chat over the Internet. Intel Internet Party Line used queued audio technology to enable group conversations over the high-latency parts of the Internet. Rather than mixing audio from multiple people, Internet Party Line queued each person's statements and played them serially, allowing each person to talk without interrupting the others. Like serial text chat lines users could see who was talking, because the speakers name was highlighted as commentary was queued into the conversation.
Intel® Internet Postcard	The Intel Internet Postcard was developed to allow users to send graphical and animated postcards across the Internet or within their company's intranet. Users could create these postcards by using Java* applets, such as those using graphics, audio, text, and animation. Transmission was point-to-point (sender to recipient) across the Internet or intranet. The Intel Architecture Labs' goal was to see electronic mail evolve to richer media, much like the Web has developed. This program was developed as an example of what mail could be like if it included rich media.
Intel® Video Tug of War	A game application, called Intel Video Tug of War, was built around existing technologies to demonstrate the use of live video as an input device. Intel Video Tug of War was a multi-player video-input game in which each team player "pulled" on a virtual rope. A host machine determined the force of a team's pull by calculating a composite of team members' exertion (based upon video-input motion from each player's video camera). Like the real-life tug of war game, the team with the most pull would win.
Intel® Cool URL Recommender	The Intel Cool URL Recommender was an exploratory technology that enabled users to recommend and obtain cool web site URLs within an Internet community. It was an agent technology that filtered community-based information. Its key features included: easy to use and understand, no server required, user-configurable resource limits, and an informal, social exchange of interesting Web sites.
Intel® Selection Recognition Agent	The Intel Selection Recognition Agent was an experimental software application that dynamically generated hyperlinks between information on the desktop and relevant applications to worldwide web sites. When text was copied to the clipboard, the Intel Selection Recognition Agent attempted to recognize objects such as email addresses, URLs or keywords in the text. As a result, an icon on the desktop changed to indicate the type of object that was recognized. A right mouse-click on the icon displayed a menu of possible operations. Users could launch a browser with a specified URL, look up a definition of a word, send email, or find information about a geographic location. Its benefits included allowing the user to find information related to the feature list being viewed, automatically launching associated applications from a feature list, and enabling the user to transfer information between applications listed in the product
