IAL is making whole-house computing a reality. We're exploring new applications for the home and family, such as speech recognition and synthesis, to simplify your life. This means pushing the performance edge of hardware and software by propelling easy-to-use technology into the future.

Industry Standards Bodies

IAL is committed to industry standards bodies that are defining the future of computing. These standards bodies have paved the way for a number of computing advances in PC architecture, communications, and applications.

One such standards body includes the Digital Imaging Group (DIG). IAL is an active member of this broad-based, non-profit consortium composed of leaders in the photography and computing industries. The DIG is working to build the future of imaging by spearheading a world-class, standards-based component platform built upon two of today's existing technologies -- FlashPix* imaging architecture and Internet Imaging Protocol.
