Browse the Web in a new way, iPhone/iPod touch version available.

Overview

Note: Envision is no longer under development, and it is no longer available for sale.

Envision lets you experience the Web's increasingly visual nature in innovative new ways, presenting images from Web sites outside the confining windows of your Web browser. Instead of clicking through Web images manually, Envision helps you experience the "sights" of the Web through a number of new views:

Slide-show like, in a window, without text clutter
Full screen, with the Mac as a "digital picture frame" around the images
In "thumbnail" view, as a broad overview of the site
In multiple windows at the same time
As an automatically updating desktop picture
Through the Mac's built-in screen saver, with pan and zoom capabilities.

Envision also gives you easy access to the Web content underlying any images that pique your interest, lets you automatically search for images through Google, and includes a number of pre-built "Web shows" for amazing sites like Astronomy Picture of the Day and Web Museum.

Envision moves Web images so far outside your Web browser that they no longer even need to stay on your Mac. Through Envision Everywhere, you can view Envision's Web images on devices like your flat-panel TV, digital media center or picture frame, and even your iPod photo.
