Bing, deliver on Cooliris' mission to be the best way for consumers to
discover, share and interact with media on the web regardless of their
choice of browser, operating system, or mobile device.
Support for Bing Image Search
-- Currently Bing users are faced with one-dimensional searches that lack
the rich, highly intuitive, user interfaces they're accustomed to
experiencing.
-- With Cooliris support for Bing, users will now be able to view their
searches in 3-D and scroll across content effortlessly in a more user
intuitive context than ever before, allowing them to not only view
content, but interact with it as well.
-- Graphics and photos within a Bing search are also enhanced to provide
unparalleled, high-quality image viewing, unlike traditional image
search. Support for Video Search is coming soon.
Enhancements to IE and Windows
-- Unlike traditional point and click options on IE and Windows, Cooliris
provides users with a more intuitive and efficient way to browse
media.
-- Cooliris has always been committed to providing a consistent cross-OS
experience for users. Cooliris has been available on Windows since
inception, and the plug-in became available on Internet Explorer with
the introduction of plug-in support in IE7.
-- As proof of their dedication and continued investment in Microsoft's
browser and platforms, Cooliris' new enhancements to Internet Explorer
and Windows users will immediately impact users. Performance has
improved up to 30 percent for basic image browsing in IE.
-- The improved browsing performance will enable a faster and visually
superior way to search, locate, and share images and media.
