[vslist] Free trial version of perceptually-based web browser

[Ruth Rosenholtz]

The Palo Alto Research Center is pleased to announce the release of Popout 
Prism, an experimental Web browser based on principles from human vision 
research into visual attention.  Popout Prism currently runs on Microsoft 
Windows platforms, and is available under a free 90 day trial license 
at:  http://www.alphaave.com/details.php?tech=Popout%20Prism

Popout Prism makes critical information "pop out" from Web pages and allows 
navigation through a Web page via an enhanced thumbnail overview.  When 
users enter keywords, Popout Prism enhances the display of those keywords 
throughout the current Web page as well as in a thumbnail overview of the 
entire document.  The enhancements are designed to attract the user's 
attention and smoothly guide the user in navigating the page.

We would be delighted to receive feedback on this software from the human 
vision community.
