Invision. The Future of Internet TV
Invision.TV (Internet + Television) brings together the open and interactive power of the Internet and the simplicity and engaging power of TV. The Web-based application finds, indexes and organizes millions of videos from a wide variety of video sites across the Internet seamlessly integrating video search & discovery, social networking, and personalization features into a patent-pending application that simplifies the navigation and browsing of video and allows users to find content based on their own personal interests.
Invision.TV Guide
Discover what's playing on video sites across the Web.
Invision.TV's first-of-its-kind guide brings together content from the growing number of Internet video sites across the Web and presents it in an easy-to-use, visual, TV-like user interface that enables a video search and discovery experience unlike any other video Web site today. The consumer experience is designed to take the known behaviors that work from TV, and extend and enhance them on the Internet. Users can find and watch a wide range of video from broadcast, cable, broadband and user-generated channels in a similar way in which they would browse or "channel surf" for their favorite programs on TV.
Invision.TV Video Search Engine
Search for video across the Internet, all in one place.
Users can search for videos across a wide selection of Internet video sites using Invision.TV's comprehensive video search engine. Invision.TV's advanced video crawlers continuously index the top video sites on the Internet to provide users with the most recent and relevant Web videos. Users can type in their search terms, and Invision.TV's proprietary algorithms will filter through our comprehensive index of videos to find and present the video choices that match their search criteria.
