Online, June 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Irvine, California, June 7, 2010 - Luristic Corporation, a software company specialized in Rich User Experience (RUE), announced today the availability of LureDoc - a fully featured e-book or document player for web publication of brochures, catalogues, white papers, reports, articles, manuals, books, slide presentations, and photo albums.
Dr. David Saad - founder and CEO of Luristic, points out that while conventional printed material still fulfill a particular need, they carry heavy costs and unfavorable limitations. On the other hand, digital material have longer life cycle and can be searched, referenced, shared, and diffused. The ROI for digital assets is therefore substantially higher than its printed counterpart.
LureDoc is part of the integrated suite of open standard Rich Interactive Components (RIC) called Lure. It manipulates documents like a media player plays audio or video files. Users can browse a document with four types of cool animations that mimic the experience of a reader of printed material. The animation includes flipping (soft and hard covers), sliding, panning, and scrolling. The content can be text, hypertext, pictures, illustrations, audio, and video. Users can browse through one document or a library of documents.
In the next release, users will be able to navigate through a document using thumbnails, bookmarks, links, tree, or table of content. Users will be able to create notes, annotate, and highlight text for collaboration purposes. Zooming, searching, previewing, printing, and downloading in different format including PDF will also be available in the next release along with social features such as referring, reviewing, rating, tagging, embedding, bookmarking, and favorite.
The current version of LureDoc is based on Adobe Flex / Flash, and a Microsoft Silverlight version is planned but not yet developed. A Software Development Kit (SDK) will be offered to web developers to allow them to customize LureDoc to match their own website. Furthermore, users will be able to personalize LureDoc using Settings.
