With their small file size and amazing clarity, Kaon's interactive images are ideal for use on the Internet or in Microsoft PowerPoint for product display, sales, training and service applications. Because they are ultra-high resolution and geometrically precise, Kaon's 3D product models may also be used to generate an infinite number of print quality 2D images. Kaon has followed a strict strategy of pursuing compatibility with all modern operating systems and browsers without the need for a plug-in. This guarantees that virtually all Web users can enjoy Kaon images without hassles. Joshua Smith, Kaon's CTO, will discuss the technology Kaon has developed over the past six years to become the leading supplier of 3D on the Web. About the Speaker Joshua Smith has served in lead development and engineering roles with the company since its inception.
