:: Another Look :: RichFX ::

Formerly known as WebGlide, RichFX is a company offering a small program the user has to install in order to take a 3D virtual tour through e-commerce sites. Real Networks is one of the investors.

RichFX is an easy case to talk about. I can summarize it in three words: VDOnet class Plug-in.

VDOnet is a longer story.

Somewhere in the old days this Wadi company was pioneering Video transmutation over the internet. I remember plugging this app into my Netscape (1.0, I think) and waiting over a 14.4kb connection to see a video. Though this was back in the old days, the picture was much like the one an average Internet user will get today from an average streamer - meaning - an array of random colorful pixels flickering at a slow rate. As all knew back than that Video is the killer app, Microsoft invested in the company.

Over the years the company grew bigger and bigger until it became one of the most important companies to ever come out of Israel. OK, I was kidding. Over the years the company just flickered into oblivion.

And as for RichFX?

Well, no chance they will just flicker into oblivion. My bet is that they'll glide there with some Rich Effects.
