Technology, Research, and Development

The GIC’s research and development efforts will include a new type of visual language user interface, search engine, browser, and desktop management functions. Through the use of artificial intelligence applications and simple human attention to user needs, the GIC can offer a user experience that will be highly appreciated by both novice and experienced users. The GIC will emphasize the use of proven technology and applications to support an early commercial launch parallel to its own proprietary research and development efforts.

Partly based on a proprietary typology and research database, and partly based on unique statistical algorithms, The Global Interchange includes a unique system comparing actual user behavior including search engine activities, product interests, and other online actions with professed behavior based on statistical, survey-based indicators. This creates a set of sophisticated tools for predicting behavior and for developing and tracking strategic positioning and communications campaigns. The typology and analytical systems are equally applicable to internal management, employee assessment, customer profiling, and other marketing applications.

Examples of GIC technology include:

• a unique search engine with value-based typologies and artificial intelligence
• a user-customizable desktop and browser interface • pioneering uses and markets for voice over the Internet
• a professional information expert for the general public
• software application services for personal and commercial use
• a web interface
• an e-mail and instant messaging service for individuals and organization
• an audio and video conferencing center • Internet telephony
• …and much more
