Virtual Impressions Introduction

It's 6:15 A.M. and you just sat down at the desk of your 45th floor executive office suite with a fresh cup of coffee.

Let's see, Jimmy Buffet's "Come Monday" would be nice on the CD [click]. Ahhh...that's nice.

Now to work, so let's check that Email. Over to the monitor [click...select Eudora Settings PSI]. Check Email. 36 new messages! Ouch.




Hmmm...seems like Deb needs that FAX with the drawing fast. Over to the drawing board [click - select SuperPaint]. Finish the last touches on the drawing. Now over to the FAX machine [click]. Dial 555-1111. Fax sent. Now to check that voice mail. Over to the phone [click]. Hey...only one voice mail message. Amazing. Time to check the market and sports.

Over to the monitor again, this time let's get Netscape up and running [click - select Netscape]. Wow...Red Wings pull out another one...and the market's set for a rally. Things are looking darn good.

Now let's just take a look at the presentation we put together for tomorrow. Into the Boardroom [click]. Over to the podium [click]. Wow...that will really knock 'em over.

It's 6:45 A.M. and you lean back in your chair sipping that warm cup of Columbian brew. You gaze out at a fire red sun rise and a city just waking up. [click] A whisper of warm breeze stirs a melodic chorus from the wind chimes out on your balcony.


Life is good.


Sound too good to be true? Not at all! With Virtual Impressions you link your regularly used Applications, Documents, Folders, Pictures, Sounds, Web Sites, and Other Layers to life like (or abstract!) pictures which portray the office of your dreams. With all of its rooms, drawers, and private hidden storage areas. Viola...paradise found. Everything in its place and just a click away. If you can point a mouse, drag out a rectangle, and choose an application/document/picture/sound from a dialog box...then you can build your dream office in a matter of minutes. Or that multimedia presentation for the next meeting. It doesn't get much easier than this.

Imagine a world of Virtual Impressions. Where a word processor looks like a Mont Blanc pen set on your mahogany desk. Where all of your graphics programs lie beneath your drawing table. Where all of your favorite Web Search locations reside within an image of a phone book. Where password protected desk drawers reveal files and networked servers holding your most often used confidential documents and folders. Where doors open into other rooms full of other applications, Web sites, and presentations which explode with instant connections to the Internet.

And, at the end of the day, where a simple click on the picture on your desktop gives you a slide show of that last vacation in the Islands...complete with the sound of the waves lapping along the shore.


Anything you can imagine just a click away.

Well...make that virtually anything. We're still workin' on those steamy scents streaming from that warm cup of coffee.
