Chameleon Power Files Patent for ImageMapper Software
ImageMapper technology
allows users to upload an image of their actual home project to participating
manufacturers’ Web sites and preview a variety of products
(Novi,
Mich. – XX, 2006) – Chameleon Power has filed for a patent with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its ImageMapper software tool, which
allows users to virtually preview a variety of design and decor options will
look like within their home. The ImageMapper technology was launched in October, 2005 and is available on several client Web
sites and portals including GAF Materials (www.gaf.com),
Crossville Tile (www.crossvilleinc.com), FlooringVision (www.flooringvision.com), FloorBiz (www.floorbiz.com)
and many others.
Chameleon Power is the leading provider of
visualization technologies to the home building and decorating industries. It
provides photographic visualization solutions to dozens of manufacturers,
builders, dealers, distributors, designers, roofers and portals. Its sister
brands, such as BuilderVision and RemodelVision,
are the leading Web based visualizers and selection
centers for home owners, builders and remodelers.
To use, designers or homeowners download
the ImageMapper software from any of the
participating Web sites, map a photograph or drawing of their project and
upload the image to the appropriate Web site. In just a few minutes, users
map the image by tracing an outline of a floor or another part of a room and
click the mouse on different product options to instantly see what they would
look like in that room. Once the images are mapped and loaded, the user
can decorate their project online with real products, save, print, enlarge and
collaborate.
“This is a tremendous breakthrough for
web-based visualization technology”, said Dan Dempsey, CEO of Chameleon. “This tool is the first and only solution
that allows the homeowner, designer, contractor, and supplier to collaborate
within the website environment, and during the website experience. We performed an exhaustive patent search over
the last year before we filed this broad-based application.”
ImageMapper can be downloaded at many
Chameleon client sites and portals and has been shipping since 2005. A professional version for the designer that
includes many graphics tools and CAD interfaces will be shipping mid-2007. For more information, visit www.imagemapper.com or call (248)
