TopLayer Inc., formerly Blaze-Net, asked <B>the new studio</B> to join its design team to develop the user interface for its innovative "AppSwitch 2000" product, which manages data traffic on a network based on the applications creating the traffic. The interface for the AppSwitch allows customers to use a highly graphical approach to create, extend, and manage complex networks, all based on Web browser and Java technologies.
<P>
TopLayer's product was voted "Best of Show" when it debuted at the Networld/InterOp Spring 1999 conference.</FONT><BR><BR></TD>

<B>the new studio</B> evaluated the user interfaces for two software packages that Kodak was developing for the management and manipulation of digital photographic images.
<P>
These Windows- and Macintosh-based programs required testing of multiple users and analysis in terms of usability, functionality, and overall acceptability. Over a dozen users were tested for each program. The subsequent analyses were based on the programs' appeal and consistency in user interface. Kodak used the recommendations to guide the revisions to the software.</FONT><BR><BR></TD>
