The HoME™ Application Creation Platform is a flexible client-server architecture that enables product development teams to create custom pointer-based applications suitable for TV. HoME incorporates a flexible mechanism to display the myriad of applications and services on TV. It presents content in a compelling format using Visual Directories™. Visual Directories can display large volumes of content, enable consistent presentation of content from any source, and make it easy to navigate content using a pointer. Reference applications developed for HoME include Photos, Music, and Videos,- known as HoMEmedia. Hillcrest Labs has also developed games, TV, DVR and on-demand broadband content applications.

The Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) method is designed to ameliorate problems with intuitive intelligence analysis that arise from human psychology. ACH₀ is an experimental program intended to aid intelligence analysis by providing a table-oriented workspace for performing the ACH method.

ACH₀ is now available free for non-commercial use.  Download it here.

UpLib is a universal personal digital library system. The system consists of a full-text indexed repository accessed through an active agent via a Web interface. It is "universal" in the sense that documents are canonically represented as projections into the text and image domains, and uses a predominantly visual user interface based on page images. UpLib can thus handle any document format which can be rendered as pages.

Uplib is now Open Source under a GPL license!  Get it here.

Instant Bookplex is composed of three software tools that facilitate in-depth reading. A first tool extracts citation information from documents. A second finds on-line documents from their citations. The last is a document corpus browser that uses a zoomable user interface to show a corpus at multiple granularities while supporting reading tasks that take days, weeks, or longer.

Niagara is an informal zoomable organization tool for making sense of your thoughts for notes, presentations, or other documents. It is informal in the sense that it doesn't restrict you to lines, columns, or page boundaries. You can type and move objects where ever you want. It is "zoomable" in that you can interactively zoom out to see more objects at once. In most other programs, when you zoom out, the text gets small and unreadable. Niagara tries to keep the text readable as you zoom out using a technique we call Automatic Text Reduction.

CounterPoint is a zooming presentation tool that acts as a plugin to PowerPoint. It allows you to hierarchically arrange your PowerPoint slides on a large zooming canvas. CounterPoint also provides the capability to create multiple scripted paths through your spatial slide arrangements. Presentations created in CounterPoint are also interactive, so you can deviate from a scripted path at presentation-time based on audience feedback, time constraints, or other factors.
