About Virtual Iris

Founded in December 2003 and headquartered in Los Angeles,
California , privately-held Virtual Iris enables businesses for the
first time to automate the volume production and deployment of Rich
Media, instantly transforming static digital images into dynamic,
multi -dimensional product displays that stimulate increased sales,
streamline the buying process and provide a visceral "in store"
experience online. Rally's on-demand, hosted
subscription service enables software organizations to reliably deliver
valuable software in rapid iterations by marrying Agile project management
with customer-centric requirements management, early testing and defect
tracking .

The breakthrough on the 'back end'
is that Virtual Iris provides online vendors and individual sellers
the ability to create this functionality themselves in minutes for
every product image on any site, banner, or email, without the
overhead, capacity requirements, or performance degradation associated
with existing imaging solutions. In addition, consumers can
change the colors or patterns of images such as shoes and apparel;
access text or close-up visual information about particular product
features; and assess product dimensions with the drag of a mouse --
the distance between armrests on a sofa, for example, or between front
and rear fenders of an automobile .
