In 1978, Far-More Computing was started with 3 Radio Shack Color
Computers doing matrix to vector conversions. This bore fruit in the
rvf format (rasterized vector). There were also database and office
applicastions which resulted in the first mail merge program. In1980,
the need for a larger mail merge Program, guided me to Montreal where I
developed a hard disk drive for this computer. I then became VP
of R&D for the company During the 3 years at Micro RGS, we produced
1 relevant device a week When I had the resource I needed I left to
persue. I wrote this, then.
To See ones future, pass him by,
as in a trance possessed.
Left him high like eagles fly,
his mind the stars carressed
No compass chart or grid.
...He strode into oblivion,
With but the light inside him.
I then returned to Calgary where I ran 3
computers for 2 years and then moved on the Comodor Amiga. The prime
focus was visual recognition systems. We had 320x200 working on the
Co-Co as it was affectionatly called. Rasterized Vector systems have
become the main stay for many recognition systems. Currently Far-More
is working on vector recognition systems contained in move and
tv material. We want to add rvf (rasterized vectors) to the divx format
for computer controlled surgeries. This search has given me this huge
library of .avi files. This system just proves the idea works. We'll
get better. Yup....were teaching computers how to understand what it
see's.
Our full history spans libraries. We now hold credit for over 30,000
products. Some were even good. We'll leave history to the historians.
What we need to know is how we can help YOU. Lets make history.
