Reverse Engineering the 100% AJAX Vuzit Document Viewer

I have nothing against this company but 4 of the 6 comments on this story are by accounts created minutes ago and the other two are by accounts who don't have comments on any other story.

The story itself is not really clear on what the value of this thing is.

Hi ajju,

I wrote the blog post, posted to HN, and then sent out a tweet to my friends which might explain some of the new users. I recognize a couple of the commenters, and FWIW they are entrepreneurs that have technology companies. Here is the tweet: http://twitter.com/chriscera/status/1527260033

The purpose of the article is to point out that the core of the Vuzit viewer is our reliance on web services. Another topic is that anyone could write their own viewer using our web services. The last point is that we only used our published APIs to build our Viewer and our website. My understanding is that nobody else in the marketplace has designed such a technology, and is offering it as a commercial service.

I would love to hear more comments on our Technology and Company. Do you care that it's made from AJAX vs Java vs Flash? Do you care that it's based on Web Services? Would you use it for your website, product, or service?

Any help from the HN community is greatly appreciated! Best, -Chris
