UICard was conceived, designed and developed entirely in Australia. The visibility and recognition that this award brings will help us as we build the UICard business in Australia, and take it to the global market. Touching the panel over the icons on the card sends the corresponding command to the set-top box. With one touch a web site can be reached and displayed on the TV set. Applications are unlimited.
Cards are convenient links, or portals, to the on-line world with integrated payment facilities.
For home users, UICard offers simple access to Internet services. For businesses it offers a new way of marketing and providing access to services. For ISPs and TV channel operators it offers a powerful service differentiator. We are keen to discuss deployment of UICard with major network operators, ISPs, and content providers. Industrial design for the remote control was done by KWA, a leading Australian design company.
