--Insight v6.0 + LUNA released on June 13, 2008

We’ve built a better browser. Introducing LUNA, the new browser for Insight collections.

The Insight Java Client revolutionized the way you worked with media via a desktop application. And now LUNA offers a second revolution: With LUNA collections are more than just page after page of thumbnails. A collection will be a framework for discovery, dynamically working with advanced features and sharing these features with the World Wide Web.

With LUNA, users can perform simple keyword searches as well as more complex structured queries, and control how they view, browse, and organize their results to create Media Groups and presentations. LUNA includes the Web 2.0 tools end users are demanding which enable them to save and share their work by linking and embedding any view, image, group, or presentation. All this and more in a browser !
