What is Omture?Often we find ourselves using the same websites over and over for information like weather, definitions, web search, maps or phone number of our favorite pizza shop. Currently, we open a new browser tab, visit the destination website, enter the parameter and then get the information. These repetitive steps waste time & puts physical strain, on top of these steps we have to scan through banner ads and unrelated information to find the relevant information.
Omture enables you to quickly find information on the web, without leaving your current website, and provides a clean design with only relevant information. ![]() ![]() |

About With the abundance of information available on the Web, more and more people are using the Web to perform various activities in their daily lives. They are reading news, using online calendars, planning & booking vacations, shopping, researching health information, watching movies, looking up maps, and creating new social lives. However, to complete these activities users have to repeat the same process of opening multiple browser windows or tabs, using external tools like paper and pencil, and using their short term memory while comparing information. This process takes the user longer to complete each task. It also adds both physical load, as the user needs to click many times between windows, and cognitive load, as the user is using their short-term memory for longer periods in order to remember and compare information. Omture is an attempt to help your browse faster, reduce both the physical and cognitive load while using the web. |
