VizSeek The Image Based Search Engine

VizSeek is currently focused in helping users in the industrial sector visually find the right products and services. Finding the right industrial products and services requires three important criteria prior to making a decision, namely Form, Fit and Function. VizSeek is the leading provider of shape-based search technology. The company’s mission is to allow the world’s visual information to be found using shapes, diagrams and drawings. VizSeek is one of the first search engines on the Internet to use a photograph, a 2D image, or a 3D model and transform it into a 3D shape. The search can be narrowed with additional information.

VizSeek, an online 3D search technology, uses shape as an input, so that a graphical object of similar shape can be retrieved. It also can go one step further by doing a secondary search. VizSeek, a shape search engine that allows people to search using drawings and diagrams, announced the appointment of Brian P. Phillips to the position of chief executive officer. VizSeek’s revolutionary shape search engine easily overcomes the challenges faced by text based search engines in dealing with variations in specifications of manufactured parts and products globally.

VizSeek is one of the first search engines on the Internet to use a photograph, a 2D image, or a 3-D model and transform it into a 3-D shape to match the part you’re searching for. You can help narrow the search with additional information. For example, tell VizSeek it’s a part for a motor and it will sort search results based on what it found from thousands of motors, bolts, hinges and belts cataloged in the system. Whether you need a bolt, a motor, a belt or a tool, finding the perfect, hard-to-describe part can be like finding a needle in a haystack. But now, engineers have put together a computer program that can track down just about anything you need.
