Its products are based on an augmented learning model that was originally developed using cognitive science and information processing research at Caltech and Stanford University.
Powered by Loqu8's iNtution engine, the software promises to help users learn information quickly; a pop-up window is displayed in a fraction of a second (typically, 100 milliseconds).
When a learner browses the web or reads a document, the act of pointing with a mouse or touching a screen commands a pop-up window to provide supplemental information.
In 2010, the company previewed Insight (code named "Prelude"), an instant information access tool for cloud-based business applications like Microsoft SharePoint, Salesforce.com CRM and Google Docs.
Loqu8 iCE (iNterpret Chinese-English)[5] displays a pop-up window to show Chinese to English translations and links to supplemental materials (news, images, video, chat).
