Interactive PioneersIn 1978 David Rosenblatt had been working for General Telephone Company of Florida for 9 years as a television producer. Much of that video production was focused on providing effective training in the many different areas that GTE was involved in . |

| There was always the problem of trying to produce training and information products that matched the level and knowledge of the viewers. The producer had to make an educated guess as to the level and pacing of production as television didn't give the viewer a chance to go slower or faster.
David knew there had to be a better way. After a lot of experimentation he developed a prototype interactive video tape system that could provide the user (not viewer) with control over the level and speed of learning. In 1978 David developed one of the first interactive video tape systems using an AppleII computer and a 3/4 inch video tape player. He also developed an authoring program and the hardware board to fit the computer. From 1984 to 1990, David directed interactive video R&D teams in a series of prototyping efforts resulting in a number of unique interactive video applications and custom developed authoring systems for GTE Data Services. In January of 1991, David Rosenblatt left GTE Data Services to establish Silver Image Interactive, Inc. a communications firm committed to the development of interactive video and multi-media products. |
