Overview
WetPC P/L is a privately owned company, based in Canberra, specialising in the research and development of its Kord® Interface Technology for use in underwater and mobile applications.

Background 
WetPC P/Lhas a world-wide exclusive licence from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) to commercialise the Kord® Interface Technology which includes a highly innovative and unique chordic graphical user interface (CGUI) - originally developed for the the WetPC® underwater computer. The CGUI has a wide range of potential applications such as: handheld devices (e.g. mobile / cell phones, palm computers, PDAs), wearable computers, handicapped, games, defence (e.g. soldier combat systems), telematics, Asian character input devices, and remote controllers.


Products 
WetPC P/L produces a range of products including hand controllers (e.g. Kord® Pad, Kord® Grip, Kord® Board), Kord® Software (e.g. Kord® Software Development Kit), and documentation (e.g. Kord® Standards; experimental data and algorithms). WetPC P/L also provides a range of services to assist users including: development of customised Kord® Software applications and concept demonstrator interfaces; provision of training courses and technical advice; and the design of CGUIs.

WetPC P/L seeks to generate products which can be incorporated by other companies in either existing or new technologies for mobile computing and communications applications world-wide. As such, it seeks to be a provider of enabling technologies which will give other companies a strong competitive edge in the global marketplace.


Business Interactions 
WetPC P/L has developed strong links with a number of Australian companies which design and manufacture high technology products for use in underwater and mobile applications. Recently, WetPC P/L signed a sub-licence with another Australian company Nautronix Ltd (based in Fremantle, Western Australia) which has been given the rights to commercialise Kord® IT for all underwater applications. Currently, Nautronix Ltd and WetPC P/L are working together to produce underwater computers for defence and research markets.

WetPC P/L has successfully completed projects for the following clients: the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army, Australian Special Forces, Nautronix Ltd, Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), and the Royal Netherlands Army.

WetPC P/L is actively seeking industry partners who are interested in either licensing its technologies for use in their products or establishing some form of business collaboration.
