What is "qarbon"

Qarbon (formerly JET Software) is a software company headquartered in San Jose, CA (United States). Founded in 1997, they invented the concept of a Viewlet, which is now often referred to as a screencast. Using a scenario capture approach, a series of compressed screenshots and cursor positions, Qarbon’s technology enabled simulated playback of any software application. By allowing users to edit these scenarios, they could be augmented to create interactive Viewlets; the output of the process. The very first Viewlet output format was a Java applet, but as technology advanced, the decision was made to switch to an .swf (also known as Adobe Flash) format for better cross-platform support.
