Torus Labs, Inc. is pleased to announce the BETA launch of its new website: EveryLens.com. EveryLens is a group photo hosting and sharing website designed to simplify collaborative photography. EveryLens makes it easy to create group galleries for big events like weddings and proms, and allows all the attendees to contribute photos to a common place.

This service is currently free and open to the public, so you can get started right away. In the future we will offer upgrades and enhancements for a small premium.

EveryLens is Torus Lab's first original product. We'll be adding cool new features daily, so check back often!

Lychee Software is no more! We have changed our name to Torus Labs.

After several months as "Lychee Software", we started to realize the many shortcomings of the name. According to the dictionary, Lychee, Lichi, Litchi, and Lichee are all valid English spellings of the word, which posed a problem for people trying to find our company website. There are two valid pronunciations: LIE-chi and LEE-chi, so we never knew how to pronounce the name. Many people hadn't heard of the fruit and didn't know what the name meant (so sad!), or knew about the fruit and thought we were an Asian company (not that there's anything wrong with that, but we're not). The word "Lychee" didn't relate to what we do, and the word "Software" pigeonholed us into making & selling software, which would be a problem if we were to... say... started selling pizzas ;)

So from now on, we're Torus Labs. We like the name: the spelling & pronunciation are unambiguous, "Torus" relates (albeit loosely) to our graphics expertise, and "Labs" is a word that can stay with us if we ever start doing more than just software.

Lychee Software made it to the semi-final "elevator pitch" round of PrincetonEN's Business Plan Competition. Sadly we did not advance to the finals, but it was a fun and worthwhile experience nonetheless. Congrats to the winning team: Fashion Stake.
