Insight®, a software system developed by Luna Imaging, is a digital media storage, management, and delivery system designed for research and teaching. Insight makes it easy and exciting to work with digital image files and also supports audio, video, and virtual reality.

Insight at Emory currently hosts the digital images collection of the Art History Visual Resources Library, and also provides access to over 200,000 digital images in more than a dozen digital image collections at other institutions. With Personal Insight, it is possible to store, catalog, and access personal collections of digital images.
