Electronic Entertainment Expo, LOS ANGELES, California, May 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
    - Media and Trade get first taste of Augmented Reality and Gyroscopic
Camera Technology on the Gizmondo at Leading Industry Event
    Gizmondo Europe Ltd subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger
Telematics Inc (OTC: TGTL ; OTC: TGTL.PK) today unveils the very latest
gaming features, Augmented Reality and Gyroscopic Camera technology, on its
4500 feet-square stand at the E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) event in Los
Angeles, California.
    The incredible Gyroscopic Camera Technology uses movement detected
through the digital camera at the rear of the device as a direct analogue
control input for games. This unique and versatile feature has enormous
potential within all genres of games, from first-person shooters to flight
simulations, and is currently being optimised for a number of exclusive
titles by Gizmondo Studios.
    Augmented Reality also uses the digital camera, but in a radically
different way. By viewing specially designed graphics and symbols through the
camera mode, a three-dimensional and animated character or object can be
introduce to the 'real world' environment with stunning effect.
    Both these new technologies will be featured in a groundbreaking new
GPS-enabled adventure game called Agaju, and will be demonstrated behind
closed doors at this leading industry event.
    Carl Freer, Co-founder and Chairman, Tiger Telematics, added: "Until now
we have concentrated on communicating the six core functions of the Gizmondo,
namely; games, movies, music, messaging, a digital camera, and GPS. Our
agenda for this industry focal event is to demonstrate to media and trade how
the Gizmondo becomes greater than the sum of its parts when we begin to
combine these functions and integrate them into entertainment content that is
exclusive to this new handheld format."
