REALVIZ' Online-Solutions Business Unit Announces a New Solution For Web-Based Virtual Tours

               Demonstration Site EASYPANORAMA.COM Launches At
         Real Estate Connect, San Francisco, July 22-24th, Booth 122

    SAN FRANCISCO, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- REALVIZ' Online-Solutions Business
Unit(1), specializing in automated solutions for on-line immersive imaging,
has chosen the Real Estate Connect trade show to announce the launch of
easypanorama.com which has been created to develop a network of OEM and ASP
partnerships.  Easypanorama.com will demonstrate to potential partners such as
Real Estate, Tourism and Photo Laboratory portals, REALVIZ' proprietary
technology enabling the creation of 360-degree panoramas on-line using
automated photo 'stitching,' color blending and cropping procedures.
    REALVIZ plans to commercialize this cutting-edge immersive imaging
technology through either OEM partnerships or via an ASP business model
(with a customized version of the on-line interface for each customer) and
will start by focusing its efforts in on-line real estate.  This solution will
enable partners to offer a new on-line service that will translate into a
significant competitive advantage and an additional source of revenue.
    The main advantage of this solution is its ease-of-use, which allows
amateurs or experienced photographic professionals to create mono-strip or
multi-strip panoramas in any volume, extending up to 360 degrees using either
a standard or digital camera.  Panoramas can then be exported in three
different options: to the Internet, downloaded to a Pocket PC virtual tour or
in plane mode for printed posters.
    REALVIZ also supplies a Flash animated tutorial and a rich media training
CD-ROM, which demonstrates the simple workflow characteristic of this solution
and presents users with helpful hints for creating stunning panoramas.
    "Easypanorama is fast, inexpensive and requires no investment other than a
camera and an Internet connection, allowing anyone to create high-quality
immersive imagery on their own," says Jean-Philippe Menetret, Director,
REALVIZ Online-Solutions Business Unit.  "We have conducted several market
studies in virtual tour production in the US and Europe that have shown a
shift from full to self-service solutions.  This confirms that our solution
comes to market at the perfect time," he added.
