Eyematic's Revolutionary Computer Vision Technologies Earns
          The Golden Lasso Award in Internet 3D Technology Space At
                 The Web3D RoundUP, Hosted at SIGGRAPH, 2000

    LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Web professionals voted Eyematic's
revolutionary professional and consumer communications and content creation
software "best tools and 3D technology," earning Eyematic the Golden Lasso
Award, topping over 30 other Internet offerings during the Web3D RoundUP at
this year's SIGGRAPH conference held in New Orleans.
    A multitude of competitors swarmed this year's RoundUP, including Intel,
MacroMedia, Inc., Pulse Entertainment, Discreet, and Brilliant Digital
Entertainment (B3D), but Eyematic set the standard for innovative and
applicable technology.
    With five minutes to explain their bold suite of rich media tools,
Eyematic's executive team including CEO Orang Dialemeh, CTO, Dr. Hartmut
Neven, and Dr. Ulrich Buddemeier wowed the audience with their dynamic
presentation including an eye-popping demonstration of Eyematic's markerless
motion capture applications and brilliant avatar creations.
    Integrating with Shout 3D's java-based playback and authoring
technologies, Eyematic content will play to any Java enabled browser without
the need to download a player.
    Eyematic, an innovator of interactive "rich media" authoring, playback,
communication software and supporting infrastructure solutions, introduced
their turnkey suite of rich media offerings during the SIGGRAPH 2000
convention.  Differentiated by proprietary Visual Interface Technology(TM),
Eyematic represents the next important step in the evolution of rich media for
entertainment, advertising and communications over Internet, wireless and
broadband networks.  Attendees at SIGGRAPH were able to instantly create
mirror-like 3D avatars of themselves and send personal rich media messages to
friends outside of the convention, as well as demo the very applications shown
at the Web3D RoundUP.
    Currently, Eyematic has the most accurate computer vision based facial
recognition / sensing technology.  To date, no other firm in the world has
demonstrated computer vision technologies that allow character animation and
model based encoding of humans by professionals and consumers.  These
techniques enable encoding that allows delivery of compelling rich media
content over bandwidths as low as 28.8kbaud while enabling unprecedented
higher fidelity and interactivity over broadband.
    Eyematic's significant breakthroughs in computer vision rewrite the
process by which interactive rich media is created, encoded, delivered, and
consumed.  Eyematic's computer vision techniques add unprecedented levels of
natural interactivity that can be used by both professionals and consumers for
authoring, publishing and communication.
