PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwire - October 22, 2009) - Immersive Media Company (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Immersive Media Corp., www.immersivemedia.com), the world
leader in 360-degree, full-motion, interactive videos, today announced
SlopeViews Inc. as the newest member of the Immersive Media Authorized
Agent Program. Based in Breckenridge and Vail, CO, SlopeViews
(www.slopeviews.com) will use Immersive Media video technology to deliver
cutting-edge media for resort properties, tourism and live events.
"Destination resorts and the travel industry as a whole are rapidly
incorporating richer media experiences into their websites. By producing
full-motion, interactive videos of ski slopes, golf courses, hotel
properties, concerts and sports competitions, we can bring these new
marketing tools and revenue opportunities to resorts, music venues, travel
portals and entertainment companies," said James Hay, CEO of SlopeViews.
"As an authorized Immersive Media agent, we can now give our resort and
tourism industry clients a competitive edge by generating longer viewing
times and higher booking rates."
SlopeViews' founders are accomplished adventurers and action-sport athletes
with experience spanning resort operations, tourism and advanced
technology. Using the Dodeca® 2360 camera system -- Immersive Media's
flagship product and the key to creating 360-degree, full-motion video
experiences -- SlopeViews will produce interactive videos of ski resorts
and golf courses as well as live sporting events and concerts. The videos
are used as sales and marketing tools to attract new visitors, boost
reservations, showcase facilities and expand sponsorship revenue streams.
Immersive Media's patented image capture and display technology puts the
viewer in the middle of the action for streaming website videos. With a
simple click and drag of a computer mouse, each viewer can control his or
her point of view, looking sideways, up or down, or all around in
360-degrees, while also pausing or zooming in or out of the action. The
interactive features of the videos can be seen at www.slopeviews.com.
"We are extremely pleased to welcome SlopeViews as the newest member of the
Immersive Media worldwide network of Authorized Agents, and look forward to
their taking full advantage of our industry leadership, technology and
expertise," said Tom McGovern, vice president of Immersive's agent program.
"With their passion for outdoor activities and familiarity with the Rocky
Mountain region, SlopeViews is ideally suited to bring these compelling
videos to the resort and tourism industry."
