Kaidan Announced as Founding Technology Partner of New Virtual Reality Directory - FULLSCREENQTVR.COM

 

FEASTERVILLE, Pa., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaidan Incorporated, a leading
provider of Photographic VR solutions for the Internet, is pleased to announce
their support of a new virtual reality website, http://www.fullscreenqtvr.com, which
launched last week. This QuickTime(R) VR (QTVR) website will serve as a
directory of high-quality, full-screen QTVRs on the Internet. QuickTime(R) VR
is an award-winning photorealistic cross-platform virtual reality technology
from Apple Computer, Inc., that makes it possible to explore places as if you
were really there. Locations are numerous and varied, including amazing
interior views of the Vatican, inaccessible Egyptian tombs, detailed interior
and exterior views of the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and the latest
breathtaking panoramic images from NASA's Mars rovers. Kaidan has offered
their support in the effort to launch this month.
Hans Nyberg of panoramas.dk and Marco Trezzini of VRMAG, after working on
the idea of a website directory of full-screen QTVRs for many months, launched
the first stage of the website with links to hundreds of full-screen
panoramas. With the prior strong success of panoramas.dk's "Full Screen
Panorama of the Week", the popularity and appeal of full screen QTVR panoramas
was amply demonstrated. Other founding technology partners include Canon,
Fuji, Kodak, REALVIZ, and ZOOMIFY.
Marco Trezzini, founder of VRWAY and editorial director of VRMAG, notes,
"Kaidan, with their President, Jim Anders, are well-known and long-term
players in the VR industry. An energetic and creative network of strategic and
technological alliances allows them to keep innovating the market with state-
of-the-art solutions for the entry-level photographers, as well as for the
high-end market. We welcome Jim and Kaidan as a founding technology partner
for FULLSCREENQTVR.COM, having provided over the years equipment to so many of
us. I still have my first panoramic tripod head, bought when my team took
their first steps in the panoramic industry. It was a KiWi +, bought from
Kaidan, ages ago, back in 1998 and I eagerly look forward to their next
generation of panoramic tripod heads."
Jim Anders of Kaidan adds, "We're very excited and honored to be a part of
FULLSCREENQTVR.COM. Marco and Hans have done a fantastic job over the years
with QTVR technology and their latest effort is just stunning. This year will
see exciting and major new product releases from Kaidan that will bring this
kind of full-screen imagery within the budget and capabilities of everyone.
Now, whenever anyone asks me what QTVR or interactive imaging is all about, I
can simply point them to FULLSCREENQTVR.COM."
Trezzini continues, "Our mission is to break down physical, geographic and
cultural barriers by providing visual knowledge of the beauty of the world
around us. It's a tall order but once you've stood on top of Mount Everest,
planted your feet on the soil of Mars, marveled at the beauty of the Vatican
Basilica, and been a part of the raucous New Year's Eve celebrations in Times
Square, you'll understand what we are striving to achieve."
