MARINA
DEL REY, Calif., Jul 5, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
3Dshopping.com
Teams Up with Yahoo! to Offer Yahoo! Shopping Merchants and Consumers
Enhanced Display and Viewing of Products
3Dshopping.com
(AMEX:THD), creators of the 3Dshopping System(TM), today announced that
it has signed an agreement with Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO).
Under
the agreement, Yahoo!(R) Shopping (http://shopping.yahoo.com), one of
the Web's most popular commerce destinations will license technology
from 3Dshopping.com, enabling merchants to display detailed, realistic
images of products and providing consumers with a greater visual
depiction of items to make more informed decisions when shopping online.
3Dshopping.com's
technology is expected to be available on Yahoo! Shopping later this
year.
Commenting
on the announcement, Terry Gourley, chief executive officer of
3Dshopping.com, stated, "The effort 3Dshopping.com has put forth to
establish the viability, quality, speed and consistency of its core
technology is validated by this relationship with Yahoo!."
"We
currently offer our merchants an excellent package of services, but the
ability to add 3Dshopping.com's display technology is a significant
differentiator," stated Michael Landau, general merchandise manager
of Yahoo! Shopping. "With the use of 3D rotation and virtual
motion, we are able to offer our merchants a more realistic presentation
of their products and selling features."
About
3Dshopping.com
The
3Dshopping System(TM) content is created through digital photography and
proprietary programming techniques that, together, produce a fluid
full-range rotational view of selected products. Unlike existing
technologies, the 3Dshopping System(TM) does not require special
software or plug-ins, making the online shopping experience truly
hassle-free and fast (see www.3dshopping.com).
A
combination of marketing solutions and technology, the 3Dshopping
System(TM) bridges the gap between the traditional "see, touch and
feel" offline shopping experience and the "static" online
shopping experience.
