Preface Media to Release 360 Degree Shopping Experience for Mobile Device
360/3D spin product photography provides shoppers with an one-of-a-kind shopping experience from any smart phone.

DALLAS, Texas (PRWEB)- September 28, 2010.
Preface Media is due to announce the most functional 360° product spin display for mobile applications this week. This innovative service will enable companies a new way to showcase their products. Any user with an iPhone, smart phone or other mobile device will be able to view items at a full 360°.

With more than 94 percent of the United States currently owning cell phones, the mobile shopping market is expanding at record pace. Preface Media is offering companies a way to get ahead of the curve by offering 360° photography for product display.

The feature will allow users to zoom up to 400 percent, pan, and rotate a full 360°. These features have never before been offered for mobile devices. Preface Media offers custom iPhone app and Smartphone application design and development to get these features to the customer.

Preface Media is an industry leader in 360° photography. Their fully equipped studio and professional staff provide a quick turnaround and beautiful shots that cost far less than traditional photography. Services can either be offered at the Preface Media at a very competitive price.

Traditional single photography lacks realism and interactivity.  360° photography makes products come alive. Each 360° presentation contains between 12 and 72 shots of the product from every angle. It can easily include additional sets of 12-72 shots at 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° or 90° elevations. The mobile viewer provides true 3D experience for products with intricate detail. Images from all angles seamlessly combine for smooth animation, rotation, panning and zoom with intuitive controls. The result is like holding the product in your hands, allowing for complete inspection before a confident purchase.

For skeptics of such advanced technology, take a look around. A simple walk down a city street will easily demonstrate what we already know: mobile phones are everywhere. Customers have the ability to shop from anywhere- be it on a subway, in a restaurant, or in the comfort of their own homes.

Sennheiser and Umarex Select MediaSpin360 to Enhance Online Product Presentation
MediaSpin360, a Preface Media subsidiary is proud to provide 360-degree product photography to showcase selected products for Sennheiser and Umarex.

DALLAS, Texas (PRWEB) – June 10, 2010 – "Every angle, every detail" is needed to showcase products online. Both Sennheiser Electronic Corporation and Umarex USA understand the value of providing their customers the most detailed information possible on their products. Now both have over a dozen products featured by MediaSpin360′s 3D showcases and many more are in the works.

"It has been a pleasure to work with Preface Media on the development of our Virtual3D imagery for our website, UmarexUSA.com.", says Nichol Goines at Umarex USA, "The team at Preface Media was very flexible and understanding of our needs, timing, and budget structure from beginning to end. In fact, we’ve already identified additional products that we wish to add to our Virtual3D offering."

MediaSpin360 uses its parent company’s online rich media platform to showcase each one of the products using a Flash viewer that is compatible with virtually all desktop browsers. Implementation of 360-degree product demos was fairly simple for Sennheiser and Umarex. They were provided with a few lines of code to place wherever they wish the demo to appear on their website. In mere 5 minutes the demos were online. The 360-degree product viewer allows the users to freely zoom up to 400%, pan, print and rotate the virtual product providing an unforgettable experience. The 360-degree demo products on Umarex’s web site can also be viewed at both 0 degrees and at 45 degrees elevations. This gives the customers even more viewing angles and product details at their finger tips.

Product photography is very important for any online presence. Sennheiser used to have only a few images on their site for each product but after the 360 degrees product demo was implemented their customers can now zoom and spin the product discovering every inch of it.

The combination of the professional photography studio of MediaSpin360 and the rich online application platform of Preface Media showcases an online product as if the customer is holding it and inspecting it at the store. This rich media solution offers extended customization for all the client’s needs. Preface Media offers custom branded skins, hotspots, mapped zoom, offline and soon a 360-degree viewer for mobile phones. Based on web site analytics, users stay three times longer on a Virtual3D showcase web page compared to traditional product photography one. Although 360-degree product photography presentation is still in its infancy, cutting edge retailers are already planning to have some sort of spin photography implemented by the end of this year. It is a vastly superior solution compared to traditional flat photography since all the high resolution 360-degree images are produced by a professional photo studio such as MediaSpin360. The studio is equipped with the most advanced precision rotating robotic camera and lighting equipment to take all the products to the next level of online presentation.

Shopping Online Has Never Felt So Real With 360-Degree Product Photography
Preface Media, the leader in online rich media applications, announces launch of MediaSpin360, the new subsidiary offering professional 360-degree product photography for manufacturers and online retailers.

DALLAS, Texas (PRWEB) – January 19, 2010 –
Preface Media announces launch of MediaSpin360 (MediaSpin360.com) to deliver professional and cost-effective 3D product photography solution for the retail and wholesale markets. 360-degree product photography service enables online retailers to showcase their products in new and exciting ways. Online customers can spin, zoom, pan, rotate and analyze every square inch of the product as if they were at the physical store. Going one step further and combining 3D with an online product configurator lets customers personally customize a product and view it from all angles and at all levels of detail. These features attract store traffic, increase buying confidence, and reduce merchandise returns.

Product photography has always been an expensive service, afforded only by companies who had bigger budgets. Typically companies could only justify photographing a few shots of the newest and best-selling products. MediaSpin360 aims to bring professional 3D photography at the prices comparable to or lower than the cost of traditional photography.

MediaSpin360′s state-of-the-art robotic equipment controls 3D photo shoots with electronic precision resulting in seamless 360-degree views. Photos of the products can be taken at any elevation angle from 0˚ to 90˚ as the product rotates around the vertical axis. The number of shots per one 360-degree revolution, known as a spin-set, typically varies between 12 and 48. MediaSpin360 photographers and creative services staff work with the customer to determine the optimal lighting and background for the photo shoot. These customizations are important since some online retailers prefer a more colorful background instead of a basic clinical white look. After all the shots are taken and processed they can be used for offline printing purposes such as product catalogs, in addition to online viewing.

"Some version of 360-degree photography is being offered by a number of companies" says Chief Solutions Architect Mike Sokoryansky "but MediaSpin360 offerings go beyond the photography services. Thanks to the imaging platform of our parent company, Preface Media, we can receive customer products, photograph them, touch up the images and process them for custom product configuration, upload the results to our high capacity image servers, and integrate the customizable 3D product viewer into existing online store within just a few days. The viewer offers full branding, customization, dynamic image zoom, pan, spin, hotspot, and external hyperlinking. And since it’s implemented in Adobe Flash it is universally compatible with all web browsers."

360-degree photography is rapidly gaining acceptance among Internet retailers and acclaim among their customers. In a recent survey, 95% of all retailers who have added 3D photography stated that their online sales have increased as the result. 28% of all online store owners have or are leaning towards implementing 3D product views. Today’s tough economy demands that successful retailers go above and beyond their competitors in attracting customers. While it may seem tempting to trim down the marketing budget, visionary marketers are taking advantage of this new technology to build customer base and increase sales. 3D photography rates start as low as $88 for a product spin-set. Call us at 469.342.6767 or visit us at www.MediaSpin360.com for demos.
