How do I add a YouTube Video into my 3D web place? Three Simple Steps:

Step One: Once you have the ExitReality browser open at your 3D webspace, this could be your website, MySpace page or any other social networking page, click on the search tab on the top right hand side of your screen in the ExitReality toolbar.

Step Two: Enter the keywords ‘youtube TV’ into the search box. The customisable TV will appear in the search results. Simply drag it into your 3D space.

Melbourne, Australia, 7th November 2008, Following the worldwide media coverage since its public beta launch on the 18th September 2008, ExitReality has now announced a partnership with blinkx (www.blinkx.com), the world’s largest and most advanced video search engine. With blinkx attracting millions of monthly unique visitors to its website, ExitReality now has the potential to reach as many as one million users in the upcoming months.

The partnership between ExitReality and blinkx means web users are now able to visit blinkx and search its large database of video content in 3D. Viewing in 3D allows friends to watch videos together, share opinions and meet other like-minded individuals with similar interests. Furthermore, web users can add blinkx 3D objects such as video walls, flat panel TVs and a video bed to their own 3D websites, again enhancing their shared social experiences. “Visitors to some virtual worlds actually pay for the opportunity to watch videos together with their friends. blinkx is now offering the same virtual, social experience for free,” said Danny Stefanic, founder and CEO of ExitReality. “blinkx is pleased to be a pioneering presence within ExitReality,” said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx. “We’re excited to be taking advantage of ExitReality’s technology and eager to develop innovations that will augment the Web as a 3D space.”

“Together, blinkx and ExitReality have created a world where users are able to search and view over 26 million hours of content in a 3D environment. Users will also now be able to decorate their own virtual environments on popular social network sites such as Facebook and MySpace, creating and sharing their own 3D virtual worlds,” said Danny. Unlike other 3D programs such as Google Lively, ExitReality supports all online video content and is the only 3D platform to support Adobe’s Interactive Flash and Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. Only seven short weeks ago, ExitReality came out of private beta to launch its revolutionary technology to the world. The launch was a resounding success, with worldwide coverage in print, broadcast and online media. Coverage included the influential US media website Drudge Report, Telegraph UK, Yahoo, Google and Fox News. “As with anything in beta, there are obviously still some kinks in the program we need to iron out and our team has been hard at work since launch working through these. All feedback has been carefully scrutinised and taken on board for improvements,” said Danny.

ExitReality adds a new dimension to the online experience integrating 2D multimedia and social networking with 3D online. “Users are looking for creative and inexpensive ways to connect with friends and family, and as the technology progresses, consumers and businesses will adopt more and more ways to integrate existing products, services, and social networks into the 3D sphere,” added Danny.

Having a 3D apartment as your Facebook, Myspace, or Bebo profile is a fun and innovative new way to express yourself online. Your own virtual world!

Decorate your 3D apartment or any web page in 3D by dragging and dropping objects you find from the Web 3D Search located in the ExitReality Dashboard. There are many different objects and themes that you can find to ‘drop’ into your space.

In order to customize your 3D web space, it is important to know how to edit a 3D object that you have selected from the Search Engine.

When we say ‘edit’, we refer to the simple tasks of moving, rotating, cloning and resizing a 3D object to suit your 3D webspace. Please view the video on how to decorate your own space using the tools within the edit bar.

To claim your 3D space and avatar, you will need to Download ExitReality.

Login to your social network profile page , Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, etc, and click on the ExitReality button inside your Internet Explorer or Firefox browser. This button was inserted during the download process. Clicking on this button will convert any 2D web page into a 3D webspace.

Finding 3D content is easy once you are in 3D. The Web 3D Search function is displayed inside the ExitReality Dashboard at the top of your screen.

The Search Engine is similar to other Engines on the 2D web. The results displayed can be dragged in to your 3D space. Then decorate and enhance your space the way you want it to look.

Navigating the entire 3D web is simple and easy. Why not explore the ExitReality Plaza, your 3D website or the countless virtual worlds searchable at ExitReality.

When you first enter a 3D webspace, you will see your avatar in front of you. Move your avatar across the 3D space by holding down the Right Mouse Button, then point the cursor in the direction that you would like your avatar to travel in.

Additionally, you can also navigate using the arrow keys on your keyboard or the arrow icons that appear on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The scroll wheel on the mouse enables your avatar to look up or down.

You can move quickly from one location to another by simply Double Right Clicking on either an object or a building that you would like to move towards.

The case for advertising online is already a compelling one. And an increasing number of companies don’t need convincing — The Internet ad market last year grew 26%, surpassing both radio and cable TV, to reach $21.2 billion, according to the annual online ad spending report from IAB and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

This week MTV showed combining their television show The Hills with an online 3D virtual world and a website, meaning users were far more engaged. Not only that, but their watchers who also visited the website and the virtual world had much more positive things to say about The Hills major sponsor Pepsi, according to the report. (See Adweek article ). Until now promotion across several platforms with digital media was suspected to work, but never proved.

Because ExitReality enables instant representation of every single social network page as an inhabitable 3D environment, when it launches soon ExitReality will instantly be the world’s largest 3D virtual world with more than 300 million 3D places. For advertisers, this represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to promote their brands through the birth of a new medium.

Once launched, advertisers, publishers and users will be able to build, manage and freely participate in the growth of this medium. Pre-launch, we are offering select partners the opportunity to gain early access to our technology and the ability to deeply integrate within the platform itself.

ExitReality not only offers cross-platform promotion opportunities, but easy access to 3D advertising — Virtual goods have been built by ExitReality that support web ad feeds such as standard banner ad formats. These ad objects can be used by users to decorate their 3D page. A partner can have full control over which ads are displayed on these goods for visitors of their site’s domain. These ads are clickable just like normal web banner ads, so partners can make money through normal web advertising services.

From there the opportunities are endless: we are currently creating branded avatars, objects, decorations, buildings and places for our pre-launch partners.
With ‘giveaways’, businesses can spread their brand message. It’s all set up for viral distribution. A user takes a cool 3D object from a business space, puts it in their own 3D space then their friends and other visitors can take the object for their own page, and because ExitReality extends over all social networks, the object has the potential to appear everywhere. These objects can engage the user in many interactive ways, and can also link to a 2D webpage or 3D destination. The image right shows how giveaways work:

Examples

• A musician in MySpace Music has a live performance space to interact with fans and organize virtual concerts, show music videos on a virtual television and give away songs in a 3D widget.
• A car company on Facebook has a 3D racetrack and give away a 3D car that users can make their color of choice then drive around in 3D. The car has a link back to the company’s website.
• A fashion designer with a 3D catwalk can host their own fashion shows and give away avatars wearing virtual versions of their own designs.
• A film or TV company’s 3D space is a cinema showing short films, trailers or television shows. They give away virtual popcorn to their moviegoers or a 3D plasma flat-screen television showing their latest offerings.
