Arqball Brings Spins to Everyone
SANTA CLARA, CA and CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, Apr 18, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Arqball's new platform Arqball Spin lets anyone create and share
interactive visualizations of 3-D objects called "spins" using an
iPhone or iPad in less than one minute. Arqball Spin eliminates the
need for expensive equipment and expertise in computer graphics,
making technology accessible that was previously affordable only by
movie studios and global brands.
Why Bring Spins to Everyone?
This is a game changer for a wide
variety of applications. "The ability to easily digitize, edit, and
now annotate physical 3-D objects will revolutionize remote product
visualization," said Jason Lawrence, Co-Founder and CEO of Arqball.
"We see a wealth of opportunities in online commerce, architecture,
industrial design, arts and crafts, interactive education materials,
and many others."
Arqball made several major announcements at the DEMO Spring 2012
Conference this week in Santa Clara, CA:
-- iPad - a new native version of the Arqball Spin application
specifically optimized for the popular tablet
-- Embedding - spins can now be embedded in websites and popular blogging
platforms like Wordpress and Tumblr
-- Labeling - add labels to your spins, which allows highlighting and
annotating specific features on a 3-D object, ideally suited for
ecommerce, museums, and education
-- Kickstarter for Spins - a campaign on the popular crowd-funding
platform to raise money to support the design and manufacture of the
rotation stages used to create spins
"The convergence of camera, computer, and network in mobile computing
devices has created new and exciting opportunities for interactive
3-D media," explained Co-Founder Abhi Shelat. "We founded Arqball to
create tools that will put this potential in as many hands as
possible."
