Press Release from VR Toolbox FINAL COPY FOR RELEASE FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE - VR TOOLBOX, INC.
ANNOUNCES UPGRADE TO VERSION 2.0 OF "THE VR WORX." The VR Worx is VR Toolbox's award-winning suite of authoring tools for QuickTime VR™, and the new version, 2.0, is now available for both Macintosh™ and Windows™ platforms. The VR Worx 2.0, which recently had its debut at Macworld Expo in New York, has more features and greater functionality than any other QTVR™ authoring tool on the market. MacUser Magazine in the UK named The VR Worx 1.0 runner up for "Best Multimedia Software for 1999." This version is sure to get even greater accolades in the year to come. It creates panoramic movies, object movies and multi-node scenes (a.k.a. virtual tours), all in the QuickTime™ format. Walter Neals, Vice President for Marketing at VR Toolbox noted, "We want our users to be assured that each time we come out with a new product or update, we will offer an upgrade that is generous and affordable. We have a great respect for our users and want everyone to stay current with the latest in QuickTime VR technology. Just as we did when we introduced The VR Worx 1.0, we have designed an upgrade path for everyone, even if they only own one copy of VR SceneWorx." The VR Worx 2.0 has an abundance of new features. One of the more impressive is the ability to generate an Object Movie that has the Object within a Panoramic background, called Object in Pano. And answering a strongly voiced desire on the part of users, version 2.0 is scriptable via AppleScript™ on the MacOS™ and Visual Basic™ scripts on Windows™. The VR Worx extends its extensive versatility and unparalleled functionality in the realm of Multi-node Scenes, by adding eleven Transitions, including Cross Fade, Wipe, Zoom, Radial and Iris. Those who like to work with large images will be pleased with the ability to Import and Export panoramic images at sizes up to 10,000 x 3,000 pixels. The list goes on with a substantial amount of refinement to an already robust program, as well. The VR Worx 2.0 Upgrade can be purchased by contacting sales@vrtoolbox.com or by calling 1-877-878-6657 toll free. QuickTime VR has become one of the most important assets the user can have in their software arsenal, bringing an unparalleled level of interactivity and motion to web design and multimedia productions. As in all the VR Toolbox products, The VR Worx 2.0 allows the user to create interactive QuickTime VR movies quickly, simply and professionally, with any kind of camera...film, digital and video. And two-platform companies can take real advantage of The VR Worx 2.0 being cross platform, since projects started on Windows can be completed on the Mac OS™ and vice versa. The VR Worx v2.0 comes on a hybrid CD-ROM, which includes a 260 page printed manual, complete with various tutorials, as well as an addendum that covers the new features in 2.0. Apple's QuickTime™ 4.0 and Adobe Acrobat Reader™ 4.0 are included on the CD-ROM. The VR Worx has a manufacturer's suggested list price of $299.99.
