PR Newswire (US)
LAS VEGAS, June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TMM, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
TMMI.PK) announced that it has entered into a joint venture with
Geosmack Enterprises Inc. of Vancouver, BC Canada. Geosmack
provides 3D virtual solutions for businesses wishing to geo-target
new audiences that surf on Google Earth. Geosmack produces
'EarthSkins,' bundles of media content that lay on top of Google
Earth's surface. Surfers can begin experiencing this technology by
visiting the host site http://www.geolistings.com/ and check out
the 3D model of the FIFA WCS in Cologne, the virtual pages of
Munich businesses and video clip intros of 6 different World Cup
cities. As part of the joint venture agreement, TMM has received
exclusive rights to market city- themed "EarthSkins" worldwide.
With the announcement of today's joint venture with Geosmack Inc.,
TMM is bringing together a team of content and technology providers
that will allow viewers to see much more than just the World Cup.
TMM President, Mike Fernandez, stated, "We are very excited about
using the new 'EarthSkins' to showcase our web tour of Germany. It
will provide people a behind the scenes look at the activities
surrounding the games and a look at the nearby restaurants, hotels,
shops and pubs. Many people now use Google Earth as a first choice
to check out possible destinations. Increasingly, businesses will
want their presence in Google Earth. We look forward to taking this
exciting new technology to targeted businesses who want to improve
their image inside Google Earth. TMM is positioning itself to
capitalize on this growing market." Geosmack President, George
Koochin concurred stating "We are excited to be working with TMM on
this new content delivery platform. We are at the beginning of a
revolution in Geo-browsing and virtual travel as we expand the
number of "skins" placed upon Google Earth. Allowing viewers to see
clearly below the 500 meter level in Google Earth could be the next
most important frontier in the Internet. We look forward to being
pioneers of that new frontier." TMM will use the new EarthSkins to
generate revenues through local, regional and International
advertisers. Businesses can add video clips, image stills and 3D
modeling content to their virtual businesses. Existing advertiser's
media can be easily repackaged into the Google Earth interface. TMM
has been in the video compression business since 1992 and its
technology has been used by the makers of leading CD Rom games. The
company is now entering the business of high resolution still and
video 2-D and 3-D media content for online audiences interested in
exploring the planet below 500 meters using Geosmack software.
