NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwire - July 2, 2010) - The SupaSwap Corporation is underway with the development of the 3D (3 dimensional) concept where its members can be immersed in a shared virtual 3D world with a first person perspective. Each member will be able to navigate with 20 degrees of freedom and each sees the other members as fully modeled 3D characters (avatars). As a member speaks his or her voice emanates from the corresponding avatar to each of the other members. The avatar's lips and facial structure synchronize with the words spoken and the sound of the voice is distance attenuated and spatialized in stereo according to its position in the 3D world relative to the local user.
Simply put this development will make supaswap.com the first Virtual 3D Online Shopping Community. Members when logging in will be able to choose the virtual auction room they wish to visit where all the listed items are on view like a store and become involved in a 3D auction with bidders, traders and sellers being represented by their own personal avatars. The auction rooms will be designed to match the different item categories. There will also be virtual swap meets taking place within 3 dimensional exotic locations and a virtual 3D shopping mall where members can be represented by their personal avatars and visit individual stores to perhaps spend their trading profits on new items.
This 3D experience is by no means an easy upgrade to put into place and operate. Very sophisticated and cutting edge programs are being developed and tested so the time line envisaged for introducing this unique and exciting concept will be some 12 -14 months.
With the emergence of 3D cinema and DVDs and now dedicated 3D televisions hitting the stores this is another example of SupaSwap's timely and innovative approach to expanding beyond that of a young person's auction site. This type of enhancement is but one of a whole technological flow of upgrades to the companies website that will pull in not only more registrants and members but will get them trading on the site and using the many and varied affiliate programs to purchase items all of which means increased revenues and profits to the Company.
