---------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE -------------------

Have you ever wanted to have 3D TV?

Have ever wanted to jazz up your corporate presentation by having your
3D
charts and graph float in air in real 3D?

Are you developing products for the virtual reality market and looking for
alternatives to the HMD to let a whole room full of people take part?

Are you doing 3D CAD or architectural work and would like develop and show
your clients projects in real 3D?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then read on because your
solution may have just arrived!!!

Shebute' is proud to announce that it is representing and using a new
technology from Vrex corp that is the best 3D display technique we have ever
encountered. The key advantages of this technology are:

1. It has no annoying flicking glasses wired in to a control box. The
image is
rock steady and can be viewed by many people from any place in the room
without being wired up to a box.

2. It does not use color filtered glasses so it can display in full brilliant
color. The technique is based on a new patented polarizing process and
is
viewed using inexpensive glasses.

3. It is not a big complex box of smoke and mirrors. The device looks much
like an ordinary portable video projector. The image may be viewed on a
plain white wall or screen and projected to any size.

4. The projecter is capable of displaying in many different formats, NTSC,
VGA,
field sequential video and computer video. This means with the same
projector you can watch a standard video tape, a 3D video tape, your
computer 2D VGA output or 3D images created on your computer.

5. This technology offers an interesting alternative to head mounted displays
in that many people can view it at the same time and since there is no
physical contact, questions about hygiene are minimal. Granted, it does
not
quite emulate the same effect as a fully immersed HMD. However, because of
the large viewing area the effect is like an open picture window to an
alternate reality.
