HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL, BOOTH 10404/10415 – VOXX Electronics Corp (VEC), a
newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corp.
(NASDAQ: VOXX), today announced the Company's entrée into the high
tech panoramic video camera market. Through a partnership
with EyeSee360 the company will deliver a line of proprietary
panoramic video cameras and software to a market that virtually
includes everyone…from the extreme sports enthusiast to parents
shooting their children's birthday party.
Named "360Fly" and "360MicroFly", these two products are
compact, lightweight, 360 degree HD lifestyle products that
will enable both consumers and professionals to capture and share
personal experiences in a never before seen narrative. The
360Fly is mountable on a variety of different sports equipment from
helmets to surfboards to a tiny tripod for the center of a
table. The "360MicroFly" is the world's first 360 single
optic lens attachment for Apple and select Android phones.
"We believe that the 360Fly and 360MicroFly will change the way
consumers view video forever making their footage more compelling,
engaging, and immersive than ever before" said Tom Malone, President, VOXX Electronics Corp.
"Entree into this high profile, high energy market will set the
tone for the future of VOXX Electronics as an innovative market
leader bringing advanced technology and solutions to both the end
consumer and enterprise customer."
With unique perspectives and user-controlled points of interest,
content generation becomes fun, interactive and seamless from
capture to share. 360Fly provides consumers with a new way to
document experiences that current industry standard cameras simply
can't capture. Mount it, wear it, or simply place it and experience
the future of video documentation.
"We have been looking for a partner that shares our vision and
is a leader in the consumer electronics industry – VOXX is that
partner," said Tim O'Neil, CEO of
EyeSee360. "We believe this technology will change the way people
expect to interact with video whether peer–to-peer or from
broadcasters. This is an exciting step in the evolution of
video"
Both cameras focus on capturing and sharing life's moments
allowing recipients to enjoy a unique personal and meaningful
experience. The "Fly's" field of view captures more than 4 times
that of traditional cameras, with intuitive design and application
interface; end users enjoy a seamlessly engaging experience. Ideal
for on the go use, the 360Fly can fit in your pocket and be
submerged in water up to 5 atmospheres.
360MicroFly is a smartphone lens attachment that puts a spin on
traditional video offering users the ability to simultaneously
record everything around them. 360MicroFly attaches to select
smartphones to capture videos that are not only panoramic; they're
also interactive, creating engaging scenes, allowing viewers to
control what they want to view. …And they are driven by an easy to
use social network software app.
User generated content can be shot, edited and shared using the
360Fly iOS and Android app. Users can also share to YouTube,
Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels in standard video
playback form.
The 360Fly and 360Microfly brands are marketed exclusively by
VOXX Electronics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX
International Corporation., (NASDAQ: VOXX).
