EveryScape Seeks Community's Vote for 'The People's World Project' to Build the 3D Web

The People's Vote to Determine the Next 5 Cities and 15 Towns to be

'Scaped' in 2007

    WALTHAM, Mass., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- EveryScape, Inc. wants to hear
 the people's voice. It is seeking votes for "The People's World Project" to
 build the 3D Web. By enlisting the contributions of consumers around the
 world, EveryScape is creating the first interactive eye-level experience
 that offers Web users a completely immersive, 3D world online. By the end
 of 2007, EveryScape plans to launch 10 metropolitan areas, five of which
 will be determined by the community's vote. In addition, EveryScape will
 build 15 additional towns, which will also be determined by the people. You
 can cast your vote at www.everyscape.com. Voting opens today and closes
 August 31. The winning communities will be announced in early September.
     To help fulfill its vision of building out the world in 3D, EveryScape
 is also looking for local "Scape Artists" to join the movement.
 EveryScape's highly scalable approach enables almost anyone to capture the
 photos needed to build any geographic location - with minimal training.
 These images are captured using standard digital single-lens reflex (SLR)
 cameras, and are then uploaded to EveryScape for processing. Scape Artists
 have the opportunity to share the places, things and experiences that are
 part of their communities, which when combined with the work of fellow
 Scape Artists, contribute to the building of the People's World.
     "We don't presume that we can build the world on our own. The people
 have to build the 'People's World,' just like it was the people who
 originally built the Web as we know it today," said Jim Schoonmaker, CEO of
 EveryScape. "EveryScape's job is to create the canvas; the people will add
 color and context. That's what this initiative is all about. We want to
 hear from the people about what they want to see - and then give them the
 tools to help us bring it to life."
     EveryScape is bridging the gap between the physical world and the
 virtual one by allowing people to search, find and experience every aspect
 of a city or town in 3D. For example, while "walking" down a street users
 can window shop storefronts as well as tour the inside of those stores, see
 their offerings, and access published reviews and other information. Last
 month, EveryScape delivered a sneak peek of Union Square in San Francisco
 at www.everyscape.com. The full city of San Francisco will launch this
 fall, with Boston, Chicago, New York and Seattle to follow by the end of
 2007, along with the five additional metropolitan areas and 15 towns, which
 will be determined by the community's vote.
