ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Local technology and media company Immersion Digital conceived the idea of a media rich interactive Bible that would allow the world to share in the passion that CEO Nelson Saba had for the Bible and the Biblical world. He wanted everyone to be able to experience the Bible in a totally unique way using immersive media and technology. The result: the award-winning, media-rich interactive Glo Bible.

Armed with the creative concepts and vast amounts of information and photos, he sought out a strategic relationship with a software development firm that could turn the award winning PC product into the multi-platform global product that he envisioned. He conducted a global search and found the solution in his own "backyard". The Intego Group based in Central Florida, was the company that would make his exciting application dream come true.

Intego Group, a software development outsourcing company, assembled a team of highly skilled software developers in the Ukraine and worked daily with the Immersion Digital team to translate the application concepts and materials into the award winning immersive application that emerged. This "Bible for the digital world" features Bible text in multiple translations linked to more than 500 full-360 degrees panoramas of holy sites, 7500 encyclopedia articles, 2400 photos, 700 pieces of art, 3.5 hours of HD video and more. In total the Glo Premium product has over 3,800 media elements related to the Bible. Intego Group was able to transport the PC version of Glo into a highly marketable product on Mac, iPad and iPhone in just 6 months. Ongoing software application work conducted by the Intego team provided Immersion Digital with their multi-device, cloud-syncing Glo Bible app on Mac, PC, iPhone and iPad. Glo Lite is a free download that showcases the Glo Bible with over 180 media elements that include videos, photos, artwork, maps and virtual tours, with an upgrade available to Glo Premium.

Today, Glo is the award winning multi-platform product that Mr. Saba envisioned.  USA Today called Glo Bible "the coolest app for the Fall" in 2011, the Washington Times selected Glo as the "Software of the Year" and AppAdvice.com said, "The most extraordinary iPad book app of the past year isn't The Civil War Today, Ultimate Sharks or even The Monster at the End of The Book. No, while each of these titles are great, nothing compares to the Bible+ app released earlier this year by Immersion Digital."

Glo Bible is now in global distribution, and as Mr. Saba and Immersion Digital discovered sometimes there is "no place like home" for any technology challenge that you might face.
