THE MEDIAVERSE and CINEMA INSOMIA present a Multi-user Avatar 3D Webspace for fans of the cult TV show to "Hang-out".
What do you get when you combine independent late night Horror/Sci-Fi TV with the 3D virtual worlds on the web? Whatever it is, it's scary, new and happening on Saturday, May 23, 2009 from 10 PM -12 AM PST at the deceptively ordinary "simple url" of http://www.cube3.com/cipodz.html, RSVP for this event at http://www.mediaverse.ning.com/. The first 20 or so get in , the rest can watch.;)
THE MEDIAVERSE and CINEMA INSOMNIA will be presenting the first of many virtual world web fan gatherings and special screenings of the nationally syndicated midnight movie TV show. This first event featuring new episodes and DVD's will be shown in the "SCREAMING ROOM." A custom-designed 3D screening room created by Cube3 as part of their forming Mediaverse Network.
A virtual world network for fandom, THE MEDIAVERSE is mixing traditional web and TV media with the community elements of "hanging out" and the e-commerce abilities of virtual worlds and virtual goods. Built upon many web technologies and also in standalone virtual worlds like SECOND LIFE (The SKY CINEMA at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sawrey/252/134/753), THE MEDIAVERSE, CINEMA INSOMNIA and it’s host MR. LOBO (a comic book convention and film festival show regular guest) are reaching out to offer fans a 24/7 immersive experience that one day might rival the "super-crowded" yearly conventions like COMIC-CON or WONDERCON and the weekly Sci-Fi/Comic shows that take place in neighborhoods around the globe. While most virtual worlds online have been either targeting corporate usage or children via games, these planned events are targeting the type of grown up audiences that are defined by the summer blockbuster movies and the XBOX.
"Virtual worlds online are great meeting places and clubhouses for the "like-interested" and fans personify that market " comments CUBE3, THE MEDIAVERSE creator. "Virtual worlds are not a mass broadcast media yet, but to couple them with a TV show and use them to build a community of fans makes a lot of sense and has been the type work we've been doing for over 10 years online. CINEMA INSOMNIA has an amazing cult following and MR. LOBO's shows are a perfect genre match to a virtual community building product like the MEDIAPODZ. The stuff is entertaining as social video to watch, and live MR. LOBO is one funny host."
Presiding "live" as an avatar, the series horror host and cult icon MR. LOBO will be on hand to show a sneak preview of his latest DVD of the CINEMA INSOMNIA episode featuring the "WASP WOMAN " and talk with attendee fans about its creation, horror trivia, or answer any questions on their late night minds. In web2.0 tradition Mr. Lobo will "hang-out" with fans shilling any and all of the horror products he sells and even giving some away as prizes.
Mr. Lobo says " Wow, this is great! This very well might be the next giant step for horror hosts —Radio had "The Man in Black", Comics had the "Cryptkeeper", early live TV had Vampira, National TV had Rod Serling, Syndication powered "Elvira" to the top, Cable ushered in "Mystery Science Theater", and now me and this stuff! -- But why cant I see my feet?"
Other virtual worlds soon launching at THE MEDIAVERSE are a Worlds Fair-like CLASSIC SCI-FI POSTER WORLD to host more general Sci-Fi events online.
The technology that offers the CINEMA INSOMNIA SCREAMING ROOM and MEDIAPODZ a no plug-in, multi browser-platform capability is "3DXPLORER " created by CUBE3 partner ALTADYN. This web 3D platform is one of the firsts to offer true real time 3D with multi-user avatars on both MACS and PC's. It also work’s in almost any web browser due to its use of a Java based technology that can offer a true mass audience reach for any client using the MEDIAPODZ on the Internet. Easy to set up and host, the MEDIAPODZ and the CUBE3 OFFICEPODZ can integrate with an existing traditional client website and with the use of web based standards, and can also be linked to more complex virtual world platforms like SECOND LIFE if required.
The basic MEDIAPODZ and OFFICEPODZ Modules with client customizations and set up can be licensed starting at around $10,000 USD a year. More advanced "Meeting Packages" are available with features like invitations, record keeping and shared screen control for presentations.
