3D Vizion: Proudly Pinoy Company Aims to Change Country’s Advertising Landscape

Filipinos have always been at the forefront of innovation. As it is in more developed countries that a life that can dedicate itself to the pursuit of knowledge for its sake can create such great invention, it is at the other end of the spectrum—a dire need to focus on day-to-day matters which the Philippines has found itself. Strangely enough, the difficulties that have plagued the country for so many years have made innovation a real survival act. 

Following this tradition of Filipinos stumbling towards modernization in the process of seeking a better way of doing things, a budding company named 3D Vizion has come up with a ground-breaking technology that takes the best of high-definition 2D technology and the latest in 3D technology to come up with a platform that is set to change the way companies in the Philippines advertise—glasses-free 3D screens.

The company was founded on the premise of providing the best for Filipinos—by Filipinos.

3D Vizion uses proprietary technology to provide companies with a revolutionary platform that they can use not just to catch attention, but ultimately, to generate sales. Because of this, the company has been getting a lot of attention from other organizations who want to get the word out of their offerings; likewise 3D Vizion’s technology is slowly being recognized as the new standard platform for a more cost-efficient yet undeniably effective mass marketing.

A step up from the usual 3D screens we see inside movie houses, this new and more sophisticated technology bridges most of the gaps left by previous iterations by providing viewers with improved 3D projection coupled with high-definition 2D images, more spots for viewing and of course, the ability to watch without the use of bothersome red and blue glasses that can cause headaches among other discomforts.

But the bottom line is this: in the battle for the attention of the consumer who is now media savvy and inundated by so much information, rising above the clutter is an act of survival. 3DVizion is proud to be the company that will aid the industry to keep growing and working towards better ways of engaging with the mass market.

###

Founded by Katrina Bantug, Mohan Kulkarni and backed by DEMIKK Holdings, Inc.- represented by Ruben Tiu,3D Vizion is a budding Filipino company whose goal is to revolutionize the country’s advertising landscape and put us at par with other nations using glasses-free 3D screens as its main platform. For more information about the company, its products and services, you may contact Susana Eslava at 695-1111 or 706- 7999 or visit their website at www.3dvscreens.com.

Norton Online Family Expands to Keep Kids Safe on Mobile Phones

Norton by Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC) released today Norton Safety Minder: Mobile Edition, a free app that allows parents to keep an eye on their kids’ smartphone activities.  The application is used as part of Norton Online Family, the award-winning online family safety service for PCs and Macs.  Through the new app, parents can avail themselves of several tools to teach kids safe and age-appropriate digital habits on their mobile devices.

The application provides web monitoring and blocking features for free, allowing parents to see what sites their kids are visiting and block content they feel is inappropriate.  Applied through their Norton Online Family account, parents can use the same set of web filtering settings for the child’s PC and apply them to the child’s Android phone.  The service tracks up to seven days of content for free.

To get started, parents download the app on their child’s Android phone, login to their Norton Online Family account (or create one from within the application) and can then centrally manage the “House Rules” on that device through the onlinefamily.norton.com website.  More than a dozen phones can be easily added to the same account at no charge, with unique settings for each, allowing parents a single point to manage varied settings for kids of different ages.   

“Parents know they need to be involved in their kids’ digital lives, and most actually set and discuss house rules for computer use and Internet browsing” said Effendy Ibrahim, Norton Internet Safety Advocate and Director, Asia, Symantec.  “But to make those rules work, you need to extend them to your child’s mobile phone where so much web browsing takes place.  With Norton Safety Minder: Mobile Edition, parents can help their kids stick to those rules, regardless of which device they are on.”

Pricing and Availability

Norton Safety Minder: Mobile Edition is available for free in the Android Market at market.android.com, and can be downloaded in English, Japanese, German and Polish.  Android version 2.2 or 2.3 is required on the device. 

Parents must have a Norton Online Family account in order to activate the application, which they must first install on their child’s device.  A free, basic Norton Online Family account will activate the mobile web-filtering and monitoring within Norton Safety Minder for Android.  A paid subscription to Norton Online Family Premier, currently only available in the US, will unlock the application’s additional advanced features, such as SMS text monitoring. 

To use Norton Online Family Premier on a Mac® (Mac OS® X 10.5 or later) or PC (Windows® 7, Windows XP Home or Professional, SP2 or later; Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Windows Vista® 32-bit or 64-bit, SP1 or later) parents simply sign up and create a family account at https://onlinefamily.norton.com.

SIPA - An All-Filipino iOS and Android App

I remember my childhood days where we play street games like patintero, taguan, tumbang preso and sipa. But kids nowadays play games via PSP, Xbox, and various tablets. Seems like the old times are slowly forgotten.. Worry no more -- a group of Pinoy developers came up with a genuine all-Filipino game application that will let kids of today remember yesterday.

Presenting SIPA: Street Hacky Sack. 

This development comes at a time when smartphone and tablet users are growing. Although one will find apps that has a touch of Filipino, I have yet to discover a true-blue Filipino app game in the iOS and Android marketplace. Sipa is the country’s national game, also known as Sepak Takraw. But the more popular version that children play uses a metal washer to kick instead of a ball. The flat disc-shaped metal with a hole in the middle is decorated with straws. The goal is to kick it several times without touching the ground to get the highest score and win.

Unlock different Philippine landmarks..

Team Butchukoy, the group behind the digital version of Sipa are obviously sentimental but nationalistic at the same time. Aside from promoting the game and giving everyone a glimpse of how much fun their childhood was playing Sipa, they also wanted to promote the beauty of the Philippines. When playing the game, one will notice famous landmarks in the country as the background. It’s like the Philippines is the character’s playground. The Rizal Park can be seen on the first level. As the game progresses and the next level is unlocked, a new place is introduced. For now, Quiapo, Mt. Pulag and UP Diliman are also featured in the game. With the wordwide reach of iTunes and Android devices, the goal of promoting the Filipino culture and the Philippines is within reach.

SIPA is available for download on iTunes and Android for only $0.99.
