ReelTime's Latest VR Series Slated for Amazon Prime Video's 50 Million Plus Subscribers and 171 Million Active VR Users Worldwide Utilizes ReelTime's Proprietary and Patented Technologies
Seattle, WA, Oct. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- -- ReelTime VR/ReelTime Media (OTC:RLTR) announced that its new Virtual Reality series is being produced utilizing its state of the art Virtual Reality production capabilities and its proprietary "Ubiquiview" technologies.
The series which showcases unique resort properties is slated to debut on Amazon Prime Video and is expected to be able to be seen by its more than 50 million US/UK Amazon Prime Video Viewers. The series will also be available to the 171 million active VR users worldwide, distributed over numerous VR delivery portals including Gear VR, Oculus, Veer VR, HTC Vive, PS4, YouTube 360, Facebook, and others.
Earlier this year, marking another pioneering achievement by ReelTime VR and another landmark first for Amazon Prime Video, ReelTime VR’s VR travel series "In Front of View" starring international superstar Front Montgomery and her daughter Leonie Montgomery became the first and only content provider in the world to have shot a live-action series in full 360 Virtual Reality that had been adapted to, and able to be seen as a series on Amazon Prime Video.
ReelTime’s VR capabilities, which were showcased in Inc. Magazines' March 24th issue, solves the monetization problem of high production cost in relationship to the size of the potential audience that has thwarted VR content creation. Using ReelTime process and Ubiquiview technology, content can be shot in VR yet made available to major networks and other flat content portals as well. By expanding the number of potential viewers from only those with a VR headset to nearly all widely used formats, traditional monetization via product placement, embedded advertising, pre- and post-roll sponsorships, etc. become possible.
Barry Henthorn, CEO, stated: "The industry has come a long way since green screen and CGI were introduced. ReelTime’s new filming and environment creating technologies open up so many possibilities that simply did not exist only a few years ago."
