Zapvista brings an entirely new kind of functionality to the Internet
by building three-dimensional interactive spaces viewable by anyone with a computer. We provide clients with sophisticated but user-friendly Web page components through which users can “move” inside virtual reality environments that exactly simulate real places. The interactive metaphor is like that of a video game, in which users feel they become physically immersed in the space displayed on the screen.

Zapvista makes this possible by employing cutting-edge technology: digital image capture and editing, 3D modeling, and a Java delivery system that turns any computer into a Virtual Reality device. Any real-world environment can be meticulously re-created in its entirety by the Zapvista staff, providing clients with a complete end-to-end solution that can be seamlessly integrated into a Web page in a matter of minutes.

The era of the two-dimensional Web is over. “Surfing the Net” is just skimming the surface. It is no longer enough to be “on the Internet” — take the plunge and put your users in the Internet!
