Introducing 360desktop and looking to showcase photographer content

Hi Everyone,

A quick note to (re)introduce 360desktop, which after more than 3 years of development, goes into public (beta) release end next week.

360desktop transforms the desktop into a 360-degree workspace, personalized with 360-degree wallpaper.

While the product does some clever things like letting you to grab any web content and put it on your desktop, the key feature, is that your 360-degree background can now be your favorite pano.

While we release the viewer platform next week, the (free) authoring platform/gallery is still about 4-6 weeks away. (will be looking for beta testers for authoring then).

Because of this, we’re looking to profile the work of 5-10 photographers as 360 content for 360desktop, ahead of our launch to the wider photographer/creative community.

We’re looking for photographers, interested in showcasing 2-3 of their best panoramas for users to view as 360 backgrounds to our launch audience of 100,000+.

Obviously you continue to own all content/copyright, with links/watermark branding etc. 360desktop converts all images to a proprietary/encrypted format for viewing on the desktop, in the way that protects the image from any copyright issues. (a bit like QTVR).

Have a quick look at our preview website www.360desktop.com. It will give you an idea of what we’re doing. We’ve also had a fair amount of pre-launch press, and have had more than 50,000 people sign up for the beta.

Our launch is timed for Fourth of July (a special 4th July interactive 360), together with a feature from World Vision, so we’re expecting a fair viral take-up.

We’re wanting to finalise our content within the next few days, so appreciate your feedback and any questions that you may have.

If you are interested, please drop me a line on evan.jones@360desktop.com and I’ll get back to you immediately.

Thanks

Evan Jones

CEO 360desktop
