Winter Springs, Florida, February 4, 1998 -- Roundabout Logic, Inc.

Roundabout Logic, Inc. is a newly formed corporation, committed to the

continue to provide the product support that developers need. Our upcoming
revisions of Nodester and Widgetizer will give developers the creative
options they want, and some they may not even know they'll want!"

Nodester, the renowned rapid panoramic editor for QuickTime VR, first got
national attention when it was included in Guy Kawasaki's address during
the keynotes at Macworld Expo Boston in August of 1997 as one of his picks
for the ten most exciting new Macintosh applications for 1997. Since then
it has gained notoriety from most of the world's Macintosh press and has
been deemed outstanding in many comparitive product reviews as well.
Widgetizer is the innovative rapid object editor for QuickTime VR (QTVR).
With features such as definable hot spots, custom backgrounds, frame-based
animation and sound integration, Widgetizer provides the most comprehensive
object creation toolset on the market. Both Nodester and Widgetizer export
QuickTime VR 1.0 and 2.0.

Apple Computer, Inc. developed QuickTime VR and has vigorously supported
its adoption as an industry standard. With Apple's recent beta release of
QuickTime 3.0, QuickTime VR v2.1 and streaming QuickTime Plug-In v2.0, that
standard has been achieved. QuickTime VR is an extension of Apple's basic
QuickTime technology and supports two different types of views, QTVR
panorama movies and QTVR object movies. Panoramic editors, like Nodester,
produce movies which look out from a center or nodal point, allowing the
viewer to to simulate turning and viewing 360 degrees around a panoramic
scene. Widgetizer, a rapid object editor, generates object movies which
look in at a center point or plane, simulating the effect of holding an
object in the hand and turning it around to see all sides, top and bottom.
QuickTime VR is an innovative enabling technology for electronic commerce.
Usually implemented as a photo-realistic or 3D rendered virtual reality,
QTVR is finding its way into markets such as product catalogs, real estate,
automobiles, museums, education, travel industry, etc.
