Sophia Antipolis, France (November 29, 2007) - REALVIZ®, a leader in image processing software development, has joined forces with Lugano-based VRWAY® Communication to support the much anticipated re-launch this week of their popular online virtual reality magazine, VRMAG. VRMAG (www.vrmag.org) is an online travel, photography and technology magazine supported with stunning 360-degree virtual reality panoramas from some of the world's top photographers, and covers a wide range of subjects from architecture, cities, landscapes, hotels and major events from across the globe.

VRWAY was established in 1999 as a publisher of content-rich media for both print and the Internet. The VRWAY mission is to inspire Internet users and potential consumers by totally immersing them in a unique and interactive experience - a virtual prelude to the real-world experience that awaits them, be it travel, leisure, fine dining or shopping.

"VRMAG was last published around one year ago," explains VRWAY Communication COO and Founder, Marco Trezzini. "This hiatus was due to a number of factors. However, we are delighted to be back bigger and better than ever! The response from the VR community was overwhelming when we announced that we were planning a re-launch this winter. What we have now is a re-launch issue that's bigger than anything we have done before, with over 45 new articles from 10 leading industry writers, and contributions from around 29 of the world's top panoramic photographers."

"We are delighted to see VRMAG back in action again," said Dominique Pouliquen, REALVIZ CEO. "This is an influential publication within the VR community, and a key forum for users to exchange ideas and see the full potential of this medium. We are very pleased to welcome Marco and his team back."

Topics in the re-launch edition of VRMAG range from a report by Marcin Mroz on Chernobyl 21 years after the nuclear explosion which devastated the town, and the stunning project, 'Dresden Old Masters Fine Art Gallery' by Jim Spadaccini, with a guided tour of Anshe Chung Studios' version of the gallery and DanCoyote Antonelli's Full Immersion Hyperformalism in Second Life. Johnny Vaccaro also reports on the genesis of Panogames.com and showcases some of the best gaming screen shots ever realized.

Ever wondered what the view is like from inside your washing machine? Or from the inside of a coke bottle looking out? Or how effective ironing under water is? Then wonder no more. These and other extreme virtual experiences are also featured in this latest issue of VRMAG. In addition, noted photographer Pat St. Clair also tackles the often hotly debated subject of Advanced Panoramic Stitching.

"We use REALVIZ Stitcher® Unlimited almost exclusively for all of our panoramic work here at VRWAY," says Trezzini, "and are indebted to REALVIZ, and our other industry partners for their ongoing support of our work. With their help and that of our loyal contributors, we look forward to breathing new life into VRMAG as we enter 2008."
