iVisit LLC Named Finalist in CTIA WIRELESS 2008(R)

E-Tech Award for Innovation in Consumer Applications - Healthcare/
Public Safety/ Transportation/ Public Services
SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
iVisit LLC announced today that its iVisit SeeStar & SeeScan
mobile applications were selected as finalists in the Third Annual
CTIA Emerging Technologies (E-Tech) Awards.

The E-Tech Awards program gives industry recognition and
acknowledges the best wireless products and services in the areas of
Mobile CE (consumer electronics); Consumer Mobile Applications;
Enterprise Solutions; Network Infrastructure; Mobile Widgets; and 4G.
CTIA WIRELESS 2008(R), takes place April 1-3 at the Las Vegas
Convention Center. The E-Tech Award Ceremony will take place on the
Fashion in Motion stage in the Mobile Entertainment eXpo pavilion of
the Las Vegas Convention Center on Wednesday, April 2 at 3:00 PM.

iVisit SeeStar offers persons who are visually impaired access to
a remote sighted assistant. Using a camera enabled PDA phone visually
impaired users can transmit live video to remote assistants on a
desktop computer who can in turn provide audio guidance to describe
the user's surroundings, pointing the location of salient landmarks,
pathways to destinations, or locating and recognizing objects and
signs. The live GPS position of the visually impaired user is also
displayed on Google Maps, enabling the remote assistant to offer
navigation guidance to points of interest or other location based
information that can be overlaid on such GIS databases.

iVisit SeeScan increases the functional independence of visually
impaired users by enabling them to access a state-of-the-art object
recognition system to easily and quickly detect and recognize specific
objects such as packaged goods, money, CDs, etc.

There are approximately 11.4 million people with vision loss in
the United States, ten percent of who are legally blind. (Goodrich,
1997; De l' Aune, 2002) The inability to perform indoor or outdoor
way-finding, and to easily search and recognize specific objects and
signs in the surrounding environment is a problem for people with
severe vision loss and for people who have enough vision to move
around independently without a cane or other assistance, but who do
not have sufficient vision to easily read signs, product packaging or
search for and recognize specific objects.

"We are very excited with the prospect of having developed a
technology that we believe will positively impact the quality of life
for many visually impaired individuals and empower them with greater
mobility and increased functional independence. Sponsored through
National Eye Institute (NEI) research grants the design and testing of
SeeStar and SeeScan has been end user driven from the onset. After
testing the prototypes with over 30 visually impaired users, they all
confirmed that these applications even in prototype stage will
significantly improve their quality of life," said Orang Dialameh,
iVisit CEO and Founder.

Later this year iVisit will release beta versions of iVisit
SeeStar and SeeScan services to users in the US over all major 3G
networks and windows mobile pda phones including HTC 6800 (Mogul), HTC
Flip, HTC Touch, HTC 6700, Samsung i760, Treo 700 Wx and LG Dominator.
Symbian, iPhone and BREW versions are also in the pipeline or on the
drawing board.

iVisit sees great potential for SeeStar and SeeScan beyond
visually impaired assistance. Some other possible applications are
elderly care, remote health monitoring, occupational safety, first
responder applications and even commercial applications such as
dispatch services, field workforce management, remote inspection and
technical assistance and more... "All such users can benefit from our
converged fixed mobile applications. Our goal is to make life
enhancing services and innovative commercial application affordable
for users and in the process create a new set of 3G subscribers for
the carriers with minimal impact to their networks," added Orang.
