FocusVision Launches VideoStreaming™ to Mobile Devices

Company develops technology to support streaming to Apple’s iPad and iPhone.

Stamford, CT, 27 April 2011— FocusVision Worldwide, the leading global provider of live video transmission, analysis and archive solutions for the marketing research industry, today announced the launch of Mobile Streaming – live video streaming of qualitative market research to mobile devices.

“We saw it as the next phase in the evolution of qualitative research observation,” said Ariel Kunar, COO FocusVision. “First we enabled remote observation from anywhere users could plug into the internet. Now we want to enable observation wherever users are. The proliferation of mobile devices (phones, and tablet PCs) with 3G & 4G networks has made that possible.”

Without question, the iPad and other tablet and smart phone devices have rapidly changed the consumer and business landscape. With Mobile Streaming, FocusVision clients can now receive the same high quality video of their research projects to their mobile devices – giving them greater flexibility and accessibility than ever.

Mobile Streaming on the iPad has all the same functionality as FocusVision VideoStreaming including VideoMarker™ software, notes and live chat. Phone users will receive video only because the screen size is too small to accommodate the full interface.

"Mobile device streaming is a nice complement to our core offering,” said Eric Grosgogeat CEO FocusVision Worldwide. ”Our clients are thrilled by the new development and are even willing to pay a small up charge for this added flexibility. Being able to offer this service to our clients further demonstrates our commitment to providing the best service possible.”
