The Digital Postcard That Takes You on a Trip

Del Williams
It used to be said that by reading a book you could go anywhere. If you fancied a trip to California Coast or the middle of Times Square, all you had to do was pick up a book. What if you could do it with a postcard. This is not the postcard of old where it had some outdated picture or a stupid saying, but a digital postcard that gives you a point of view experience. It is as if you are seeing through the eyes of sender.

CThru Technologies is the brainchild behind this new technology. They partnered with ParaVision to bring a great HD experience by computer or TV.

CThru Technologies offer over 30 covers With a CD that submerges the viewer into a 2 hour experience which includes the history of Cities, exploration, and a very interactive experience. The DVD is a 12 minute visual experience in cutting edge HD.

Gone are the days of the slide shows or meaningless pictures. With the digital postcard, Photo360, or the DVD, travelers can send their experience ahead or even get one for their own keepsake.

The CD and DVD are offered through tourist agencies and shops, but they hope to offer them through Hotels as well. Actually, they want to do customized CDs and DVDs for companies so that people will know what they are getting or travelers can take the experience with them.

One of the best features is that the CDs come with 10 language options on the same CD. This saves time and expense for those with relatives in nonenglish speaking homes.

You should visit their site at http://www.cthrutech.com to see a short online demo and then ask for them in tourist areas.

Currently they have California, but are working on Las Vegas, New York, and Hawaii.
