Our SilverStream Network is available to virtual world consumers for free and uses an advertising revenue model. Through our network, consumers are able to receive content in several ways, including:
- Virtual Kiosks: Stationary virtual display units that deliver media to avatars who pass within their range. Can display video, images, formatted text, or streaming music, and come equipped with a visual user interface. Content selection for these units can be controlled in-world or through the SilverStreamNetwork.com portal, and can also gather extensive metrics on avatar interaction.
- vHUDs: Virtual world Heads Up Displays deployed along with SilverStream Servers to extend the delivery of media and applications throughout the 3D Internet. They allow people to access content and services from an interactive user interface embedded into the platform display screen.
- Collab: A collection of collaboration applications that enhance the conferencing capabilities of the 3D Internet by replicating familiar presentation and collaborative tools in a virtual environment.
Ensuring the delivery of relevant content is at the heart of our solution. The SilverStream Network accomplishes this by accurately matching ads or other content with the specific interests of virtual world consumers, using:
- Content metadata: Tags, descriptive keyword searches, and other aggregated data.
- Personalization: The integration of active feedback, content and ads, filtered over time to accommodate the personal preferences of the user.
- Virtual localization: The use of sensor data collected dynamically on the consumer’s location and surrounding virtual environment to enable the instantaneous delivery of relevant content from one moment to the next.
The SilverStream Network solution is highly flexible and adaptable. It is available as a complete end-to-end solution in which i3D manages everything from content modeling to final delivery. Likewise, our solution allows you to use your own in-house designers or third parties to build virtual content.
In addition to helping advertisers and other content providers make the most of the 3D Internet, the SilverStream Network offers specific advantages to other participants, including:
- Virtual world platform providers: Offer a targeted ad and media network as an additional revenue stream by working with i3D to integrate the capabilities of the SilverStream Network into your existing systems.
- Second Life Sim owners: Use the SilverStream Network to free yourself from parcel medial limitations, offer SilverStream-enabled applications to your residents and gain an alternate revenue stream.
- Virtual world gadget makers: Add video, images and audio to your gadgets while gaining instant revenue potential using a SilverStream-enabled advertising model.
