allowing homebuyers to ``step into'' and ``look around''
homes listed for sale on the Corcoran site. ``It has been a
pleasure to be working with Corcoran's talented team of real
estate professionals to simplify the process and enrich the
experience of finding a new home for their customers,'' said
Dan Meader, President of InPlace.

and are distributed through corcoran.com. Simply by making
one toll-free phone call, Corcoran agents can schedule an
InPlace photographer to capture their listings. Within one

Founder and Chairman of The Corcoran Group. ``By featuring

sense!'' NetVisits can be seen on many leading Internet

capitalized on how well NetVisits transport viewers directly
``into'' a real location like a home, hotel, or
restaurant.

InPlace Announced Today the First Ever True-Color,
True-Perspective NetVisits Virtual Tour Technology for the
Palm OS Platform
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2001--
InPlace (www.inplace.net) extends its reach to the millions
of users of Palm OS devices who will now be able to access
full-color, fully-corrected, 360-degree NetVisits virtual
tours of any location from the palms of their hands.
The new technology makes the leap from text-only content to
full-color, interactive imagery and is unique in taking
advantage of the vivid color range available in 16-bit
devices like the Handspring Visor Prism, Sony Clie, and the
recently announced Palm M505.
InPlace's Palm implementation of NetVisits virtual tours
grew out of the company's continuing efforts to improve the
user experience on all devices and resulted in a capability
previously believed impossible on the Palm OS.
"This is the only technology of its kind," said Dan Meader,
president of InPlace. "All of our technology, including our
specialized cameras, imaging software, and business
processes have been designed with a single goal: to produce
the best experience for our users, customers, and partners.
Enabling users to access NetVisits Virtual tours on their
Palm OS devices is the next step in achieving that
goal."
In any situation where someone might want to preview a
particular location, the benefit of NetVisits on handhelds
is tremendous. Soon, tourists will see what the inside of a
motel or restaurant looks like as they approach an upcoming
exit on a long car trip. Real estate agents will be able to
show off "similar" properties to their clients while out in
the field. Commuters will plan their next vacation and "look
around" prospective accommodations anywhere in the world as
they ride to work.
NetVisits can be seen on many leading Internet sites and
will now be available for Palm OS devices. The real estate,
travel, hospitality, entertainment, e-commerce, and
broadcast journalism industries have all capitalized on how
well InPlace NetVisits virtual tours transport viewers
directly "into" a real location like a home, hotel, or
restaurant.

InPlace, www.inplace.net,
Debuts with NetVisits Technology that Offers Businesses a
New Tool for Advertising or Exhibiting a Locale
New Internet Company's 360-Degree NetVisits Let Internet
Users "Step Into" Real Places and "Look Around" a Home,
Restaurant, Travel Destination, and More.
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 1999--
InPlace® (www.inplace.net), a new Internet company
offering businesses a more visual way to advertise online,
launched today with its NetVisits(TM) service. Employing a
specially designed digital camera that takes instantaneous
panoramic pictures, InPlace creates an interactive showcase
offering Internet users the ability to visually experience
real places as if they were physically there.
InPlace's founders, former software engineers and managers
from Apple Computer, Inc., developed the NetVisits
technology. When viewed on the Internet, users can step into
a photograph and look in any direction. InPlace captures and
publishes NetVisits within 24 hours.
``For years, Internet users were restricted to viewing only
still photographs or `jumpy' video files, but our NetVisits
change that,'' said company president, Dan Meader. ``For
online companies looking for a way to distinguish
themselves, InPlace provides a fast, professional, visual
representation of a destination - and a true value for
customers.''
NetVisits can be can be easily viewed by anyone with a
Java-enabled browser, WebTV, or Apple's Quicktime VR
technology. Individuals with online access can then preview
these locations by virtually ``stepping into'' the spaces
and looking up, down, right, or left, and zooming in and out
as if they were in the room itself. InPlace hopes businesses
will recognize the advantage of NetVisits and the visual
benefit it gives potential consumers.
``Millions of consumers use the Internet as a resource for
gathering information on dining, travel, and real estate,
but the problem had always been that they could not see a
true representation of that place,'' said Meader.
``NetVisits are designed to change the way people search for
real estate, preview a vacation spot, and decide which
restaurant they'd like to frequent. InPlace lets users
conveniently walk through an actual home, hotel room, or
restaurant without ever leaving their computer.''
