Ubitus and Omek Announce Collaboration to Develop Cloud-Based Gesture-Enabled Gaming Services

LAS VEGAS, January 10, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

Leading Cloud Gaming and Gesture Technology Companies Partner to Expand
Content and Delivery Options for Gesture Gaming on TVs, Set-Top Boxes and Other Devices

Ubitus (http://www.ubitus.net), the software platform leader for fixed-mobile
convergence applications, and Omek Interactive (http://www.omekinteractive.com), the
leading provider of gesture recognition and body tracking technology, today announced the
formation of a partnership to deliver cloud-based gesture-enabled gaming services for TVs,
set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and the service operators providing content to those
devices.

The partnership will provide a rich library of motion gaming content for the growing
array of devices which are being equipped with 3D cameras, including both games and
applications specifically built for motion and gesture control as well as adaptations of
many of the games available on Ubitus' GameCloud(R) service today. The service combines
Omek's Beckon(TM) technology, which enables gesture gaming experiences across all of the
major 3D cameras, and Ubitus' GameCloud technology, which renders games that require
graphical processing on the cloud server and processes gaming media into streaming video.
As a result, the full library of gesture-enabled content will be available to consumers on
any living room device, regardless of what 3D camera and processor it is equipped with.

For hardware OEMs and content service providers, the service will dramatically expand
the amount of gesture-enabled games and applications which they can offer their consumers.
For developers of motion games, the service will allow their products to be distributed
across a wide array of platforms, without requiring any recoding or adaptation for
specific platforms. Consumers will benefit from a significantly increased array of motion
gaming options, and the ability to play these games not only on their TV screens but on
the many tablets and smartphones that GameCloud technology also supports.

"The combination of cloud gaming and gesture interfaces solves many problems for
hardware OEMs looking for motion gaming content that can work across their different
devices," said Jonathan Epstein, president of Omek, "and for motion gaming developers
looking to build the widest market for their games. The ultimate winner is the consumer,
who will get more interactive experiences that they can enjoy with a controller we all
have -- our own bodies."

"Ubitus shares the same values with Omek -- making gaming easier, without time and
place restrictions. We are excited about introducing this combination of cloud gaming and
gesture interfaces at 2012 CES," said Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus. "Ubitus will work closely
with Omek on enabling gaming and educational titles in 2012. The first joint service of
cloud-based motion services will be deployed as early as second quarter of 2012. Without
the requirement for high-end platforms and complicated controllers, all users need for the
cloud-based motion services are a stable internet environment and themselves."

Ubitus and Omek will be showing a demonstration of the service at CES 2012. OEMs and
service providers interested in viewing the demonstration should make an appointment with
Leo Hsu, Omek vice president, at lhsu@omekinteractive.com.
