EveryScape Eats! Visual Dining Guide Debuts in San Francisco; iPhone App Shows 3D Interiors of Bay Area Restaurants

NEWTON, Mass., Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- EveryScape, pioneer in immersive advertising and enabler of immersive search, today announced the San Francisco debut of EveryScape Eats!, a visual dining guide with a free iPhone application and companion website. San Francisco foodies can now peruse the most complete visual restaurant guide by viewing 3D interiors of hundreds of Bay Area restaurants with the free Eats! iPhone and iPad application or by visiting www.EveryScapeEats.com.

The EveryScape Eats! application allows users to "walk around" and explore restaurants as if they were there in person, creating a new level of engagement between customers and local restaurants. This new approach to restaurant search offers a complete solution to the "where to eat for this occasion?" conundrum and ensures that a dining selection matches the consumer's desired ambiance, cuisine, menu selection and price.

"Anyone who has ever stressed about where to take their in-laws for dinner, or finding an appropriate place to take their boss for lunch will appreciate how quickly EveryScape Eats! can help answer these questions," said Jim Schoonmaker, CEO of EveryScape. "EveryScape Eats! provides easy access to immersive 3D imagery which creates a human connection between the consumer and restaurant, enabling the consumer to make at-a-glance decisions about where to eat."

Key features of Eats! include the ability to search restaurants through visual thumbnails, find nearby restaurants using geolocation, narrow selections based on price or rating and share via social networks. Eats! is available free of charge through the iTunes app store and at www.EveryScapeEats.com.

EveryScape initially launched Eats! in Boston and is rolling out the application nationally with city-by-city launches. San Francisco is joined by Seattle and SoHo which are also available today on the iTunes app store. EveryScape plans to launch the Eats! application in additional cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington D.C. in the coming six months.

EveryScape invented the technology that is the basis of EveryScape Eats!, which transforms a few snapshots of a local business into an immersive online presence. Each restaurant's immersive ad is customizable and includes information such as reviews, menus, cuisine type and ratings.

"EveryScape Eats! brings our restaurant interior and ambiance to life, and helps us engage first-time guests," said Gary Danko, Chef/Owner of Restaurant Gary Danko. "EveryScape Eats! is as exciting as it gets, and we are thrilled to have our restaurant interior available for potential guests to see in 3D on their iPhones."

The EveryScape Eats! San Francisco Edition is available for free from the App Store at http://bit.ly/aNXHvp for iPhone or iPad or at www.EveryScapeEats.com.
