Looxcie Releases LooxcieLive: Stream Live Video Direct From Your Point of View to Friends and Family

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Looxcie, Inc., makers of the first wearable mobile-connected video cam, has released a public beta version of LooxcieLive™, a live video streaming service and application that leverages the award-winning Looxcie social video cam and your smartphone.  By turning your Looxcie video cam into a personal streaming device, LooxcieLive allows you to share video in real time while remaining completely immersed in the action.  The app can be downloaded today at www.looxcie.com/looxcielive.

Utilizing a group cast, invite-based model, LooxcieLive allows users to capture live video from their point of view and stream it across mobile networks to single or multiple viewers.  Even if viewers can't watch the feed in real time, the replay feature allows them to go back and watch at any point over the next 24 hours. Whether it's sharing the excitement of opening grandma's Christmas present with her, or streaming the family ski vacation in real time, "see-what-I-see" personal video casts and audio chatting capabilities create an immersive, real-time experience for the viewers no matter where they are.  

"Since our launch in 2010, we've strived to tighten your social circles – first by getting the video camera out of your hands to free you up so you can live your life, and then by making it easy to share your memorable moments instantly," said Looxcie CEO, Romulus Pereira.  "LooxcieLive is the next step in bringing people closer.  You can now share your life with people you care about anywhere, anytime, live."
