If you want to be a founding associate of LocationExchange than today (may 31st) is your last chance !!
Please call me or send email to know what paperwork you need to supply… quickly.

After this date, you can still become a share holder / co-owner after june 13th.

Locamundo.com should be the online vehicle of LocationExchange.
What needs to be done in the near future for Locamundo.com ?

-> Research on demand :

Research on demand - clients can ask for a location search that will be done in the network by an ‘office researcher’. This will give add a ‘face’ to the online service.

-> Translation :

It’s important that we start serving information in the clients own language. e.g. the classtree needs to be translated in different languages : it’s a burdon for a french guy to search for ‘pond’ - in his language, that’s : ‘étang’…

-> Better upload features :

Web-based ftp machine to upload entire maps of images

-> Implementation of new techniques :

Like 360° location viewing (QTVR)

-> Watches :

We will install ‘wheat’, ’sunflower’, ’snow’, etc… watches - so our clients will know where to find what easily.

-> Create a database with Q-Spheres :

Q-Sphere is high technology. We are already strongly connected to each other through the Locamundo.Network. We can easily make hundreds or even thousands of Q-Spheres in few time. First on demand, later we can offer Q-Sphere locations through an online database.

-> Our selection criteria will be more severe to match quality :

We will create a ‘cretified location professional’ seal to be used in websites or business prints.

And much more…

So there is a lot of work to do. Later you will see how you can become a co-owner of LocationExchange and to help develop the network location business in the world.

Advantages of working with Q-Spheres are very interesting for location professionals. It becomes possible to scout locations and deliver locations to a client without him coming on the location. It is in particular a fantastic system to shoot in difficult locations, when there is a high time pressure or when the budget doesn’t allow to travel.

The advantages for the advertising and imaging industry are big :
- not linked to a geographical location (we can shoot quickly everywhere in the world, especially there where a normal production can’t come)

- season independent choice of locations (on file) - summercampagnes can be prepared in winter time
- broader choice of locations (worldwide, no borders)

- cost effective (no travel costs, no crew, fixed prices)

- fast results (on demand or on file with small Q-Sphere teams)

- unlimited in time : the Q-Sphere locations are for ever !! They can be sold over and over again while the location professional who made it gets a % of the sales… over and over again.
Although it is pretty expensive and complex at the moment, the technique of RBV (reality based visualization) which uses the Q-Spheres will become cheaper and easier to use as it goes. I estimate that half of the productshoots could apply for this new technique… this means a lot of work for us in the next years.

I don’t think this will replace classic photography, but you must see it as a medium aside, simply another medium, like television and film do the same thing but in a different way. Photographers don’t have to fear for their lives or jobs
