AppTech Corp's Livecam Platform powers the apps which celebrities can use to stream live video from their smartphones to millions of fans worldwide who follow them on social networks, web and mobile. The company's focus is to increase the availability of such rich content to include internationally renowned soccer and UFC stars, actors, models, and musicians, also known as "lifecasting". It is a means to bring "reality tv" as it happens in their lives to their fan base. In most cases the financial worth of celebrities increases as they get more exposure to their fan base. AppTech Corp's technology will open a whole new world of exposure to celebrities. Comments Elias Rocha, AppTech's newly designated CEO: "It is a win-win relationship for celebrities and AppTech. The celebrity increases their market value and AppTech earns high margin revenue."
The AppTech Livecam Platform is a native code Android video and interactivity platform for originating live video streams with simultaneous audio and text communications in real time. Video is encoded in H.264 and broadcast live, in real time, to our cloud-based servers which distribute the content to large audiences. Elias Rocha adds: "Our new app platform features hardware acceleration techniques developed to optimize the processing power, memory and battery consumption on Android smartphones, making it unique because devices become faster and more efficient than the competitive 'record and share video from mobile' apps currently available. We are prepared to handle large traffic volumes, motivated by the tremendous international notoriety of our content originators. Moreover, AppTech now has the firm potential to generate significant cash flows because our platform provides full advertising support and in-app purchases."
The Brazilian Blur Live! TV service will be available on the web via Twitter, iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablet computers. The contract with AppTech Corp to provide service is a two year exclusive agreement.
Leandro Barbosa says, "I can't wait to start broadcasting live from wherever I am and show fans worldwide my day to day activities from Brazil or anywhere else. I love being in touch with my fans and it doesn't get much better than live video on your cell phone. What a great concept."
