New partner provides global access to

sellers and buyers through

realityBUY.com's advanced 3D/b2b

marketplace

realityBUY.com, the Internet's premier interactive 3D/b2b marketplace,

announced today the formation of a global partnership agreement between realityBUY.com and Systex Limited, Inc. whose main offices are located in Hong Kong. The agreement gives Systex an exclusive license to use the realityBUY.com's proprietary technology and name in Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China.

Under terms of the agreement, the new global partner is also granted access to the realityBUY.com digital marketplace, along with the supporting 3D and e-commerce platform, to allow sellers in their geographical region to present interactive 3D models of their product offerings to existing and new customers who can then view, configure and purchase products using realityBUY.com's proprietary, interactive 3D "See, Try, Buy(TM)" technology.

"The formation of global partnerships is a key part of our goal to provide a trading platform that brings together fragmented sellers and buyers in an interconnected digital marketplace to conduct business-to-business e-commerce globally. Once a seller or buyer is part of a particular global marketplace, they have access to the U.S. marketplace and all other markets in our global network," said Norm Cadsawan, vice president of marketing for realityBUY.com.

The partner in Hong Kong, who is currently in the process of developing and deploying marketing and commerce websites tailored for their local business environment, joins a network already consisting of realityBUY.com partners in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, which were formalized earlier this year. Other partnerships are in the final stages of development in Asia-Pacific and in Western Europe.

realityBUY.com, a global company based in Irvine, specializes in business-to-business e-commerce for a variety of industries including automotive, furniture, industrial products and aerospace as well as the creation and deployment of 3D content for businesses who already have created and implemented their own e-commerce marketplace. The realityBUY.com marketplace features a range of best-of-breed e-commerce technologies, including Oracle databases and Ariba's Commerce Center, in concert with Genuity, Inc. who provides commerce site hosting. The advanced 3D technologies that are utilized to provide the interactive 3D visualization component of the realityBUY.com marketplace include Metastream, Eon Reality, Inc and other cutting-edge 3D software, demos of which may be viewed in the general company website at www.realitybuy.com.
