Millions of gamers around the world will now be able to access E3 2011 with the launch of E3 Insider (www.E3Insider.com), the Entertainment Software Association announced today. E3 Insider provides a virtual event experience exclusive in-depth interviews, behind-the-scenes looks at the event, and previews into highly-anticipated computer and video games.
Starting today, E3 Insider will feature pre-show coverage and a steady stream of exhibitors' virtual booth content such as announcements, screens and video trailers. Beginning June 6, 2011, E3 Insider will provide a real-time news feed, streaming coverage of press conferences, exclusive video interviews, and a comprehensive virtual E3 experience accessible from web and mobile browsers.
"E3 is the leading computer and video game event in the world. Millions of enthusiasts who want to attend will now be able to have the same incredible experience as the attendees on the exhibit floor," said Rich Taylor, senior vice president for communications and industry affairs at the ESA. "We're proud to offer this opportunity to gamers and look forward to their enthusiasm for the innovative and remarkable entertainment that will be unveiled at E3."
Each E3 exhibitor will be featured on E3 Insider through a virtual booth that includes its latest announcements, screenshots, game trailers and exclusive show floor video interviews.
Visitors will be able to rate their interest in company announcements through voting polls and real-time social data that will reveal the most viewed games and the most anticipated games of the show.
E3 Insider was developed in cooperation with IDG Entertainment/GamePro Media, which provides content for targeted audiences. An interactive show floor map, using a real time Web communication platform powered by Kaazing, will display a "heat map" identifying where virtual "crowds" are gathering. Using the heat map, site visitors can immediately follow the hot stories and games at the event. Both during and after the event, exhibitors will have access to site analytics that gauge consumer interest in their activities at E3.
