LAVAL, Québec, Nov. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Urbanimmersive Inc. (“Urbanimmersive,” the “Company” or “UI”)
(TSX VENTURE: UI) (OTC PINK: UBMRF), the leading real estate content marketing platform, is pleased to announce the introduction of
its artificial intelligence (AI), machine-learning application for automatic image identification.
In the real estate industry, each single photograph of home for sales needs to be named manually by
photographers. This helps listings to be found better in search engines as well as providing greater visual content data,
navigation and user experience. The task of naming still pictures requires a lot of time and effort considering that
photographers can shoot more than 300 images per day.
Urbanimmersive’s Artificial Intelligence application allows photographs to be instantly tagged with the
appropriate real estate category, such as “kitchen” or “living room”. The machine learning application has already generated
tremendous positive feedback from photographers that have tried the Beta version.
This AI application was part of Tourbuzz’s IP portfolio recently acquired by Urbanimmersive. The Company
is bringing back the ongoing machine learning application R&D in it’s Head Quarter in Montreal to take advantage, going
forward, of the Montreal first-class reputation in Artificial Intelligence. The R&D road map with this new
Urbanimmersive’s machine learning application is also to enable it to describe images using long tail phrases and eventually, full
blog posts about a property for sale only using visual content and home basic description. For example, the machine learning could
identify a picture as a kitchen and then describe it like this : “This house provides a beautiful classic kitchen with countertops
in granite and hardwood floors throughout. Many windows provide beautiful natural light.” And so on for each image of the
house. This would dramatically reduce the cost of creating original marketing content about a home for sale by real estate
agents, photographers, and Multiple Listing Services (“MLS”).
“The visual content machine learning applications and the further development in natural text languages
transform Urbanimmersive into an even more progressive real estate content marketing company.” Stated Ghislain Lemire, CEO of
Urbanimmersive. “We can now envision the day where real estate agents will drop the basic home information of a house for sale
(number of rooms, neighborhood, size of house, etc) and related photographs in our system and instantly get multiple full text blog
content articles about the house for sale written differently depending on the home searcher’s styles and need, for only a few
dollars. Knowing that there is more than 10 millions new residential listings per year in North America only, the potential
of this application in the field of marketing is clear. This would disrupt the real estate marketing content industry.
”
Along with the announcement of this artificial intelligence application, the Company announces a non-brokered
private placement with accredited investors for the purpose of maintaining the development of this application. The private
placement is comprised of 1,000,000 units (the "Units") at the price of $0.125 per Unit for gross proceeds of $125,000. Each
Unit is comprised of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant ("Unit Warrant"). Each Unit Warrant will be exercisable
in one Common Share at a price of $0.125 until the date which is two years from the closing date of the Private Placement.
All securities issued under the Private Placement were issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable
securities laws and are subject to a statutory resale restriction of 4 months.
