Video Chat API Transforms Your Multi-User Activities Through 6rounds in Less Than 15 Minutes
6rounds social entertainment platform launches their API at Google I/O 2010, enabling developers across the web multi-user functionality, while incorporating video chatting capabilities
TEL AVIV, Israel, May 19 -- Today, 6rounds announced the launch of its developers API at Google I/O 2010. The API is designed to offer a powerful tool for developers of multi-user games and social activities as well as to further enrich their video chat experience with exciting new capabilities.
6rounds social entertainment platform challenges traditional video chatting methods by creating a beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly platform, that offers people a real place to meet, video chat, collaborate, feel close to one another and have fun together. The platform is available to use on http://www.6rounds.com and through their video chat Google Wave extension as well as their Facebook application (to be launched soon).
Developers are invited to create real-time multi-user rich activities through 6rounds API. They can incorporate their activities with video streaming and text chatting, sync users' events and mouse movements, customize the user backgrounds and webcam effects, as well as use visual gifts to enhance the video chat experience. These features create a breathtaking experience for users and prolong their interaction within the platform.
In less than 15 minutes, developers can simply and easily integrate their existing activities and games into 6rounds video chat experience, or create new inspiring apps, both of which can leverage the ability to use gifts, effects and skins. Furthermore, the developers will soon have the opportunity to embed their activities in a stand-alone widget, anywhere across the web, which will allow fast distribution and mass market penetration.
The first few submitted applications will get the chance to be a default application in the video experience that will be spread throughout the cross platform environment through leading social networks and other future partnerships. Furthermore, the 6rounds studio will contain an app store, with free and premium apps, which will allow revenue sharing opportunities as well an affiliation program for developers.
6rounds is a flash-based cross-platform environment that uses P2P technology in its video chat experience.
"As developers ourselves, our focus was to create something that will speed up the development process and concentrate on game functionality instead of platform boundaries," says Gadi Srebnik, VP Product of 6rounds. "Typical social activities are focused primarily on an asynchronous experience. 6rounds finally changes this," states Co-Founder and COO, Ilan Leibovich.
