blinkx today announced a partnership with ExitReality, the company that converts the entire Web into three dimensions. Users of ExitReality will now have access to millions of hours of Internet video to view and share in 3D spaces, courtesy of blinkx.

Gartner analysts have predicted that 80% of all active Internet users will have a virtual-world presence by 2011, a potential not lost on either company. It has also been noted that visitors stay longer in 3D virtual worlds than on 2D Web sites, giving media companies and advertisers new opportunities to engage potential customers.

blinkx will deliver TV and video to these 3D environments, providing an immersive and social media viewing experience for users across the entire 3D Internet.

blinkx users who download the ExitReality browser plug-in can now experience a special 3D-enhanced version of blinkx.com. Visitors will also be able to deck out their own virtual environments on popular social networks, creating and sharing their own 3D virtual worlds.

Rather than creating a virtual world in a silo on a Web site, ExitReality has developed a novel technology that transforms the entire two-dimensional Web into a 3D universe. Internet users who download ExitReality’s browser plug-in can view their favorite Web pages as 3D spaces, with rooms to explore, games to play and items to interact with, as well as meet and chat with their friends and people with the same interests.

“blinkx is delighted to be pioneering with ExitReality,” said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx. “We’re very excited to be taking advantage of ExitReality’s technology and eager to develop innovations that will augment the Web as a 3D space.”

“ExitReality adds a new dimension to the online experience,” said Danny Stefanic, founder and CEO of ExitReality. “3D is a large part of the future Internet.

It will enable immersive shared experiences on countless sites. In addition, blinkx’s massive library of free, on-demand content is now especially relevant as users look for creative and inexpensive opportunities to connect with friends and family. As virtual world technologies progress, consumers and businesses will adopt - and adapt - more and more ways to integrate existing products, services, and social networks into the 3D sphere.”

“Social Networks were revolutionary in that they extended a concept of common community to the Internet. The true innovation of ExitReality is that it takes that concept to the next level. ExitReality is the enabling 3D technology that makes real-time social interaction and exchange possible on every existing Web site across the Web,” said Stefanic.
