OLD BETHPAGE, N.Y. (June 20, 2002) - NBC Sports teamed with Kewazinga Corp., a leading new media and technology service company (www.kewazinga.com), this past week to provide Kewazinga's patent-pending video technology during NBC's weekend coverage of the 102nd USGA US Open. Marking its 6th television appearance this year (and 7th in 10 months), the Kewazinga system delivered a truly enriching video experience by providing home viewers with a unique perspective of the swings of the world's top golfers as they teed-off at the 11th. Highlights included Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Greg Norman, John Daly and others.

Prior to the telecast, Tommy Roy, NBC's Executive Producer had this to say about using Swing View: "When it comes to producing golf telecasts," said Roy "I'm not a guy that likes eye candy unless it's of benefit to the viewer. In this case, one of Johnny Miller's best attributes is that he's an excellent teacher, and the Kewazinga technology should really compliment that." And it did. Johnny Miller's enthusiastic analysis of Swing View was recognized as big contributor to the overwhelming success of the Broadcast.

NBC produces Open winner, with announcers, shots

"NBC seems to come up with more interesting replays, including Woods making like a maestro with his club Sunday after his strong drive on 15. Add the technical gimmicks such as the wraparound-angle swing view, and NBC continues to demonstrate a solid commitment to golf coverage."

NBC delivers solid coverage at Open

"NBC's hole preview graphics provided a wealth of information without looking cluttered, and the replays from Swing View -- a system of 36 cameras placed around the 11th tee to give a multi-angled view throughout a tee shot -- was exceptionally smooth and provided a great tool for Miller to break down players' swings."

NBC: Open Made History

"NBC said its coverage of this year's U.S. Open Golf Championship was the most-watched Open ever, with 55 million viewers tuning in some portion of the weekend (June 15 and 16) coverage." Even prior to the US Open broadcast news leaked out that Swing View would be a part of the show, and Kewazinga received excellent coverage from the likes of:

This preview coverage was primarily the result of the crowd-pleasing golf broadcast debut Kewazinga's technology had on The Golf Channel during its coverage of the Asahi Ryokuken International Championship on May 16, 2002.

Kewazinga's proprietary patent-pending technology is an extraordinary breakthrough in immersive interactive technology, which allows viewers to experience golf swings from just about any perspective. "It's ŒThe Matrix' meets Golf" said Bill Sobel, VP/Business Development of the New Jersey based company. The system captures events using multiple video cameras and provides simultaneous viewing from one camera to the next in a freeze-frame mode or in rolling video.

"It was a great experience working with the folks at NBC at Bethpage," said David Worley Chairman and CEO of Kewazinga Corp. "We see our involvement with NBC and Golf as a great way to not an introduction for NBC viewers to this exciting technology, but as an essential tool for golf teaching professionals and training centers as well. In the coming months, viewers will be treated to a variety of events enhanced by Kewazinga's video technology on both NBC and The Golf Channel, as well as other networks. In addition, later this year Kewazinga will be rolling out a customized system for the golf instruction market."
