LOG HOME MANUFACTURER MAPLE ISLAND LOG HOMES UTILIZES NEW TECHNOLOGY TO STAY “STEPS” AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION.

Chicago, IL July 18, 2007 --- Maple Island Log Homes of Twin Lake, MI is using a new technology to gain an online marketing advantage on their competition.  Maple Island customers will now have the ability to walk-through existing Maple Island homes to get a feel for their craftsmanship.

This new technology is known as NeuStep (pronounced New-Step), based out of Chicago, Illinois.  Their virtual walk-through presentation allows a user to, from the comfort of their home; explore an existing Maple Island Log Home.  Most people familiarize themselves with obsolete “virtual tours” when thinking of this style of technology.  What NeuStep has to offer, that is totally unique, are its interactive virtual walk-throughs.  The reason they relate their tours as “walk-throughs” is because they are not the standard “virtual tour” experience.  They have set the new standard.

NeuStep emphasizes “complete movement”.  With NeuStep, Maple Island’s clients can virtually navigate themselves through the front entrance of the log home and explore all of its rooms and hallways.  The client can travel inside or outside, and stop at ANY point throughout to take a 360 degree view of their current surroundings.

As Maple Island reconfigures its website, these virtual walk-throughs will be accessible to past, current, and potential clients.  “We are excited to break into the log home industry.  One of our employees actually grew up in a log home.  From what they’ve told me the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into each and every project is amazing,” stated Gene Ellis, President of Sales at NeuStep.  “It is exciting knowing that Maple Island’s uniqueness will be portrayed using NeuStep.”  Ellis added.

Currently, NeuStep’s virtual walk-through experiences are produced both in house, and throughout their extended reseller base.

NeuStep is a subsidiary of NeuCompanies based out of Chicago, Illinois.  NeuStep is dedicated to developing the authoritative web based virtual walk-through experience.
