“Vivaty Scenes transforms a user’s everyday social network or IM client visit into a more expressive, visually engaging, and fun experience,” said Keith McCurdy, Vivaty co-founder and CEO. “There is an undeniable trend towards new levels of socialization and engagement on the web, and we have removed the technology barriers preventing users from having a more immersive web experience. This is the first of several products on the Vivaty platform and we’re excited to make it available on a massive scale.”
