CHANDLER, Ariz., April 13, 1998 – Intel Corp. has reduced prices today on its Intel® Create & Share™ Camera Pack retail product line and introduced a software companion CD that provides fun, new camera games and more convenient snapshot features using the Intel® PC Camera.

The Intel Create & Share Camera Pack is an affordable and easy-to-use PC communications, photo and video editing package designed to work with Intel® Pentium® processor-based PCs. It is offered in three versions. The new manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) on the universal serial bus (USB) version is $179, the PCI version is $229 and the PCI modem version is $329. An additional $30 mail-in rebate is also being offered.

The Intel Create & Share Camera Pack is available at most major retail chains and online providers in the United States, as well as Canada and parts of Europe.

"Our goal is to bring the convenience and fun of PC communications and image editing to as many PC consumers as possible," said Don Whiteside, general manager of Intel's Digital Imaging and Video Division. "Together, the price reductions and the new companion software CD make creating, enhancing and delivering still images and video on the PC more affordable and fun than ever before."

Intel® Create & Share SoftwareTM Companion The software companion to the Intel Create & Share Camera Pack includes two new Intel PC Camera applications. Intel worked with Santa Cruz-based software company Reality Fusion, Inc. to incorporate the capabilities of their FreeAction* Technology, a collection of camera games which literally puts players in the game. The FreeAction Sampler product enables users to interact with objects on the computer screen via their own body movement, to virtually hit, throw, catch or touch objects. Intel also provides consumers with Intel® Snapshot, which captures images that can be used to personalize correspondence, cards and calendars, Web pages, and more.

The Intel Create & Share Software Companion CD is sold separately through online retailers at $19.95 MSRP.
