    The Future of Advertising is here: Zeusvision

    We are always on the lookout for new technology and this time is is on a big huge bus!  We are not talking about MTA or city buses but a huge new radical form of advertising you have never seen before.

    Zeusvision is awesome to say the least. First Zeusvision is gigantic, these are 40ft buses built from the chassis up with 31ft digital screens on each side and a theatre quality QSC audio system that delivers some of the best sound money can buy. To experience Zeusvision in-person is to experience something amazing.

    Ellen-Zeusvision

    Zeusvision was envisioned by Giovanni Wolfgang (CEO and inventor of Zeusvision) as a public messaging platform that anyone could use to get their personal message or commercial advertisement out in highly visible public spaces. Advertising is just one usage example, however a soccer mom could use Zeusvision to congratulate her daughter’s winning team, announce a wedding or birthday, or say something special in a big way to her husband on their anniversary. The idea is to make influential media accessible to everyone, because you might have something to say that deserves more attention than the comment section on the bottom of a Facebook post.

    Outdoor advertising in big cities is dominated by large conglomerates because outdoor signage is tied to real estate. Like it or not outdoor advertising in big cities is an elitist business; just like the other major media outlets: TV, radio, and print.

    Zeusvision digital media buses run in the most sought-after locations in Los Angeles like Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills, along with the the trendy retail shopping areas frequented by locals and tourists. The Zeusvision Public launch will bring Zeusvision buses to the top 10 DMA markets with other markets soon to follow.

    Currently Zeusvision is used by Fortune 500 companies (e.g., Warner Bros, NBC, Universal Pictures, Disney). The cost of a Zeusvision bus is about $100,000 per month, however Zeusvision Public changes all of that by making exclusive outdoor advertising an even playing field for everyone. This will change the balance of power in the outdoor advertising industry indefinitely. With packages starting at $99, almost anyone can get involved.

    This is amazing news for small business and entrepreneurs! What would you use Zeusvision for?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????One of the only places you can experience the healing powers of the BIOMAT

    Soul7 is a wellness center that can help you alternative methods to deal with anxiety, stress and chronic pain. I highly recommend Soul7 to discover more about self healing, chakras and the way the universe works with our bodies.

    Technologies include: 

    Neuro-Muscular Vibration (NMV)
    NMV Therapy was developed over many years of research on the positive impacts of vibrations on the human brain and body. These multi-frequency acoustic vibrations transmit muscular and mental commands through the central, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Stress causes muscles to have permanent contractions, which in turn, constantly remind the brain of the anxiety from which the stress originated. Such a vicious cycle causes collateral damage around the spine and cranial cavity. Soul 7’s state of the art Neuro-Muscular Vibration Therapy directly communicates with the central nervous system releasing tensions and previously accumulated stress.

    Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF)
    PEMF Therapy uses electro-magnets to create pulsing, moving energy. These energy waves facilitate and accelerate the way your body heals itself. PEMF Therapy is FDA-approved and Health Canada approved to reduce pain and tissue swelling, fuse bones and treat depression. This therapy has been used to treat pain and edema in soft tissue for over 60 years. The technology stemmed from radio frequency (RF) diathermy, which utilized a continuous electromagnetic field to produce heat in soft tissue. It has been firmly established that tissues including blood, muscle, ligaments, bone and cartilage respond to biophysical input, including electrical and electromagnetic fields. New studies show that with the proper field intensity and frequency, treatment with PEMF appears to be disease modifying. PEMF Treatments used alone or in tandem with other therapies help your body rebalance cellular dysfunction. The National Institute of Health has made PEMF a priority for research. As seen on Dr. Oz this year. Click here for the video.

    Brainwave Entrainment Therapy (BWE)
    BWE Therapy uses flashes of lights and pulses of tones to gently and safely guide the brain into various brain wave patterns to boost mood, help with sleep, sharpen the mind and increase levels of relaxation.  It is an effective, alternative therapy for many disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), fibromyaligia and chronic pain. Our BWE system is also used successfully to boost physical performance for athletes, academic performance for students and cognitive performance for seniors.

    Guide Visualizations (GV)
    GV Therapy is a form of focused relaxation that creates harmony between the mind and body. Through focusing one’s imagination, you are able to visualize calm and peaceful scenarios in your mind. This therapy provides a powerful psychological strategy that enhances coping skills and it involves all the senses. Clinical studies show that anxiety and stress can affect pain levels, prolong recovery time and weaken the immune system. Guided visualization can bring about the state of mind and body most conducive to healing.
