WEBWIRE

In time for Hollywood’s biggest night, the Oscars, HWOF.mobi announced the immediate availability of a new mobile Web site to enhances the public’s experience when visiting the Hollywood Walk of Fame in downtown Hollywood. Using their mobile phone, fans will be able to turn the streets of Hollywood into a virtual museum. Fans will be able to find individual stars on the walk of fame and learn more about why each star has been recognized with the honor. The public can visit the new web site using their mobile phone at http://www.hwof.mobi or from their home PC or notebook computer at http://www.hwof.com.

HWOF.mobi is designed to enhance the experience of visiting the Hollywood and Vine area of Los Angeles. HWOF.mobi works on nearly every mobile phone currently in the market; the phone simply needs to have a web browser and a data connection. On the site, fans will experience a virtual world that reflects the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Moving from one star to another on their phone as they walk down either Hollywood Boulevard or Vine Street, the fan will be able to learn more about the entertainers whose names appear on the sidewalk stars below them. Not only will they be able to see what that star looks like and find out about the star’s history, they can get precise directions to find any specific star that they are looking for on the famed walk.

“I live in Hollywood and I wanted to do something for this vibrant community and to make it even more fun for all of the wonderful people that come to visit,” said Jeff Vezich, the man behind these new web site. “At a museum I watched how visitors interacted with the exhibits using handheld electronic guides. Hollywood and the Walk of Fame is an exhibit that reflects the history of the entertainment industry, so why not use a mobile phone for your handheld electronic guide in this wonderful outdoor museum.”

HWOF.MOBI is focused on helping fans and tourists to learn more about the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Hollywood area. HWOF.mobi operates two web sites www.hwof.mobi, designed for mobile phone users, and www.hwof.com, designed for PC users.
