(COMTEX) B: H-NET.COM LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY 3D VIRTUAL TRADE SHOW FO B: H-NET.COM LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY 3D VIRTUAL TRADE SHOW FOR PRODUCTS/SERVICES V-TRADE TO DRAMATICALLY CHANGE HOW PRODUCTS/SERVICES are Sold NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., Jan 10, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- H-NET.COM, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HNSP) today announced the launch of its revolutionary Virtual Trade (V-Trade) show www.h-net.net. Many products for the optical industry are displayed in 3D on this unique new website. Visitors and potential buyers can rotate, zoom and turn displayed merchandise in all directions providing a more realistic display. Virtual Trade sets a new standard in business to business (B2B) e- commerce. The high quality 3D product images allow buyers to enjoy detail never seen before over the Internet. Purchasing decisions for optical products/services can now be made on the Web, bypassing traditional methods and eliminating travel, meetings and brochures. V-Trade uses the H-NET(R) transaction processing network to transfer funds, product inquires, credit information and product information from the Trade Show E-commerce site. Some of the world's leading optical suppliers are participating in the launch. These include Bausch & Lomb, Zeiss, WECO, Symbol Technologies, Hilco, Innova and Centennial Optical. Traditional optical trade shows in 1999 attracted between 400 and 500 vendors. Anton Stephens, Chairman and CEO of H-NET.COM, said, "We are dramatically changing how optical products will be sold. H-NET(R) has solved two major challenges facing E-commerce firms. First, we are overcoming the 'touch and feel' issues of products being marketed via E-commerce. Second, we have established a trade show that is always available with the latest products/services showcased continuously. Companies with new products or services will no longer have to wait months for the next trade show to display and promote them. As an added bonus we have reduced the stress and costs of presenting products to buyers. "V-Trade, which allows manufacturers to display products/services on the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, also facilitates and stimulates the sales cycle. Clients can easily visit any vendor, even from home, and swiftly make purchasing decisions. From everything we can see so far, this is a real winner," Stephens said. H-NET.COM, Inc. is the global leader in providing E-commerce business to business services to the vision care industry. The company is deploying the H- NET(R) Internet-based transaction network and its one-stop multi-service Internet portal to as many users in the vision care industry as rapidly as possible. The company's relationships with alliance partners Microsoft Corporation and COMPAQ (Nasdaq: CPQ) assure the company of the most powerful solution for an Internet-based transaction network that will set the standard of excellence in the healthcare industry.
