 Provision Holding Inc. (OTCBB: PVHO)

Dear Reader,

At StockUpTicks we’ve earned the respect of our readers over the years by avoiding the hype and tout junk that many think goes hand and hand with “internet” and “small cap stocks.” So, when we say today’s featured company is like nothing you’ve ever seen before, we mean it.

Whatever you do, take two minutes to read the beginning of this profile. It’s that intriguing.

Today’s featured company, Provision Holding, Inc. (OTCBB: PVHO) has designed a 3-D holographic display for product marketing. And it’s interactive.

Soon, you’ll walk into a store and a soda can will engage you in the aisle, floating in mid-air and compelling you to purchase. It’s the stuff of Star Wars and we think, the wave of the future.

Words alone cannot express how truly innovative this new technology is so if you do nothing else, be sure to check out the YouTube video demonstration HERE.  After that, be sure to peruse our profile for more detailed information on the company behind it all.

    About Provision


... does it engage the audience?

  

YOU BE THE JUDGE

Amazing 3D Holographic Display Solutions for Retail Sales Enhancement, Advertising, Narrowcasting, Entertainment, ATM, and Kiosk Applications.

Provision Holding, Inc. ("Provision""PVHO") develops and distributes three-dimensional (3D) holographic interactive display systems primarily for advertising and product merchandising markets. The systems display a moving 3D image size to 40 inches in front of the display, projecting a digital video image out into space detached from any screen.  It offers display systems for application in advertising and retail networking systems; electronic transaction terminals; virtual store kiosks; and trade show, and indoor and outdoor visual display units.

Provision Holding's interactive display technologies deliver images that engage and inform customers at point of sale and in-store advertising locations in a dramatic and persuasive manner, thereby influencing customers in their purchase-making decisions.
The futuristic nature of Provision has created several early commercial applications. PVHO's initial line of display systems has proven to be ideally suited for indoor and outdoor point-of-sale, merchandising and point of sale related advertising venues. Provision is currently the market leader in true 3D consumer advertising display products being implemented by leading consumer focused Fortune 1000 companies. 

Full color, high resolution videos into space detached from the screen, without any special glasses

Provision is currently the market leader in true 3D consumer advertising display products being implemented by innovative, consumer-focused Fortune 1000 companies. 

Revolutionizing Marketing
Maximum Impact

Provision's proprietary and patented display technologies and software, and innovative solutions aim to attract consumer attention. Currently, PVHO has multiple contracts to place Provision's products into 127 Fred Meyer Grocery stores located in the Pacific Northwest, large California grocery stores, independent Hispanic grocery stores, as well as signed agreements with advertising agents to sell ad space to Fortune 500 customers. Given the technology's potential in the advertising market, PVHO is focused on creating recurring revenue streams from the sale of advertising space on each unit. 

Many people have seen still holograms, but few have seen a full color, high resolutions 3D images moving and floating in space. Its ability to grab and hold consumer attention has created the Provision's initial product area -consumer advertising. Provision's internationally recognized and award winning line of Holo displays has been specifically developed for point of purchase and in store advertising.

    The Market for Provision's Display Systems


"a new media company"

The nearest comparison to this technology can be seen in motion pictures such as Star Wars and Minority Report, 
where objects and humans are represented through full-motion holograms. 

Extensive audience migration across and within media categories is driving major shifts in advertising spending, benefiting captive, auditable media vehicles. Traditional media vehicles like radio, TV, newspapers and magazines continue to lose audience share and advertising dollars to new media vehicles, which include the point-of-purchase or wherever there might be a captive audience. The current media and traditional displays (TV, LCD and Plasma screens) are stale and ubiquitous resulting in significant ineffectiveness. 

The PVHO Holo line of display systems is currently being implemented in a variety of venues including:

  • Interactive Point of Sale Advertising Systems
  • Retail Narrowcasting Networks
  • Electronic Transaction Terminals
  • Virtual Store Kiosks
  • Trade Show Displays
  • General Indoor & Outdoor Visual Merchandisers
On April 24, 2008, Provision announced that it has sold an HL40D system to one of the nation's leading quick service restaurant chains, which will begin testing applications for the 3D holographic unit immediately. The quick service restaurant chain will be exploring everything from digital signage to interactive kiosk order stations, drive-through uses, and the effects from various "marketing zones" within and around the store property. 

Provision announced in May that is working with one of the world's largest coffee franchises to test a variety of in-store digital signage applications utilizing Provision's HL40D displays. Once successful, Provision will install up to 109 systems in the service chain's greater New York City area stores. 

Testing will include projecting full color, high definition 3D videos one meter in front of the display screen, through the front store window and onto the sidewalk. The system will also be tested as an indoor merchandiser and advertising screen to promote up-selling, launch new products and leverage advertising space in high traffic areas. 

OTHER APPLICATIONS
Mar 26, 2008 — Provision Holding  has partnered with Daihatsu, owned by Toyota of Tokyo, to implement a 3D holographic dashboard in Daihatsu’s latest concept car. The car’s debut at the 40th Annual Tokyo Motor Show drew an overwhelming response, and was the only vehicle at the show to utilize 3D holographic technology

Reaction was so strong among attendees that Provision has filed for a new patent for this new product line, currently called model # HLXX. Provision’s HLXX, a specially designed version of its HoloVision product, is a combination of both a 2D flat screen and a 3D holographic screen that serves as the car’s in-dash display. The traditional 2D flat screen acts as a traditional dashboard, displaying gauges such as the speedometer and tachometer. 

The 3D holographic screen presents warnings and vehicle information as easy-to-understand 3D images to facilitate driver awareness and recognition. These features will be integrated as part of Daihatsu’s OPCS (Omni-directional Pre-Crash Safety Support System) to create the next generation of digital dashboards. Design plans and rigorous test plans are currently being developed for Provision’s HLXX dashboard. Daihatsu plans to make the technology available in vehicles by 2012.

Provision's floating image display technologies have multiple market applications across a broad spectrum of industries. The Company is initially focusing its efforts on the $6 billion point-of-purchase and advertising markets. Within the point-of-purchase market, Provision believes that Digital Signage represents a $1.2 billion segment and is growing at a pace of 10 percent per month

Provision has shipped over 400 HoloVision systems around the world
and is in the implementation phase of installing their 3DEO Reward Centers in the
Kroger grocery store chain of Fred Meyer which has over 130 stores in the Pacific Northwest. 

One of Provision's new products is known as the "HL40 Diamond", an extraordinary 3D holographic video display system, to the retailing and advertising industries is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the HL40C. Used to promote all type of products and services, the HL40D is a powerful tool to break through the clutter of traditional in store advertising and merchandising. Provision's other powerful 3D products can be used for a wide variety of interactive applications including order-taking and information retrieval. 

In 2007, Provision made two significant announcements. First, the PVHO signed a co-marketing and co-promotional agreement with Intel. As part of this alliance Intel will introduce Provision's patented product, HoloVision, to the Intel marketplace, and will also publish a joint case study and white paper on the companies' products. Second, Provision received notification that it was one of three finalists for PricewaterhouseCoopers Fourth Annual Entrepreneurship Award, and ultimately receiving second place in the competition. 

Launching its first products into the grocery stores, Provision has developed a new patent pending application. Known as the "3DEO Rewards Center"   or "3DEO", this Provision device projects 3D video advertisements and allows consumers to print coupons as well as receive non-cash awards. The 3DEO device provides food companies and other advertisers with a new way of promoting their products at the point of purchase, where consumers are making seventy percent of their buying decisions. 

Provision's proprietary and patented display technologies, software, and innovative systems are unparalleled in attracting consumer attention. Provision displays project three dimensional digital video images out into space detached from any screen, rendering truly independent floating images featuring high definition and crisp visibility from distances up to 100 ft and up to 60° viewing angles.

Provision 3D display systems feature the optimal blend of cost effective, lightweight, and compact display elements 
available in today's marketplace. All systems are based on industry standards and are Internet enabled
for convenient remote network management.

Content Development 
3D Multimedia for Any Display 

Provision can combine text, graphics, sound and video into broadcast quality multimedia for the display system. PVHO will author and schedule content in an attention-grabbing environment for virtually any type of application. From retail dynamic signage to government, education, business communications and kiosks, Provision provides more creative control with the files produced than with other industry-standard applications. When complete, content is then distributed to Provision's displays, merchandisers, or kiosks using Provision's Network Manager

Creative Design - We understand how to use the display as dynamic signage to its fullest advantage. We combine the best principles of print, TV and web to create media that will engage and motivate your audience. We can take your existing media and reformat it for the display of any size, position or application. Or we can create entirely new content to meet your needs.

Provision plans to build, own, and operate networks of 3DEO Rewards Centers. Provision is partnered with several advertising agencies and Clear Channel (Katz Media) for the execution of "Project Grocery". These firms, and others, will contribute significant advertising sales efforts for Project Grocery with revenues projected up to $1 million per month on these first 100 stores. 

PATENTS and PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY 

At present, Provision's patents and patent applications are supplemented by substantial intellectual property we are currently protecting as trade secrets and proprietary know-how. This includes matter related to all three product lines. We expect to file additional patent applications on a regular basis in the future. 

We believe that Provision's intellectual property and expertise constitutes an important competitive resource, and we continue to evaluate the markets and products that are most appropriate to exploit this expertise. In addition, we maintain an active program of intellectual property protection, both to assure that the proprietary technology developed by us is appropriately protected and, where necessary, to assure that there is no infringement of Provision's proprietary technology by competitive technologies.
