Tel-Aviv, Israel – November 17, 2009 – Xsights, a recent start-up company, enables its users to bring print to life. Xsights makes it possible to transform static, printed items that can be captured through the cell phone's camera into an interactive multimedia experience.

Clicking on the item with their mobile phone's camera will allow users to receive additional layers of information and open up doors to endless interactive content.
