Following its launch in the UK late last March, virtual community VizWoz revealed its plans to expand its entertainment and interaction offerings with two new broadcast features -- a DJ studio and a virtual cinema.

VizWoz offers free multiplayer games and chat tools to its users, primarily 11-14 year olds, and promises a moderated setting where kids can share their interests and make friends. Though registration is free, paid subscriptions with enhanced services and content are also available.

The community's first upcoming broadcast feature, the DJ studio, is set to debut on April 11th and will allow users to "select, listen, and mix" songs from a wide range of genres with other music fans. To encourage participation with its DJ studio, VizWoz is running a UK competition to find the "VizWoz DJ of the Year 2008."

The virtual cinema is scheduled to launch on April 18th and will provide targeted TV and film promotional content to VizWoz's users.

VizWoz founder and CEO Daniel Laurence commented, “The launch of the cinema and the DJ studio form an integral part of our on-going strategy to offer kids and teens interesting content in a stimulating, safe space. We look forward to discussing opportunities with broadcast partners and we are confident that these new features will be a big hit as part of the overall engaging visual experience.”
