PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 09/16/09 -- Immersive Media Corp. (TSX-V: IMC), the world leader in 360-degree, full-motion, interactive video, today announced the appointment of Larry Logan as chief marketing officer (CMO). Logan, who is based in the company's Portland, OR office, is tasked with solidifying Immersive Media's leadership position in spherical mapping and surveillance, while advancing the company's collaboration with media, entertainment, sports and brand marketing organizations.
