Vibrance Video was first developed as a Facebook Hackathon project called VideoCommerce for which I won second place.

It provides an elegant, effective, and non-obtrusive way to promote products using videos. Product information maps directly to the video in real time, providing a seamless contextual buying experience. For the initial version, this product is aimed to help YouTubers who make video reviews of products. This effectively replaces the traditional ways of promoting affiliate products through video description links and video ads which range from too unnoticeable to too noticeable and obtrusive.
