| September 5, 2002 American Standard Launches Bathroom Planning Tool Using Scene7 Platform Consumers Can Visualize and Design Bathrooms Online Before Purchasing Novato, CA — Scene7, a leading provider of dynamic imaging technologies, today announced the launch of a custom online bathroom planning tool for American Standard Companies Inc. (NYSE:ASD). American Standard, the world's leading plumbing designer and manufacturer, will use the interactive tool to allow consumers to place American Standard products into a customized bathroom online, as well as save product information for reference when shopping at their nearest dealer or retailer. The bathroom planning tool is accessible online at www.americanstandard-us.com. "We are very pleased to allow American Standard consumers to select from approximately 30 different products for the bathroom, visualize how they will appear in their own room, and then save that information for future reference," said Douglas Mack, CEO of Scene7. "Our easy-to-use, interactive technology enables companies like American Standard to market to their consumers in a unique way, thus enhancing loyalty and increasing sales." Plan Your Room The bathroom planning tool uses technology from Scene7's proprietary Infinite Imaging™ Platform to let consumers easily lay out detailed, two-dimensional room plans and visualize how products and objects will fit into those spaces. Features include easy drag-and-drop adjustment of walls, options including split walls, and simple one-click additions of products for the bathroom by American Standard, including toilets, sinks, whirlpools, bathtubs, showers and structural elements. The Plan Your Room tool also allows consumers to add sized-to-scale fixtures to their rooms. Scene7's smart object orientation will place items in the correct orientation when moved. Customers can then re-size and print bathroom templates to bring to their nearest American Standard dealer or retailer.
