FCVW Uses Altadyn 3DXplorer 'Meet In 3D' App
 PARIS,
France and IRVINE, CA, Mar 2, 2009 - Altadyn, the developer of 3DXplorer,
the first plug-in-less browser-based 3D virtual world creation platform, today
announced another expansion in online meeting centers based on the technology.
The Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds (FCVW), a group sponsored by the
National Defense University’s (NDU) Information Resources Management College
(IRMC) went live with a 3DXplorer Meet-in-3D application last week.
Members of the FCVW include staff from federal, state & local, and
international government, various 3D vendors, and academics with a common
interest in the development and use of Virtual Worlds in government. Dr.
Paulette Robinson, Assistant Dean for Teaching, Learning & Technology at the
IRMC opened the new website to all members of FCVW as well as to IRMC staff.
A Meet-in-3D website represents a virtual corporate lobby, where online
visitors can directly access representatives of an organization. Each online
participant is represented by an avatar, which the user can control within the
3D environment.
The Consortium also set up a conference room last week to present webinars
using 3DXplorer Online Meeting application. Upon invitation, users meet at the
same site for remote conferencing with the complete package of features: desktop
sharing, slide presentations, instant messaging, and live conversation through
Skype. Users can enter the site immediately through any PC or Mac Internet
browser, without the need to install plug-ins or other software.
“When experts from different government agencies come together at formal
conferences, you get a natural cross pollination of ideas,” says Darius
Lahoutifard, CEO of Altadyn. “With Meet-in-3D, the same quality of interaction
and exchange can happen much more frequently, and at almost no cost. In this
way, 3DXplorer offers tremendous value in the realms of government and academia.
Thanks to higher accessibility and easier deployment of 3DXplorer’s
Browser-based plug-in-less technology, we are seeing an increased usage of
Virtual Worlds and 3D spaces by the Federal government.”
