BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The problem with simulation learning today is that it is comparable to manufacturing before the advent of the Industrial Revolution. There is little or no reusability or recombination of components, and there is certainly nothing approximating an assembly line for smart content. Significant projects become islands to themselves, capable of interacting with other applications only in the simplest of ways.

As a result of the highly idiosyncratic and divergent methods of developing simulation learning, the value of the resulting content is reduced for both developers and customers. Developers find it expensive and time-consuming to create simulation learning content, and customers find that they typically cannot reuse their deployed content in any sort of meaningful way.

3Dsolve's solution to this problem is to develop software tools and technologies to improve the development of simulation learning content. Specifically, our software accelerates development time and reduces development costs for such content, while simultaneously increasing in-the-field flexibility through reusability.

To achieve this, we use a combination of open standards / open source on the one hand and proprietary software on the other. We will use open standards and open source software to build acceptance for our approach, while simultaneously developing proprietary software where appropriate to protect our competitive position.
The key components of our solution are:

• 3D4M. An environment for delivering both synchronous and asynchronous e-learning applications over connections as limited as 56K dial-up lines. Learn more
  
• OSCAR 3D. A development tool for the development and deployment of standardized "smart" 3D objects for simulation learning, with an open source code base to encourage adoption and standardization. Learn more
  

Our team consists of experts with over a century of combined experience in applying rich media and 3D interface technologies to the computer gaming, engineering, architectural design, television and motion picture, and IT training industries. Now, using computer game engines and Internet technologies pioneered by our team over the last decade, we are solving critical problems for large markets in a way that can not be replicated except by other companies with our unique expertise.

Members of the 3Dsolve team created the world's first 3D computer adventure game, the first set of 3D Internet tools, one of the most successful game franchises in the world, and the software rendering technologies in Shockwave 3D, the leading standard for 3D on the Internet today.
