IRVINE, CA, Jan 11, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –Altadyn announced its new platform today: 3D-VirtualEvents.com.Offered in SaaS mode on the cloud, it has been designed forcorporations and event professionals who want to stay away fromboring slideshow-driven webcasts, in favor of more engaging andentertaining ways to run virtual events like virtual conferences,virtual training, virtual classrooms, virtual tradeshows and othervirtual meetings.
“Compared to our previous platform, 3D-VirtualEvents.com is mucheasier to setup, being instantly available by use of our new wizard.The updated user interface allows event attendees to take advantageof the rich and engaging aspect of a 3D avatar based platform withoutthe learning curve which usually goes with it,” declared DariusLahoutifard, Altadyn’s CEO. “Attendees unfamiliar with traditionalimmersive gaming navigation (with arrow keys or sophisticated mouserotations) are offered a simplified experience, using only the mouseclicks. To make this even more pleasant, we have drastically reducedthe cost. A full day conference with 100 participants with full 3Dfeatures as described above, including a strong AMAZON EC2 instance,costs less than $150. Smaller or shorter events start at $99. Monthlysubscriptions are also available for unlimited use of a virtualconference room for $490 per month.”
Altadyn’s patent pending technology is based on a disruptivetechnology that makes high-end 3D immersive spaces for collaborationaccessible to users with mainstream computers in enterpriseenvironments. While similar technologies require heavy or proprietarysoftware downloads and installations, 3D-VirtualEvents.com runs incurrent browsers on typical office computers and only requires Java,the largely installed open source component.
Here are some key elements of Altadyn’s technology included in asmall java applet, which loads seamlessly as the user clicks on ahyperlink:
— A fully immersive 3D engine with physics capabilities — Customized avatars able to walk, sit, talk, raise hands, manipulate objects, point objects or screens with laser pointers, and more — Desktop sharing and remote control — Synchronized 3D object manipulation: rotation, translation, scaling.
