(Phil Lelyveld comment: EON, XpanD, and TI are involved in 3D education trials in US school systems.)

EON Reality, the world’s leading interactive 3D software provider, announces EON Creator, a new 3D creation tool used to simplify the implementation of engaging Interactive Virtual Learning Environments (IVLE) for training and educational purposes.

The software in its beta phase provides a robust set of automatic tools to help users build their own customized virtual environment in minutes. It allows the user to search from thousands of 3D objects, configure, scale and combine objects in a totally interactive 3D world. Basic manipulations can be performed and interactions created in EON Studio or EON Professional will be carried over to the new interface.

EON Creator allows you to do basic manipulations and if you have created the object in EON Studio or EON Professional, it will carry over those interactions. EON Creator is a tool that allows users to build engaging interactive learning simulations for training and education purposes.

• Select, configure and scale your 3D object (search from thousands of 3D objects).
• Position the object within the space or select many different objects and combine them in the environment.
• Preview the environment and lock the room to a specific location in case you’ve got multiple rooms.

The Interactive Virtual Learning Environment (IVLE) can then be displayed on a laptop or in a fully-immersive environment such as the EON Icube for a user equipped with a featherweight headset.

“EON Creator is a standalone tool that is used to create EON 3D scenes for use primarily within EON Coliseum, the interactive multiuser environments,” said Mr. Sridhar Sunkad, MD of EON Reality Pte Ltd. “It’s a simple tool to use from usability point of view, negligible learning curve and follows the intuitive Microsoft Office 2007 look and feel (Graphical User Interface). It provides the functionality of advanced edit mode for EON Coliseum. Since EON Coliseum version 2.0 was released in March 2010, large Fortune 500 corporations have already deployed EON Coliseum to facilitate internal communication through 3D based online virtual meetings. EON Reality has also seen a tremendous interest in the APAC region with one of the premier universities in Singapore introducing EON Coliseum as an IVLE platform based on EON Reality’s proprietary 3D SBL (Simulation Based Learning) technologies,” added Mr. Sridhar Sunkad.
