Looks like IDC Hungary has already made it into the news!

We’re excited to see that IDC Hungary has already received some attention in the Hungarian news! Check out the article here! (or the English version below for those who aren’t quite polished in the Hungarian language).

Center of Excellence in Hungary opens an interactive 3D solutions center with  EON Reality of California

An online stereoscopic 3D content editing, sharing, and conferencing system was presented by the local education sector representatives of the California-based EON Reality. Virtual reality based interactive 3D solutions are used for both higher education in secondary schools as well as in primary schools.  EON Reality Chairman Dan Lejerskar pointed out that new technologies must be embraced and utilized to teach today’s learners, as it is often difficult to keep young students engaged. New, more effective tools must be used where visual experiences and interactivity plays a dominant role. For example, if a student reads a book about the biology of the brain, it is extremely difficult for them to envision. However, if the same image is viewed on a tablet PC or a smart phone in 3D, where the student is able to rotate, zoom, and take apart the object, then a completely different experience and knowledge is achieved by the student. 3D technology continues to play a vital role in education as well as other application areas including energy, aviation, medical sector, automotive industry, museums, libraries, etc.

In addition to their Irvine, Ca headquarters, EON Reality currently has an office in Sweden, a development team in Singapore, and 22 centers of excellence worldwide. Dan Lejerskar is hopeful for IDC Hungary’s future as a center of excellence and that it will become a central training center in Europe. Dabas is also expected to open content development vocational training centers in Europe. Currently, 55 countries around the world use the system. EON Reality itself does not provide these services or software as they are provided by local partners. The interactive curriculum is an online library in which individual elements can be sorted and edited, and currently offers complete, visual materials.

Kognitiv Hungary is a domestic partner and external developer of EON Reality.

Students will find this to be a popular platform on which they can can learn, have fun, and communicate with friends. A stereoscopic 3D interactive media is ideally suited to the purpose – said Barnabas Takacs, the Technical University. Of course, nobody knows when these technologies will become mainstream. Technological innovation cannot be the only feature: ease of use, readily available content, and appropriate legal and financial background is heavily required.

 

 

Introducing our 3D in Education Contest winners!

And the results are in! Congratulations to all the winners of our 3D in Education Contest!

EON Reality makes an appearance at ASPAC 2012!

EON Reality’s Singapore team recently participated in the Asia Pacific Network of Science & Technology Centres (ASPAC) Conference at Science Centre Singapore, an annual event that welcomes visionaries, leaders, and innovators from science centres and museums around the world to gather and share ideas, exchange knowledge, and showcase new innovations. This year’s ASPAC conference focused on the presentation and discussion of new generation technologies and how they can be introduced to Generation Y.

Showcased at ASPAC 2012 was the EON Interactive Mirror, our newest Kinect-based augmented reality display that allows users to try on different clothes and accessories virtually and on-the-go.  Also showcased was EON Artificial I, a stereo display solution that allows users to experience smart, interactive 3D content floating in space- both in and out of the screen. EON Artificial I offers the ultimate 3D viewing experience with brilliant brightness, eye-popping stereo features, enhanced graphics for high quality 3D effects, and full contrast.

EON Reality’s Managing Director, Sridhar Sunkad, also delivered a presentation entitled “Interactive 3D Technologies for Better Learning Experiences”, in which he discussed the tools needed to create, share, explore, and deliver 3D lessons on the EON Experience portal, an online 3D content library hosting 1000’s of 3D models, scenes, and components.  According to Sunkad, the opportunity to speak at ASPAC was a great way to share a variety of virtual 3D learning content and technologies, along with other playful 3D user experiences.

EON Reality is making news in Brazil!

EON Reality is definitely making some big news in down south in Brazil! 

During a recent event, IDC Brazil/SENAI General Manager Bruno Gomes had the opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of EON Reality’s virtual 3D learning applications for Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff, who appeared to be thoroughly impressed. To date, Brazil has already invested in multiple Interactive Digital Centers and is now pursuing an ambitious national virtual 3D learning program. Check out some images taken during President Rousseff’s trip to IDC Brazil!

Education & Workforce Development Symposium 2012

Attention all educators and workforce development professionals!

EON Reality will be hosting the Education and Workforce Development (EWD) Symposium on Friday, May 4, 2012 at our Irvine, CA headquarters.

In response to the overwhelming positive response from our recent EON Experience Fest 2012, the EWD Symposium will highlight virtual reality technologies as they are currently being used within education and workforce development and will also explore new ways to create innovative, high-performance applications within various organizations.

EWD Symposium 2012 will also serve as a forum to address key methods to improve education and promote job creation within the global economy.  As many countries continue to recover from the effects of the global recession, high unemployment rates have produced large amounts of waste in intellectual resources and capital. The growing demands for skilled labor and professional work development, particularly in areas of 3D technology, have created promising opportunities for today’s unemployed workforce in the global 3D technology market, which is expected to reach $227.27 billion by 2016.

Join us on Friday, May 4 to learn more about the future of virtual reality and interactive 3D solutions and how they can be applied within your organization.  Registration is free, but closes on Friday, April 27, 2012.  Register today via email with “EWDSymposium” in the subject line and the following information:

• First & last name of all attendee(s)
• Name of Company/Organization
• Position
• Department
• Address
• Phone Number
