Appendix 1


Unique key technology features
• Dynamic loading and database integration
EON has the capability to provide Dynamic loading of large textures, geometries and other content data from the server. What it means is that complex configurations can be built without having to download all components in advance and any changes of parts can be done on the server without changing the configuration application. This is absolutely necessary for more sizable applications as it keeps application size small for the end-user and cost-effective to maintain and update changes.
• Rapid content creation tools
EON's ease of use, rapid interaction creation and reusability provides tremendous content production cost savings. EON Studio's content creation process utilizes a "drag and drop" approach of predefined behaviors which explains the rapid content creation results.
• High visual quality & detailed models
EON can render large geometry and detailed models (>500,000 polygons = level of detail). Most companies are typically optimal at around (<100,000) which results in significant less resolution. EON has also proprietary advanced rendering engine (shading, reflections, shadows, environmental mapping, progressive rendering etc.).
• Hardware and software rendering
EON supports both hardware and software rendering. Most companies do not support the hardware rendering. What this means is that EON automatically benefits from better graphics cards. This is quite important in high environment where EON can take advantage of the existing high end PC and output better quality.
• Support for advanced peripherals
EON automatically supports advanced peripherals such as joystick, pinch gloves, head mounted displays, voice command and control, tracker system. This means that customer will be able to interact with the models in a Virtual Reality mode by either "grabbing" an object with the hands or joystick, or providing voice commands etc.
• Support for advanced multi-media
EON automatically supports video clips (.avi mpg movie etc) inside the simulation for example a real movie can be displayed on the DVD screen in the virtual car. EON automatically supports 3D sound, which means that any sounds will come from the correct direction, like opening the left window while experiencing the car interior in the kiosk, the sound will come from the left speaker.
• Web solution Plug-in free
EON has a super thin web format that does not require any plug-in and is platform and browser independent. Most 3D companies do not have any plug-in free solution nor do they have a solution that is totally platform and browser independent. This becomes a large customer discrimination issue on the web as many customers have firewalls that do not allow plug in and many customers have platforms (UNIX, Linux etc) and browsers. EON Turbo guarantees 100% customer access!


• Web solution Plug-in based
In addition EON has also a web solution that utilizes a Plug in based viewer for users that are allowed to download a Viewer. This provides a two step approach: Turbo so that 100% of users can enjoy the configuration and EON viewer for the users that can download the viewer.


• Support for stereo displays multi wall systems
Support for high resolution Stereo (Quad buffer) and multi wall high quality projections and stereo displays.
This is possible thanks to EON Immersive as it provides seamless publishing of high quality stereoscopic data on large screens for exhibits or product launches,
• Proven track record of large scale 3D implementations
EON has a proven track record of creating the largest commercial 3D sales application deployments for companies such as Office Depot, Suzuki, Dell, Lexmark, Canon, Hon, Samsung, Shimano, Audi, Nokia etc. EON Reality provides the only solution that has all technical features required to create an integrated, scalable, high quality 3D Application.
