                  NAB Show is only 3 days away! 
                  At FORUM8 booth, UC-win/Road, our Interactive 3D VR Simulation & Modeling 
Software will be demonstrated along with VR-Cloud®, our unique cloud computing 
solution for hosting real-time virtual environments for easy and interactive 
on-line access by anyone with internet access. Both products are ideal solutions 
for many types of collaborative projects, in many industries, including 
media/broadcasting.  
                  
                  Date: April 8, 2013 - April 11, 2013 
                  Venue: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada USA 
                  Overview: State-of-the-art content delivery solution which exceeds the
                  traditional media & entertainment technology 
                  Booth No.: A800, located within the Connected Media World Zone, North Hall, Las Vegas Convention
                  Center 
                  Official Web Site: http://www.nabshow.com/ 
                   
                  You may have already received a special invitation to NAB Show from FORUM8
                  by email last month, but this is a reminder.  If you have already registered
                  online by accessing the link that is included in the body of the invitation
                  email, we look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas.  If you have not registered yet I am sorry to inform you
                  that the deadline for free admission has passed but you can still go to the link within the email to register
                  for a very reasonable fee of $25. This cost far outweighs the kind of cutting
                  edge technology you will be able to witness live, so this would definitely
                  be a very good investment.  We hope to see you all at the convention center.  On Tuesday April
                  9th from 11:30am to 12pm, in the Connected Media World Theatre
                  conveniently located just few steps from FORUM8 booth, Christophe Soulier, who is the chief of FORUM8's
                  Supercomputer-Cloud Research Lab in Kobe, Japan, is going do a presentation
                  on the real-time, cloud-based 3D virtual reality applications, in particular
                  the applications of VR-Cloud®.  The presentation
                  will show how it can be used to create more attractive contents, and how
                  the audience can take part of the creation process. You will be seeing VR-Cloud®
                  in action!  Make sure you mark this day along with the other 3 days of the event on your calendar because this is
                  a presentation you won't want to miss. 
                  Don't forget to pick up your free issue of the IBE Magazine and Supplement
                  that is inserted into the magazine, which is stacked in bins located at
                  various locations within the convention center.  Please click here to download the soft copy of the Supplement featuring a summary of FORUM8
                  and their premier 3D Visual Interactive Simulation & Modeling technologies
                  on showcase on page 4, and an abstract of FORUM8's presentation coupled
                  with a short bio of the presenter Christophe Soulier on page 6. 
                   
                  At
FORUM8 booth, VR-Design Studio, our Interactive 3D VR Simulation &
Modeling Software will be demonstrated along with VR-Cloud®, our unique
cloud computing solution for hosting real-time virtual environments for
easy and interactive on-line access by anyone with internet access.
Both products are ideal solutions for many types of collaborative
projects, in many industries, including media/broadcasting. It's our
pleasure to extend to you this FREE Exhibits-only Registration.
Remember, what you see in Vegas doesn't have to stay in Vegas!

VR-Cloud® is a consensus building solution which uses 3D and VR on
                  a cloud server. As long as you're connected to the Internet, you can take control of VR space using your web browser even from a thin client. In addition to the existing
                  Flash Version (formerly UC-win/Road for SaaS), we offer the Standard
                  version and the Collaboration version that both have enhanced functions that come in handy. 
                  (FORUM8 Co., Ltd. obtained a patent for their technology VR-Cloud®, defined as "Driving simulation equipment, server and program"
                  that enables 'driving simulation within the 3D VR environment using a computer
                  keyboard', in December 2012 from the Japanese patent office [Patent No. 5149426]) 
                   
                  VR-Cloud® Collaboration 
                  As
an addition to the Standard version, the Collaboration version takes
you few steps further; the practical use of more advanced VR, such as
"3D bulletin board function" and "Annotation function" etc. on Cloud is
realized.  
 
-3D bulltin board function : Creating discussions within the VR space, displaying and replaying them. 
-Annotation function : Creating and displaying the annotation such as a figure and text within the VR space by a simple editor.

                  VR-Cloud® Standard 
                  Original
transmission technology "a3S (Anything as a Service)" is implemented,
and the performance improved more than 4 times as much as the
conventional ratio. This is a cloud type of VR application in the new
form and can be used interactively by clients i.e. they can upload
their contents to the our VR-Cloud® server and take control of the VR
enironment hosted by the server. 
 
-Performance improved drastically with our a3S transmission technology.  
                  -Many simulation functions equipped in UC-win/Road are available.

                  VR-Cloud® Flash Version (formerly UC-win/Road for SaaS) 
                  Existing UC-win/Road for SaaS. 
It's a system built to run UC-win/Road on the server and to enable
the remote control of VR space with the use of Adobe Flash Player
as the client software via plug-in.  
-It's possible to release the data created in UC-win/Road online.
 People in general can then take control of VR space and freely
check the uploaded project by themselves.  
                  -Various interactive actions are possible within VR space, such as driving and traffic simulation.

UC-win/Road is a tool that
allows the creation of 3D VR data with quick and easy operations.
Practical data features include our standard database, a Web/Road
Database and a LandXML data exchange function. It is equipped with an
excellent VR creation / editing function for everything from road
alignments, cross sections and terrain processing to traffic setup,
model setup / processing, etc. Large-scale 3D spaces can be made by
simple procedures in a surprisingly short time. 
                   
Visual option tools supporting several VR displays and presentation
functions support the real-time presentation of landscape studies,
design deliberations, project descriptions, etc. It has been utilized
as a tool for building wide consensus for public works and developments
by private constructors in general, as well as for road planning and
design. 
                   
                  The new features of UC-win/Road Ver.9 (released in April, 2013) will be introduced.
