Teach America - the latest Forum8 North American Premier Partner
The Florida based company Teach America (www.teachamerica.com ) is the
latest 3D visualization company to recognize the tremendous potential of
UC-win/Road the award winning Interactive 3D Visual Simulation Technology from Japanese
VR specialists FORUM8.
Upon the recommendation of Mr. Michael Manore the Chair of the TRB transport
visualization committee, Mr. Frank Broen the President of Teach America
made contact with Brendan Hafferty of Forum8 with a view to discovering
whether UC-win/Road would meet his requirements and whether Forum8 would
be interested in adopting Teach America as a potential distribution Partner. |

After further discussions and a full demonstration of the software, Mr.
Frank Broen signed a Premier Partner Agreement in May 2010.
Mr. Broen's first project involves the creation of an animation for a construction
company and architect bidding on a new university parking garage at Florida
University in June. The architect involved with this project has a Google
SketchUp model of the proposed new parking garage development so will be
able to provide Teach America with a .3ds file for direct import into UC-win/Road.
As Mr. Broen continued; "For the parking garage project, we are planning
on creating a number of animations to show off the garage set within a
1 square mile model of the university campus and surrounding environment.
The idea is to visually explain the issues / solutions about its design
and construction. It is a tight lot, so, for example, showing a 68 foot
truck bringing concrete to the site will certainly be one animation.
"The architects (who have already built three similar parking garages)
are working with the University to find out what other issues will need
to be visually explained & discussed." The Teach America plan
is to use the UC-win/Road animations to show off the whole area and drive
up to the parking garage, and as they approach the parking garage they
will fade from the 3D animation into a real video shot of one of the current
projects they have built previously.
Finally, Mr. Broen mentioned that apart from the excellent recommendations
from both the chair of the TRB Transport Visualization Committee (Michael
Manore) and the President of Ourston Roundabouts (Mark Lenters) his primary
reason for becoming the latest Forum8 Premier Partner was the quality of
both the software and the support available, both technical and commercial.

Comments from Won E&C Co.,Ltd. Mr. Kim BooWon
"We were looking for a suitable VR solution for our business due to
the increasing needs of VR. The strength with UC-win/Road lies in the ability
to represent the entire city. Other VR solution can only represent individual
model, therefore we chose UC-win/Road. In addition, the integration function
with other traffic simulation products like "Vissim"was our deciding
factor in selecting UC-win/Road. Hereafter, we would like to market the
concept of VR to government and municipal offices. " |
