3DNA
Announces Public "Sneak Preview" and Media Coverage
Toronto, Ontario
-- Wednesday, July 31, 2002
3DNA has publicly
unveiled its first 3D Desktop product along with trade show appearances
and media coverage.
3DNA released
the first public beta of its 3DNA Desktop in collaboration with
Shacknews.com and Speakeasy.net on July 22, 2002. The public beta
was hosted by Speakeasy.net and was featured on Shacknews.com by
Shacknews Editor-in-Chief Steve Gibson. "Shackers" were
asked to download the beta, test it, and report their feedback to
3DNA. Shacknews.com is a hardcore gaming site, and has a community
following of over 1 million monthly visitors. Over 1000 Shackers
downloaded the product over the one day release.
In addition
to the previous successful third party testing, in-house testing,
and QA testing by OEM partners, releasing a public beta enabled
3DNA to have the product tested on an even wider array of systems
using various graphic cards and processors.
No major bugs
or incompatibilities were reported by any of the testers, and Shackers
expressed very favorable comments on the 3DNA.net community forums.
3DNA also successfully
tested its integrated user registration system and backend data
server, which automatically feeds content into the 3DNA Desktop
including ad posters, partner content, website thumbnails, and other
forms of live web data, such as news headlines and stock quotes.
Ad posters from several of the leading video game publishers were
fed into the 3DNA Desktop promoting their upcoming video game releases.
Clicking on the posters allowed beta testers to download game demos
and video game trailers directly from partner websites.
Additional media
events that week included showcasing the 3DNA Desktop at the Siggraph
trade show in San Antonio July 23-25. 3DNA was featured at the AMD
booth, conducted several stage presentations in the AMD theatre,
and met with various media companies regarding upcoming press coverage.
At the show, 3DNA received a special invitation to give a live presentation
at the Web3D Showcase to over 200 leading computer graphics professionals.
3DNA was widely hailed as one of the most innovative new applications
of 3D at the show.
3DNA also recently
launched its new public website (www.3DNA.net) which includes complete
company and product information, a gallery of screenshots, interactive
user forums, and an updated listing of 3DNA's strategic partners.
The secure beta site, partner, and investor areas have also been
updated to include the latest product demos, and a new downloadable
promotional video, which aired on ROB TV - a Canadian TV show that
features hot new companies.
