ECS Announces Expanded Delivery Capability for Nexus Virtual Worlds
March 29, 2010. Orlando, Fla. Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) announced today that its Virtual Worlds are now available in three delivery platforms: the traditional desktop method, Nexus Web and Nexus Mobile. Using break-through technology, this Nexus upgrade enables users and participants to access training and education programs anytime/ anywhere.
Nexus Web provides full access to 3D virtual worlds from any Flash-enabled browser including Mozilla FireFox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera, Google Chrome, and Safari. As Nexus Web detects the bandwidth of an individual’s delivery device, it automatically makes the adjustments and delivers Nexus to the participant. The program supports the full spectrum of delivery from HD quality to Air Card bandwidths.
Unique in this upgrade is Nexus Web’s capability to run behind government firewalls and be accessible on computers with government security restrictions. This upgrade alone enables thousands of first responders, service members and other government users’ access to Virtual World.
The upgrade also enables users’ access via the new Nexus Mobile platform. The platform uses full 3D streaming and access to event materials such as PowerPoint slides on iPhones and other smart phones.
“This upgrade,” stated ECS program manager, Mary Ann Pigora, “is a major step forward in delivering training and education curriculum to our customers. It allows users the ability to carry their training with them wherever they go, and it delivers effective, engaging Nexus virtual world applications.”
ECS CEO, Waymon Armstrong, stated, “ECS is proud to continue to provide our customers – the most creative solutions possible for their training and education needs!”
