How large is the Virtual Reality Market Size ?

 










We get often the question, " How large is EON Reality's Market market size? "
There is not an easy answer to this question as Interactive 3D technology represent an emerging innovative market that is at the crossroads of several different growth areas. However this document may be useful as a market indicator for the following market areas; 3D Customer Interaction Management,  Interactive 3D Virtual Meeting , Simulation Based Learning 
and Immersive 3D solutions.

3D Customer Interaction Management has a larger potential number of end users than the traditional design oriented CAD market as there are significantly more people in sales & training, MRO and support vs. design. Still the 3D Customer Interaction Management market segment is in an emerging stage and the adoption rate will take some time.  The total CAD market is estimated to reach $8.2B by 2012. (Jon Peddie Research)
We estimated, based on our experience of conversion rate from existing customers, that the 3D Customer Interaction Management market will be 10% of the CAD market by 2012, approximately $800 M.

Interactive 3D Virtual Meeting is a subset to the traditional online meeting market.  According to Wainhouse Researchers  project, the online Web presentation sessions and various video meetings logged their first $1 billion quarter in 2007. They predict that in North America alone, revenue from audio, video, and Web collaboration services will reach $4.4 billion by 2011. Karen Keeter, marketing specialist at IBM research, believes that,  "at this point, no single platform is the magic bullet for all 3D virtual business demands".  This technology is currently in high demand - as no other solution merges video, voice, virtual world and interactive 3D functionality into one single environment. EON Coliseum, EON's Interactive 3D Virtual Meeting solution is addressing these areas and adding unique competitive advantages.

Simulation Based Learning  - As an extension of e-learning solutions and changing learning environments the market is rapidly expanding in education for more advanced, simulation based 3D learning experiences. Simulation Based Learning  environments allow learners to be activity engaged in the learning experience moving them from isolated, high-end, yet static tech centers to engaging, scalable, Internet connected networks. The video game industry is fueling and setting the expectations for Simulation Based Learning with interactive experiences through new technologies like Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
If we look at the market for both corporate and education, another term often used when referencing SBL is Serious Games.  The Serious Games market in 2007 was estimated to be around $400 million per year - just in the US (mostly educational and military) The same demand applies to health care providers, which will  bring the overall figure for the serious games to a projection of $ 1.5 billion by 2012.

Immersive 3D solutions - EON's software tools are seamlessly integrated with a wide range of immersive and stereoscopic display systems. From portable tablet PCs and glass free stereo displays to curved-screen and immersive rooms consisting of multi-channel projection walls. These new technologies are allowing people to move away from purely physical communication to "augmented/mixed" reality communication and interaction. Enhanced visualization will become ubiquitous, as it will provide added contextual information to functions like communication, product development and R&D, and medical imaging. Augmented Tele-Presence is one of these technologies - where real-time display of 3D information and images assists and enhances collaboration and interaction.

Mobile Immersion Market - In the longer perspective we see the Mobile Immersion market rising significantly. New Ultra mobile devices with virtual glass displays overlaying and augmenting the real world to provide real time guidance and explanation. Augmented reality is the capability to link the virtual world with the physical world through for example a "superman vision" where a video image is superimposed with a 3D model of the same environment and adding hidden information accessible from sensors like RFID. Target use:

• Assisting difficult tasks
• Installation & support
• Medical visualizations
• Education/Tourism, location based information & cultural heritage,
• Construction and infrastructure

This adoption of Ultra Mobile devices may take some time but is reasonable to expect that it will be a multimillion market within the next 5 years.

The Icube at University of Louisiana Lafayette

The Mechanical Enginering Faculty conducted by professor Dr. Suren Dwivedi, Mechanical Engineering and director of the Virtual and Product Realization Laboratory at University of Louisiana Lafayette, has implemented a 4 wall immersive environment, the EON ICube (Cave) as a part of their R&D facility.

3D Training for Emergency Response at St. Clair County Community College

The students at St. Clair County Community College, Michigan learn about emergency response using interactive 3D visualizations, on an EON ICatcher projector. This system, based on virtual reality technology, allows learning objects to pop out in the middle of the room and is responsive to the user's actions. Steven L. Fosgard, Associate Dean of Instruction Department has conducted the development of the emergency response presentation that has been used for teaching aids in the classroom to visualize ways of handling hazardous materials in case of a chemical plastic disaster. "With 3D technology users view a person, place or thing as it would appear in real life, says Marly Bergerud, education expert at EON Reality, virtual reality and interactive provider based in Irvine, Calif. "This allows students to learn by having real-world experiences in the comfort of a classroom."

The HIVE, 3D for Education

 Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) and Discovery World Museum (DWM) teamed up to develop Wisconsin's most progressive center for research and education in multimedia and other emerging interactive technologies. The HIVE (Hybrid Interactive Virtual Education), located at DWM features a cluster of futuristic pods that provides teaching space for MATC and an attraction for Discovery World visitors. The HIVE is an enclosed chamber that uses computers, projectors, screens, 3-D technology plus motion tracking and uses EON Reality's software to create about 30 simulated virtual environments to run in the HIVE, such as the solar system and a Portuguese landscape. Museum experts and MATC faculty and students are designing other simulations.

The HIVE didn't just convey a few astronomy facts to the students. It also got them interested in learning more about the topic back in class. That impulse to keep learning after leaving Discovery World is what the museum is all about," said Discovery World CEO Joel Brennan. “We want the public to take advantage of this technology. It's a unique learning opportunity, and it's pretty amazing."

The $1.5 billion Simulation Based Learning Market

Simulation-Based Learning (SBL) represents the next evolutionary stage of e-Learning where learning is conducted with a computer or mobile device with the added benefit of the interactivity available in an online environment. While e-Learning has depended on visualization in 2D, SBL creates interactivity, not only for 2D but for 3D visualization applications for educational experiences, that dramatically enhances learning and knowledge transfer. SBL is being integrated not only into e-Learning programs but into classrooms and new immersive environments, as well.  Programs utilizing SBL range from biology, engineering, and astronomy to such disciplines as automotive, allied health, manufacturing, energy and mining, to name a few.

The video game industry has not only fueled the market for SBL but has set the expectations of today’s learners for Simulation-Based Learning as a result of their use of interactive experiences through technologies like Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. As a result, the education market is rapidly expanding and incorporating more advanced, simulation-based 3D learning experiences, enhanced e-Learning solutions and immersive learning environments.  Interactive SBL environments allow learners to be activity engaged in the learning experience moving them from isolated, high-end, yet static tech centers to engaging, scalable, internet connected networks.

SBL Market Size
If we look at the market for both corporate and education, another term often used when referencing SBL is Serious Games.
 - The Serious Games market in 2007 was estimated to be around $400 million per year - just in the US (mostly Educational and Military)
 - The same demand applies to Healthcare providers which will bring the overall figure for the Serious Games to a projection of $1.5 billion by 2012  
-   Additionally, Serious Games are gaining solid traction in Europe and the video game industry is finding more and more business outside the entertainment sector – both indicators of a growing demand for interactive experiences from the consumer to the learner to the corporate environment
The interactive, game-like education and training environments significantly increase the engagement of today's learner compared to traditional training methods, thereby motivating students to become instantly engaged.

Interactive learning offers a more effective and visual communication, collaboration and accelerates knowledge transfer. Educational institutions and organizations who have adopted EON's SBL technology solutions include: the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, the Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology, Texas State Technical College Waco and Honolulu Community College, to name a few.

EON Reality and the City of Clermont-Ferrand Establish the First Interactive Digital Center in France

Virtual Reality will become A Main Stream Technology by 2014

 












Picture your self walking or driving down the street, with augmented reality displays which look much like a normal pair of glasses, informative graphics will appear in your field of view, and audio will coincide with whatever you see. These enhancements will be refreshed continually to reflect the movements of your head.

For years, virtual reality has been associated with head mounted displays, gloves and bleeding edge technology. Many companies have come and gone – failing to create a sustainable business model that can help customers increase their sales or reduce their costs. Some venture capitalists have given up on pursuing such companies or business models. This VR path follows the well known Gartner curve where in the beginning many overestimated the potential and under estimated the challenges of the new technologies which led to a peak and then a crash of the VR market. This has been experienced by virtual reality companies in the mid 90s to early 2000s and then development the VR market was suppressed again – after the dot.com bust. However, EON Reality has since taken the lead in business focused virtual reality and is becoming the market leader in a niche that is now rapidly growing. 

Why is this happening right now and why will Virtual Reality become one of the most important disruptive technologies over the next ten years? 
Simply put, bulky and cumbersome computers, as we know them today will shortly cease to exist. The future is already here consisting of portable mobile devices such as the new ultra mobile devices being by Intel, Samsung and Sony.

These portable mobile devices are:
· 

• Wirelessly connected

• Have graphic power that is increasingly fast 

• Provide context relevant information GPS and have built in tracking systems – six degrees of freedom



Why are portable mobile devices important?
 
 Because such devices are helping us in our daily mobile lives and Virtual Reality is the best way to interact in the new Internet and mobile environments as such environments depend on context relevant intuitive input.  We soon will always be carrying our “computer” with us and getting information when we need it - as we need it – on demand! The question then becomes – what kind of software provides the best interaction method or capabilities – given this new world of portable mobile devices? The level of abstraction with computer software has continued to simplify – this began with very old text based user interfaces in the 1970s and then advanced to primitive graphical user interface systems in the 80s and 90s, and, now, the 2D interface. This trend of technological advancement will continue until the computer interface virtually mimics or mirrors the real world, meaning a 3D interactive environment that blends with our physical reality - the dream many have talked about in the past – augmented reality.
 

These technology solutions are not science fiction any longer
EON Reality’s contributions in today’s technology marketplace will take virtual reality from a geeky niche to one of the world’s most important computer interaction and knowledge transfer technologies (See example).  At EON we have initially focused on things that provide Integrated Product Content Management (3D Customer Interaction Management) which helps companies increase their sales and lower their maintenance and training costs. Also the blending of video, tele presence communication with 3D is integrated as a component part of EON’s launch of Augmented Tele Presence devices. Furthermore, the aspect of using interactive 3D worlds online is probably the largest application area where Internet is converted from a 2D world to a fully interactive 3D world and that of Rich Media Publishing. Additionally, Location Based Entertainment assists in spreading the technology to the volume masses. Our prediction is that by 2014 virtual reality will be one of the key interaction modality for computer communication and thus finally become a main stream technology for business and education.

EON Reality Inc, Busan Metropolitan City, Dong-eui University, Youngsan University and VR Korea today announced an agreement to create an Interactive Digital Center (IDC) in Centum Venture Town in U 2-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea. Busan, the second largest city in Korea with approximately 3.7 million residents, has a very strong presence with the movie industry and the focus of the IDC will be in the application for entertainment. It will also be a research center for Virtual Reality. Busan Metropolitan City will provide the administrative support for the establishment and EON Reality, Dong-eui University, Youngsan University, and VR Korea will establish and run the IDC.  The center will hire over 50 employees from Busan Metropolitan City within 5 years of its establishment to nurture local VR experts and create new jobs. The total investment of the IDC is $2.5 million. “We are honored to be selected by Busan Metropolitan City, Dong-eui University, Youngsan University, and VR Korea to develop an IDC,” said Dan Lejerskar, chairman of EON Reality. “Our software tools and applications provide the ability to create realistic and authentic experiences based on 3D visualization technology, and we are confident the IDC will give the region additional advantage within the entertainment industry.” The Center will strengthen Busan as the leading entertainment capital of Asia. Pusan hosts the most significant film festival in Asia, the annual Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF) and they will, upon completion, host it in the new Busan Cinema Complex, the world’s largest outdoor curved movie screen. The new building concept will be a new intersection between public space, cultural programs, technology and architecture to create identifiable landmarks within the urban landscape.

Prototype-driven management

 What does successful corporate and governmental management have to do with the design of Boeing’s 787 “Dreamliner" ?

 It all has to do with modeling and prototypes. Paul Schimpf at Washington State University and Hesheng Liu, Martinos Biomedical Imaging Center, describes prototypes as the key to understanding all creativity and innovation. "Virtually every significant marketplace innovation of this century is the direct result of extensive prototyping and simulation" . "Consider, the airplane, the animated motion picture, the transistor, the microprocessor, the personal computer, the software spreadsheet, recombinant DNA biotechnology, the Internet and its World Wide Web, financial derivatives, and synthetic securities, and index funds and yield management."

The engines that drive innovation and performance

Why do models make the difference? Wherever you look for the fundamental dynamics driving innovation, you find innovators managing models - and the essential means is massively integrated computer modeling. By shifting from physical clay to virtual clay, every major automobile company has radically reengineered its design and production process. Boeing’s breakthrough 777 jet was built around the breakthrough digital prototypes. Walt Disney can’t produce feature-length animations without storyboards. Microsoft could not enjoy the market share and margins it does without its strategic deployment of beta-version software.

How the world’s best companies are creating value through advanced prototyping

Today, the Boeing Dreamliner example demonstrates that organizations create value best through visionary planning that, like the brain itself, places prototyping right up front. Boeing 787’s predecessor, the Boeing 777 was the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely on computer. All design drawings were created on a 3D CAD software system known as CATIA, sourced from Dassault Systemes and IBM. This allowed a virtual 777 to be assembled, in simulation, to check for interferences and to verify proper fit of the many thousands of parts, thus reducing costly rework. Boeing was initially not convinced of the program's abilities and built a physical mock-up of the nose section to verify the results. The test was so successful that all further mock-ups were canceled. The rapidly evolving prototype of the 777 “floating” inside the interactive 3D world of CATIA, was arguably the most widely and completely shared mental space of all time— it was a great worldwide, digitally mediated “mind-meld” involving thousands of 777 stakeholders—the ultimate in innovative means strategies. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Michael Schrage, prototype-driven management provide governmental bodies and companies with socially shared mental spaces that guide and amplify the efforts of their innovation. As world competition becomes tighter and tighter both governments and companies are being forced to operate in accordance with progressively higher and higher levels of human capacities for organizing and planning. "Prototypes and Ends policies are the key to success Michael Schrage says. "First in the creation of ideas and then in turning those ideas into value- producing products" Extracts from the article "Sky-High Innovation in the Boardroom"  The Public Sector Innovation Journal, Volume 11(2), article 5 by Larry Vandervert  Researcher in psychology and the neurosciences.

To help design the 787 Dreamliner Boeing used a fully immersive mixed-reality studio. The tools needed for this work include technology developed by companies such as EON Reality. EON Reality is at the forefront of developing visualisation systems that allow data from real and virtual objects to be combined, creating virtual prototypes in ‘immersive’ studios with a high degree of detail. With these systems, firms and their customers can experience products and services before they are produced in reality.

3D Learning - A smarter way for education

Kentucky Community Technical College System (KCTCS) is leading the way in 3D education by providing real-world experiences in the comfort of the classroom.
Coal miners go through underground safety inspections while others learn to size and install solar panels on a residential structure. Potential nurses perform IV maintenance, or adjust surgical tables with the wave of a wand. "With 3D technology users view a person, place or thing as it would appear in real life, says Marly Bergerud, vice president of education development at EON Reality, virtual reality and interactive provider based in Irvine, Calif. "This opens the door to a world, where students can learn about science anatomy, geography, architecture and astronomy by interacting with the content rather than reading about it in a textbook". " The students today grew up with gaming technology," said Bergerud, also a former educator. "Now in the classroom, they're looking at the talking head and saying 'I have to dummy down to go to school.'"

After the coal mining tragedies in 2006 in West Virginia, we decided a project could be built to provide instruction on the self-contained self-rescuers that miners use to improve training and increase safety," said Jamie Justice, director of visualized learning and innovation at KCTCS. "This simulation-based training application takes miners through daily inspection, has them go through parts and demonstrates how the breathing process works in addition to the actual donning process." Training simulations can be viewed on a laptop, a 3D stereo projection, which allows learning objects to pop out in the middle of the room, or in a 4 wall space called the CAVE. "Advances in technology and public awareness has bolstered these breakthroughs, Justice said, which will enable more colleges to integrate and use this technology in classrooms and programs".  From the article "Welcome to 3-D Learning" by Russell Nichols Convergemag.com

Increasing influence of computer vizualisation software and virtual reality technology on cabin design

Computer visualisation software and virtual reality technology are impacting VIP and bizjet cabins as never before – but what are the implications of such change now and in the future, and what are the potential pitfalls with this avalanche of new data? The way EON Reality’s business development director Pierre- Julien Barraud tells it, only adecade or so ago he knew of an aircraft manufacturer that would make up to 30 physical models before its flying machine would be deemed ready for manufacture. How things have changed – in an age when computer software systems are now so advanced that whole aircraft interiors can be sketched in 2D programmes, designed, engineered and analysed for safety in 3D and marketed to the client in an immersive virtual reality environment before a single part ever gets made, the time consuming and costly old way of making things seems nothing short of antiquated.

So what does all this advanced technology mean for the customer?

In simple terms it allows them to see what they’re buying much more clearly. “What’s changed is that you can now get from a design that looks quite simple to something that is very realistic, says Son Tran, senior designer at product design expert Priestman Goode. "Especially in terms of material use and lighting, and spin it round to look at all the angles in minutes. In the old days you’d press the render button have to wait a week and it would still not be right".

One step further on from photo realistic designs and animations are interactive virtual reality (VR) environments where the customer can use VR goggles and ‘step inside’ their future business jet. EON Reality manufactures and sells the software tools that provide the ability to convert CAD data into an interactive 3D stereo model. It can also be configured in real time and viewed on the internet or via a display as big as a 3D stereo theater. Current biz jet clients include Bombardier and EON is also involved.
