The Naledi3d Factory Achieves Recognition From the World Summit Award for Its "Rural Life Skills Development Project,"

IRVINE, CA, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Naledi3d Factory, a resident at The Innovation Hub in Pretoria, South
Africa, has reached another historic milestone by receiving
acknowledgement for its interactive 3D learning projects based on virtual
reality software from EON Reality, the world's leading interactive 3D
software provider. In May 2009, its work with World Links Zimbabwe was
selected by the World Summit Award (WSA) Grand Jury 2009 "as one of the
most outstanding examples of creative and innovative e-Content."

During a seven-day evaluation process in New Delhi, India, the "Rural Life
Skills Development Project (Farming)" was chosen to be among the Special
Mentions of this year's contest out of a pool of 545 national best
products from 157 countries.

The extent to which local people and their leadership took up and
understood the power of VR, and in particular, the use of interactive3d
learning objects (i3dlo's) as a learning medium, has been amazing. Of
particular interest is the way in which i3dlo's are now leading
communities to establish income-generating projects themselves, such as
bee-keeping as a new income-generating activity for the centre as well as
the community.

Eli Gudza, Executive Director, World Links Zimbabwe said, "The use of
interactive3d learning objects in the training of rural farmers produced
results far beyond what we could think or imagine. During the training
workshops, it became clear that this cutting-edge approach was capable of
bringing out concepts and assisting in the development of skills,
deepening understanding as well as changing attitudes in a way not
previously possible using traditional media, text or video. i3dlo's have
the potential to revolutionize training across many sectors of
development, not just on the African continent, but globally. They appeal
to the way that people learn, whoever they are, wherever they are and in
whatever language -- through the localization process that has developed
through this project. ... Our view is that it is now time to bring this
powerful learning tool and methodology not just to the people of
Zimbabwe, but to the many people of Africa who need it and whose
livelihoods can be transformed."
