3D Production for the Adobe Acrobat PDF Format

E-Learning: Interactive 3D can be utilized to visualize challenging concepts that cannot easily be conveyed via static imagery, diagrams, or mere text descriptions. This is appropriate for all manners of training simulations, such as end-user training, technical support demonstrations, product operation animations, and anything else the mind can imagine that may be needed for e-Learning and for Training.

Electronic Press Kit [EPK]: The PR industry is starting to jump onto the viral rich media bandwagon using the EPK, or Electronic Press Kit, which almost universally uses the Adobe Acrobat PDF file format. The next generation of EPK and the ones that will be passed along virally are those that leverage the new media technologies such as Interactive 3D [i3D] that are afforded in Acrobat Reader versions 7, 8 and 9.

Product Virtualization: Now products can be realistically "virtualized" using i3D for inclusion in the same .PDF file that contains the marketing information for the product! Imagine a functioning version of the product can replace the image of the product that is in the current version of the PDF. Products such as VCR, Remote Control, Cellphone, Appliances, Power Tools and such can be fully demonstrated to potential buyers, so that the entire product feature set can be leveraged by the end-user prior to purchase! This will also reduce the "10% product feature usage" that is currently the norm for the more complicated products.

Viral Rich Media: Adobe Acrobat PDF file format allows entire new media presentations to be encapsulated into a single file, one which can be attached to an e-mail and forwarded along from user to user. The earmark of truly viral new media is that the entire rich media content is contained within a format that is not captive to a server, but which can be freely sent around the world at the whim of the viewer. Everything from BrandGames to Virtual Products to Technology Simulations to e-Learning can now multiply exponentially around the world, with no server overhead, because the content is exciting.

Dozens of Applications: The applications for i3D within the Acrobat 3D PDF file format are virtually unlimited. A few of the obvious applications have been touched upon here, but many more business and entertainment publications can be created that are under a megabyte, literally 1000 times less data than the extremely data-heavy Flash and Digital Video that is the norm in new media today. Some market verticals that will be sure to leverage i3D PDF capabilities include: Retail, Government, Law Enforcement, Firearms, Construction, Consumer Electronics, Healthcare, Medicine, Research, Transportation, Automotive, Education, Apparel, Jewelry, Mobile Electronics, Personal Computing, Telecommunications, Home Audio, Home Theater, Furniture and Fixtures, Culinary, Appliances, Industrial, R&D, Space, and the list goes on...
