STAMFORD, CT – July 22, 2002 — Leading testing and assessment software company Questionmark and i3Dimensions Inc., an emerging leader in interactive 3D visualization and simulation software tools, today announced a new technology partnership to deliver significant advances in e-learning.
i3Dimensions’ breakthrough Pixel3™ technology allows Questionmark™ Perception™ users to integrate 3D visualizations into tests and assessments with ease on common PCs, enabling organizations to test students on their interactions with highly detailed 3D models. For example, trainers will be able to test a student’s ability to disassemble equipment in the correct order and identify parts.
“Pixel3 enables organizations to extend the boundaries of their e-Learning programs to include hands on, tactile training on complex equipment and assemblies,” said Questionmark President Eric Shepherd. “This 3D graphics technology offers a great way to reduce costs and increase organizational efficiency. Many of our customers stand to benefit from being able to run highly interactive Perception assessments with Pixel3 visualizations.”
“i3Dimensions is excited to be working with Questionmark,” said Paul Lindahl, President of i3Dimensions. “Together Pixel3 technology and Questionmark Perception offer non-technical users highly interactive and compelling e-Learning test and assessment solutions.”
