London,UK (PRWEB) October 24, 2003 -- Cyber3D, co-located in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia, announced that it will be developing and supporting commercial web applications using Adobe® Atmosphere, an authoring tool for easy creation of multimedia-rich, immersive environments in Web Pages & Adobe PDF Documents. Atmosphere opens an exciting, innovative and engaging new way of retaining visitors to business-to-business and business-to-consumer websites.

Cyber3D participated in the Atmosphere beta test program and, over the past 15 months, has built an impressive set of skills now being deployed in the development of commercial web applications using Atmosphere.

Gary Lowrey, CEO at Cyber3D commented It has been a fascinating and rewarding experience for our company to work with Adobe in helping to bring Atmosphere to market. Our experiences throughout the beta program gave us a far reaching insight into the product and created the platform for us to commercially market our web development and content management skills. With several active developments ongoing and early discussions with many others, we are well placed to take advantage of the emerging market for commercial applications using Adobe Atmosphere."

Bahman Dara, Senior Product Manager at Adobe Systems added, Adobe Atmosphere allows Web designers and digital document creators to easily unleash the power of 3-D interactive environments. Cyber3Ds participation in the beta program contributed to the products ease of use and their success, in developing compelling 3-D environments, will encourage others to adopt and standardise on Atmosphere as the rich-multimedia authoring tool of choice."

Cyber3D is actively working on Atmosphere projects in UK, Europe and the USA. These include on-shopping and other commercial 3D web-based promotions. The company will shortly begin actively engaging advertising companies and other businesses to promote the commercial value of using Adobe Atmosphere as part of their web-based activities.

Adobe Atmosphere

The Windows-based family of products includes: Adobe Atmosphere, a sophisticated authoring tool; Adobe Atmosphere Player for Internet Explorer, Atmosphere Player for Adobe Reader; and the free Atmosphere Collaboration Server, which enables real-time interaction and collaboration between users within Atmosphere environments.

Adobe Atmosphere, a powerful professional authoring tool for creating multimedia and graphically rich, interactive environments, also referred to as stages, exposes visitors to a variety of rich interactive content.
