During the last two weeks Sensavis met with key industry opinion leaders, potential customers and partners in the US during a market research activity. The goal was to acquire an updated insight on the US market at present, ensure alignment of the market needs with our product set and to get feedback on the progress with the interactive 3D visualization modules which currently are under development. To say the least the market research activity gave immideate strong and positive feedback!

In a recent meeting with Sensavis CTO Jonas Malmsten, I had the opportunity to explore existing products and works-in-progress first hand. Jonas informed me of plans for releasing off-the-shelf products by early 2012, and the possibility that this launch could extend to the U.S. market, reaching medical schools, hospitals, universities, and potentially high schools. My current focus is on tools for stereo 3D in education, and how we teach effectively with those tools. I have been impressed with Sensavis software since the first time I viewed a demonstration, but following my recent meeting, I found myself nothing less than stunned. In my most recent blog post, “What is eS3D,” I describe five of the key attributes of outstanding 3D educational content, and the Sensavis software masters all five.
I would love to see these resources in high schools around the world. And I would love to be able to demonstrate this content in my presentations, because it leverages what matters about 3D in learning! To help Sensavis on their way, I have offered to help with information about trends, changes, opportunities, and obstacles in the U.S. market and I will connect them with relevant partners, customers and other players when the time comes. My vision is to make the world of teaching and learning a better place, to enable the kind of teaching that fully engages and challenges our 21st century learners. I believe the spread of Sensavis products on the world and U.S. 3D market will indisputably move us in that direction.”
I have seen it all with regards to 3D educational products on the market, and this is the best I have seen. And more importantly, it works the way teachers really want 3D learning to work, based on the end-of-project teacher interviews I conducted following our year-and-a half case study.
