ModestTree, a Halifax startup whose software allows users to develop their own 3D training programs, issued the following press release on Thursday:
CANADIAN MILITARY NOW USING MODEST 3D TO BUILD 3D TRAINING
(Halifax, ON) March 20, 2014– Modest Tree’s 3D interactive training product, Modest3D, will be used by the Canadian military to enhance their training. The Canadian Defence Academy has purchased licenses of Modest3D and together with the Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force, they will be using the software to create 3D content and evaluating the potential for DND wide application on their Defence Learning Network.
The Canadian military expects great success with Modest3D as it is a 3D content development suite that enables users to create interactive lessons using 3D models, without needing programming or animation expertise. Modest3D empowers subject matter experts and instructional designers to create interactive 3D lessons.
Modest Tree demonstrated the capabilities of Modest3D at the National Defence Advanced Learning Technologies working group at the end of February. After the demonstration the attendees were free to experience the power of the suite on their own and in no time members of the group, most with no programming or animation expertise, were building interactive 3D content. Mr. Bill Railer, Senior Staff Officer of Learning Technologies for the Canadian Defence Academy, was so impressed by the power of Modest3D technology that he stated “Modest3D appears to not only provide DND with state of the art Learning content but if done properly it will result in cost savings, increased production rates and provide a substantial impact towards training modernization.”
“We are excited to be working closely with the Canadian military” said CEO Saman Sannandeji. “Our team has worked extremely hard to build a first rate product and their efforts are validated when we see this kind of overwhelming response to our product.”
