Consumers can shape and share ideas in 3-D in Virtual Earth.

Dassault Systemes (DS), a world leader in 3-D and product life-cycle management (PLM) solutions, and Microsoft Corp. today launched Microsoft Virtual Earth-3DVIA (Technology Preview). This free online application, developed by Dassault Systemes, allows consumers to imagine and create realistic 3-D models — such as of buildings and structures — then share them through Microsoft Virtual Earth and online communities.

Users can download Virtual Earth -3DVIA for free and immediately begin
using the fun, easy-to-use and intuitive application. Virtual Earth -3DVIA
allows anyone to do the following with their ideas:

• Create. With just a few clicks, users can easily design a 3-D model of their house, favorite building or any structure, then select from different visualization options, textures and colors to give their 3-D model a style of its own.
• Publish. Users can upload their 3-D models to Virtual Earth, specifying an address or neighborhood so they can experience the model within a real-life context.
• Share. Users can add their 3-D model to collections, and share it with friends and colleagues through Web communities.

Virtual Earth -3DVIA is being released as a technology preview to allow
community feedback before the next release of the product. More information about Virtual Earth -3DVIA is available online at
