3DSolve begins developing commercial software using Croquet

3Dsolve, a North Carolina-based technology company, has begun developing commercial educational software using Croquet. Like 3Dsolve, NICT sees Croquet as a communications platform and service, available anytime, anywhere, from any device. Croquet is designed to run on everything, from a PDA through a set-top box. “What we’re doing here is very early work, less research and more development – bringing over our work into Croquet,” said Frank Boosman, chief marketing officer for 3Dsolve. “It’s obvious that Croquet is an excellent vehicle for e-learning, and lends itself extremely well to simulation learning.” Observers say that Croquet will change the way people think about software and computation, from today's device-oriented perspective to a perspective of computation as a persistent, pervasive service.
