(November 8, 1999). 3D ShopFactory is based on the multi award winning ShopFactory and will be released during the Comdex in Las Vegas in November.

"The more e-commerce sites go online, the more important it becomes to differentiate yourself from the competition. 3D ShopFactory makes this possible for the first time for small to medium sized companies," said Steffan Klein, CEO of 3D3.COM Pty Ltd.

Shops created with 3D ShopFactory allow customers to explore products in a virtual three-dimensional environment - creating a powerful shopping experience.

By combining its own 3D technologies with cutting edge solutions developed by 3D technology leaders such as Blaxxun Interactive, Shout and Geometrek 3D Solutions, 3D3.COM can offer 3D shopping experiences over the Net at current modem speeds.

Less adventurous merchants can still profit from 3D on their websites. 3D3.COM has created an environment in which products can be shown on normal web pages as 3D models, providing full user interaction, or as interactive animated product images, which allow viewing a product from all sides or in action.

"By developing our own technology and interfacing it with leading edge solutions by other companies, we can provide the full scope of 3D applications to users of 3D ShopFactory, providing realistic applications for 3D in today's business environment," said Steffan Klein.

3D3.COM is based on the same point and click ease of use as the award winning ShopFactory, making 3D integration accessible to virtually any user. The basic version creates 3D environments in which products can be demonstrated. 3D-Add-ons provide additional functionalities, such as a 3D product viewer developed by 3D3, which allows viewing products from all sides.

"3D is widely regarded as the future of e-commerce on the Internet. With 3D ShopFactory shopping cart software this future is here, now," Steffan Klein said.
