1. FORUM8 Design Festival 2011-3Days



Opening greeting of FORUM8 Design Festival 2011-3Days

Firstly, we would like to express our sincere condolences for all those who have been affected by the devastating earthquake occurred on March 11. We sincerely hope that this area will recover and be reconstructed as soon as possible.
FORUM8 will hold "Design Festival 2011-3Days". We have faced a number of difficulties from the earthquake disaster this year but we have gradually begun to see positive signs in such difficult conditions. Your continuing support and encouragement have been instrumental in that. In "Design Festival 2011", we plan to hold a variety of events like last year. On Day1, "10th 3D VR Simulation contest on cloud" will be held at Tokyo head office, and each award will be selected. From November 8 to 14, the works can be checked via VR-Cloud(TM) with Internet connection, and the public voting will be conducted.
"VR Conference"(12th UC-win/Road Conference, 5th International VR Symposium) will be held on Day2 and "Design Conference" will be held on Day3 at Shinagawa front building.
We have invited many lecturers from home and abroad. In addition, we believe that the members of World16 will provide the presentation on the latest VR research in the International VR Symposium. We are also planning a variety of exciting and fulfilling contents including our new product UC-win/Road Ver.6, VR-Cloud(TM) Ver.2 to be released soon, Analysis support services, 3D engineering services, high-performance computing
on cloud services, 6K cluster digital signage system, the latest driving simulator, and the book launch/networking party. We look forward to making this exciting event a reality and hope that you too are eager to be involved.
Yuji Ito, Representative of FORUM8 Co., Ltd
