VIRTOOLS™ highlights its Behavioral Server capabilities with the "VBL Music Website"

VIRTOOLS™, market leader in the world of interactive 3D development solutions, showcases its Behavioral Server capabilities in a new proof-of-concept demo: the "VBL Music Website." The e-marketing website demonstrates behavioral web3D at its best, both effective and eye-catching.

The website brought to you by ersatz record label "VBL Music" offers a concrete example of how the Virtools Behavioral Server can be put to work to create media-rich content for eye-catching 3D websites, with interactive behaviors that evolve over time and keep users coming back for more.

Anticipating client needs, Virtools' in-house development studio offers two versions of the application: "VBL Music Light" for a quick glance at the functionalities made possible by Virtools' server technology, and the complete "VBL Music" which gives a step-by-step tour of both adaptive user experience and full back office management.

VBL Music Light demonstrates how database management dynamically modifies user experience on the fly, catering both interface and media to user preferences. The full VBL Music demo was designed with an avatar to lead you step-by-step through a more complete range of functionalities, including user behavior analysis to pilot content and media, flowing adaptation to seamlessly present new interactive modules without interrupting the overall flow of content, and comprehensive back office management.

About Virtools™ Behavioral Server 1.1

The Virtools™ Behavioral Server bring truly interactive 3D applications to the Web, for exceptional 3D games, e-learning, e-commerce product previews, or architectural walkthroughs. The Virtools™ Behavioral Server is a natural addition to the Virtool's development platform Virtools™ Dev 2.1, and the first server solution to add an interactive third dimension to the Internet.

The Virtools Behavioral Server dynamically sends or 'serves' content via the Internet in response to the user's actions. The architecture of a Virtools Server allows it to adapt the 3D content - in real time and according to choices made by the user - in order to deliver a top notch game-like experience. Following the classic client/server structure, a Virtools Server is able to provide adaptive 3D applications by drawing from and adding to information systems that a company already has in place.

The ability to send content progressively to a user - in a way similar to streaming video on the web - and according to user interaction, makes the Virtools Behavioral Sever a powerful customization tool. Virtools' proven development tools and solutions reduce costs, development and deployment time, and thus lower the risks inherent in high level IT projects.
