Sales support: Flash 3d, surgical medical media, rich data visualization

Description: Here is part of a sales support email I sent to a knowledge strategy based consultancy, as part of my business development efforts.

It was a followup email with links that we talked about durring the meeting.

comments: this is the virtual knee surgery learning media piece. I think it
really works well for the topic, while being friendly yet professional! The fact
that the main virtual surgery is illustration and animation based, actually goes
a long way of presenting a very sensitive topic in a compelling
way...

flash/model.zip

comments: this is an old example of 3d rendering of a product driven by
interactive user experience ..

comments: have not explored this site fully.. but since part of our
conversations where flythrus etc... here is another interactive 3d environment
in that realm ..

comments: yet another spatial, and interactive visual system in 3d...

comments: This is an RIA that is not in the samples on our site... its
essentially rethinks the standard 'real estate search' paradigm and creates a
more emersive end user experience with it! (you know, they all have drop downs,
and after a few pages, tables and tables of data you have to go thru.. etc..)

comments: you might have seen this simple little RIA, however its a great
example of taking a boring subject such a personal finance and turning it into a
branded useful toy.. hits a few points..

comments: check out the 360 view.. and some of the other interactive product
presentation techniques... again all in flash.. meaning that youre not brokering
to various types of technology and you can build on the framework for future use
... (ie.. throw video in there to extend message, etc..)

comments: some fluffy eye candy.. (with not much 3d interactivity) to show that youre 3d will be as good as your rendering and your models... etc... Flash will just be
the authoring tool..

anyways.. I run into TONS of flash based 3Dish representation systems on a regular basis.. etc...let me know if you need more links
