Things have been progressing rapidly. After 2.5 years of development on our technology, we will soon be delivering the first product fully based on Logos3D. This product, the ‘Shooter Project’, was developed in collaboration with the CAMeRA department of the VU University of Amsterdam. The Shooter-project will be presented at the CAMeRA Research Day on the 19^th of March, in front of an audience of researchers from all over the VU University.

What is the CAMeRA?

The CAMeRA is a cross-faculty research institution at the VU University of Amsterdam. The CAMeRA (Center for Advanced Media Research Amsterdam), supports research in a variety of fields with cutting-edge multimedia technology. IC3D Media has been a close partner of the CAMeRA, ever since it was founded in 2007. For more information, visit their website at www.camera.vu.nl

On June 25^th, IC3D Media was ranked amongst the top 5 start-ups in the Netherlands of 2008-2009 by New Venture. New Venture is a business plan competition founded by the Dutch government and McKinsey & company to help innovative start-ups.  This year’s New Venture had a record number of entries with  over 400 business ideas and 135 business plans being submitted. These were judged by a large jury consisting of corporate leaders, entrepreneurs and investors. With great entries and fierce competion, we are incredibly honored to be amongst the winners.

At the award-ceremony, Loren gave a short talk about the impact that Logos3D has on the production process of games, and the ability to deliver games quickly via the internet. Judging by the response, what we had to say really resonated with the audience. The event itself was really worthwhile, with many young entrepreneurs who are working on inspiring projects.

On May 28^th, Lund University’s Master of Entrepreneurship program hosted an exhibition to unveil the projects and new ventures of its MSc students. Logos 3D was one of the 16 business start-ups presented there. The exhibition took place in the “Hall of Light” at the Holger Crafoord Economics Center in Lund (Sweden).

At this public exhibition, visitors could get a first glimpse of the Logos3D engine in action. We spent 3 weeks preparing for this presentation. Our tech-demo showed a highly detailed 3D island, created based on our procedural Logos Blocks technology. The response was overwhelmingly positive, especially when we unveiled to the audience that the entire island demo was small enough to fit on one old-fashioned floppy disk!  We have added some screenshots from the demo below…

This month (April 28^th) Logos3D was awarded with the second prize for students in the Venture Cup Contest (Southern Region) in Sweden. The prize was handed out at the Ingvar Kamprad Design Center (IKDC) in Lund. Venture Cup is a business plan competition with the objective of stimulating Entrepreneurship in Sweden. Because I was a student at the Entrepreneurship Programme at Lund University (Southern part of Sweden), we were allowed to enter this contest with our Logos3D project.
