Virtual Reality Tech Company Partners With Content Provider On Science Resources
Cyber
Science 3D and Cengage Learning will join forces to produce educational science products for K-12
and higher ed schools and
libraries. The partnership will combine Cyber Science 3D's expertise
with
virtual reality tools and Gale's access to parent company Cengage
Learning's
educational content and resources. Cyber Science 3D will provide the
platform
for Gale's content.
According
to representatives from both companies, the
collection of integrated products will deliver more vivid content that
will
enhance teaching and learning. At the same time, Cengage Learning and
Gale will
provide Cyber Science 3D more access to markets when the first suite of
products is introduced in early 2016.
"We
have been interested in Cyber Science 3D's
unique immersive and interactive software and educational content for
quite
some time," said Gale Vice President of Product Liz Mason. "We are very
pleased
that we will be working with their talented team as we look to expand
our
portfolio of science resources."
Cyber
Science 3D specializes in using modeling,
simulation and visualization technologies to create virtual reality
content.
Cengage Learning's Gale provides educational content to schools and
libraries.
"We
are impressed with Cengage's willingness to
consider new and emerging offerings for integration into their powerful
and
effective product portfolio," said Cyber Science 3D President Tom
Nicknish.
