ANNOUNCE: Interactive 3D Documentation Revolution Begins

Doc-U-Motion

Imagine a world where your documentation:

* Transforms sales and marketing presentations into pitches with 
  "WOW" power
* Replaces paper manuals entirely with manuals on laptops or PDAs 
  for service techs and customers
* Guides assemblers and testers in building or setting up a machine
* Gives training traction -- lessons stick long after the classroom
  experience, and can even be incorporated into a manufacturing 
  workstation for reminders any time
* Slashes support costs because customers get more of what they need 
  to know the first time
* Is simpler to use and learn than a 3D modeling and design
  application

Sound like a fantasy? Don't pinch yourself, because you're not dreaming! This world exists right now, and you can accomplish all 
these things and more with Interactive 3D Documentation.

But don't take our word for it. Check out
http://www.techwr-l.com/ct.php?link=www.doc-u-motion.com, your ticket to the I3D world. Here, you'll find articles, an email list to put you
in touch with other I3D designers, and much more!

The revolution has begun.
