Building on the success of DELL's Learning and Development Framework, which has been live for over a year now serving 80'000 employees worldwide, MMID is currently expanding the system to support DELL's latest models. An innovative organic animated menu structure contrasting with the now famous 3D 1-click menu developed by MMID is complementing the system to give access to DELL's ever growing resources in an intuitive manner.

 
 

"A revolutionary multimedia experience illustrating the life and times of the founder of the GAA has been launched at the Michael Cusack Centre in Carron, Co. Clare. A unique mid-air holographic projection, never seen before in Ireland, features a floating ghost-like image of Cusack who greets visitors to the nineteenth century Burren cottage" Reads an article in Saturday's Examiner introducing the new multimedia 'Cusack Experience' launched last Friday by Dr. Martin Mansergh, TD, Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works and the Arts - marking the latest phase in a EUR 1.2 million project which has seen the restoration of the Cusack family cottage and the development of a new Visitor Centre.

"Although it is a 19th century cottage set in a superbly beautiful Burren landscape, we came down in favour of a 21st century solution for a new generation. We enlisted the services of Multimedia Instructional Design from Waterford who have produced a hi-tech presentation that already has enthralled those who have seen it. They have created a bit of magic" Commented Martin O'Loghlen - Chairman of the Michael Cusack Centre in an Irish Times article.

CPD College, MMID's on-line college, is rapidly establishing itself as a leader in on-line education for professionals. The current summer courses offering for Primary Teachers is proving to be an outstanding success. The interactive nature of the courses provides teachers with a convenient way to study from home at their own pace.

 
 

MMID used HoloPro's patented Holographic Projection Screen technology to bring Michael Cusack to life in the Classroom part of the Michael Cusack Centre in Co. Clare. A special photographic film is illuminated with a laser beam and a single hologram, also called a holographic optical element (HOE), is formed. A HoloPro screen consists of many thousands of such HOEs and none is identical with any other on the screen. Though they all look alike, each one of them contains different information, namely from which angle the light is redirected to the viewer. Consequently, the light of the projector is optimally redirected from many thousands of spots. This is the first time this technology has been used in a visitor centre in Ireland and the result is simply stunning.

HoloPro also offers an interactive version of the technology transforming this amazing transparent screen into a giant touch-screen making it ideal for information points in a wide area of applications.
