The future is now
Irvine-based EON Reality seeks to provide virtual solutions to real-world business problems. by Adam Pringle

In the early ’90s, many believed that virtual reality would be the wave of the future. Although mobile devices are in the spotlight, Irvine-based EON Reality is proving that virtual reality can be a powerful business technology.
With a long list of high-profile clients ranging from Boeing to Toyota, EON Reality has become the world’s leading interactive 3-D software provider.
The company produces TouchLight, a transparent touch screen that allows users to examine and interact with 3-D images from all angles. A jet engine, for example, can be examined from the inside, with varying magnification levels and from a variety of angles. TouchLight helps companies save time and money.
Another EON product, Holopodium, projects a lecturer’s image onto a pane of glass attached to a podium, enabling two-way communication between lecturers and audiences in different locations.
EON’s Icube, a multi-sided platform with projected 3-D images, allows goggle-wearing participants to explore a variety of programmed surroundings: the interior of a prototype aircraft or a picturesque Portuguese town, for example.
EON’s latest product, the Universal Information System (EON UIS), transmits 3-D product images to customers. UIS doesn’t quite stun the senses like the Icube, but it promises to simplify and streamline the flow of information from companies to their customers while reducing the cost of interaction by as much as one-third – which is especially crucial in this current economic climate.
These products may represent a step into a brave new world, but for the folks at EON, it’s business as usual.

this would have been cool to show off in Egypt...
