Tietronix Software Offers a Virtual Visit to
NASA’s Johnson Space Center

HOUSTON April 30, 2002 – Tietronix Software, Inc. announced today it has developed an interactive tour of NASA’s Johnson Space Center on CD-ROM. From the Apollo and Skylab projects to today’s Space Shuttle and International Space Station Programs, the Johnson Space Center (JSC) is the heartbeat of human space flight.

The virtual tour is a simple, yet fascinating alternative means of visiting the facility. Users are taken on a ground-based tour from the main concourse on the JSC campus to areas not available to the general public. The CD allows the viewer to observe training mockups of the International Space Station laboratory modules, Space Shuttle training simulators and Mission Control rooms.

Following the events of September 11, 2001, security has become extremely important and many areas, which were available to visit, are no longer open to the general public at JSC. Such virtual tours offer the capability to continue to discover and learn about the entire JSC campus, including restricted areas that a visitor could not visit otherwise.

“The Tietronix 3D Virtual Tour product line, used to develop the JSC virtual tour, provides users with a total immersion experience in a computer-simulated environment allowing viewers to explore the previously unknown, but only imaginable environments,” said Victor Tang, President and CEO, Tietronix.

The JSC Tour CD-ROM will be available to the public via retail outlets that specialize in educational and space-related products, including locations at the JSC in Clear Lake, Texas as well as the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The virtual tour of JSC allows visitors to experience fascinating programs such as:

• Tours of Mission Control rooms
• Spectacular videos and animations sequences
• Interactive tutorials
• Spacecraft mockups
• Audio and written commentaries
• Additional space programs.

The Tietronix 3D Virtual Product can be developed for use in other industries, such as real estate development; construction; emergency and operational facility training; travel and tourism destinations; and commercial and residential real estate sales.

“For example, in the area of construction and real estate development, the virtual tour can be created to provide detailed virtual structures for architects and engineers, and designers can take a virtual walk through the structures letting them head off potential problems before a spade of dirt is overturned or a bolt is fastened,” said Tang. “The product also allows users to visualize structures before they are built, thus potentially resulting in dramatic cost savings.”
