Why 3-D Technology?

A Case for Understanding More

From its inception, Virtual Finance has been developed with both a business perspective and an academic focus. Developed in conjunction with Filene i3, Members United Corporate FCU and Ohio University, we continue to be in awe of the overwhelming possibilities of this technology.

As we said from the very beginning, 3-D technology is so much more than Second Life, and in fact, our future pursuits will look to capitalize on the explosion of new possibilities. What makes Mo'doh Island, and our current platform so exciting, is the potential these tools demonstrate to truly help modify future behavior and help people to learn through immersive experience.

Very simply, we have a platform that will continue to develop into a perpetual simulation. We offer a multi-dimensional digital media experience that incorporates audio, video and 3-D role playing. Players can seek more information inside the virtual world or branch out to linked outside resources to become better informed and make more confident decisions in the future.
