Subject: Top Calibre Exhibitors Endorse Acorn World (Acorn Press Release)
Date: 17 Sep 93 15:56:21 GMT
Top Calibre Exhibitors Endorse Acorn World '93
Release Date 17th September 1993
As the final countdown to Acorn World '93 gets underway, the number
and variety of exhibitors committed to the show continue to impress.
Besides big names such as Kodak, Psion and The Science Museum, TV
companies and leading educational and business software specialists
have also taken stands.
Anglia Television's Media Development Unit, for example, will be
demonstrating a variety of its CD ROMs. 'Understanding The Body'
enables the user to learn how the human body works via interactive
lessons and worksheets which use scanned images, video and
animations. 'Nineteenth Century Biographies' contains information on
famous people from that century and 'Castles' provides information on
castles in the UK. Users can take part in a mock tour of the castle,
learning about their construction and what it was like to live there.
In addition, Academy Television has elected to launch a new range of
educational software on CD ROMs at the show, produced in conjunction
with Interactive Learning Productions and Yorkshire Television. New
titles include 'Science Series 1: The Elements', an interactive
multimedia system covering the periodic table and atomic structure;
and 'Environment Series 1: Water', which provides information on vital
environmental issues. Visitors to the stand will also have the
opportunity to win a CD ROM package of their choice in a daily
competition.
Clares Micro Supplies will be giving the first public demonstration of
its two recently launched software packages, ProArtisan 2 and
Rhapsody 3, at Acorn World. ProArtisan 2 is an art and painting
package designed specifically for the Acorn range of computers.
Rhapsody 3 enables musical scores to be created without the need for
pen and paper.
Other exhibitors at the show include Pen and Think, which provides
educational software to support the national curriculum; Rheingold
Enterprises, which will be demonstrating its Vigil multitasking
program debugger for the first time; and Colton Software. Colton will
be showing its Wordz word processing software, Resultz spreadsheet,
and Fireworkz, which combines the functionality of Wordz and Resultz
into a powerful integrated solution for the home, business and
education markets.
With the theme 'Vision for the Future', Acorn World '93 is set to be
the largest ever showcase for Acorn products and services worldwide.
Taking place at Wembley from 29 - 31 October 1993, the exhibition
will have a futuristic theme and includes a series of dedicated
feature areas. These will offer a glimpse of technological innovation
in the education, publishing, professional services and home business
sectors. A high level theatre programme will accompany the
exhibition, at which industry experts will give their views on a
range of business and technical, educational and leisure topics.
