The 3DVIA Virtools technology that enables people to virtually explore and participate in Expo Online is extensively used in many scenarios, including product experience, city planning, retail shopping experience, simulation-based training, advertising or even Internet marketing. In fact, 3D lifelike experience technology is already widely used by a broad range of industries including aerospace, automobile, construction, consumer packaged goods and apparel.

Through precise design, simulation and manufacturing of a product in the virtual world prior to its actual production, material waste and energy consumption can be significantly reduced, leading to lower cost and shorter product development time. Bird's Nest, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Stadium and Shanghai World Financial Center, the world's tallest building, are both built using Dassault Systèmes' 3D-based technologies and simulation solutions.

The domain name of World Expo Online is www.expo.cn. The beta version will go live in 2009, and the official launch date of World Expo will be May 1, 2010. More than 200 official participants from around the world and 31 participants from China's domestic provinces and enterprises will take part in Expo Shanghai Online.
