Louisville firm completes projects in the Second Life; Virtual World for Loyola Marymount University/LA, George Mason University and Operation: Kid Equip.

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) November 11, 2008 -- Pulse Point Marketing, LLC helped establish virtual locations for clients, Loyola Marymount University/LA for the Psychological Research on Synthetic Environments (PROSE) Project; The Center for the Study of Neuroeconomics at George Mason University; and Operation: Kid Equip, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit program based in Royal Oak, MI.

From our inception, Operation: Kid Equip has identified the best social networking and marketing mediums available

"Pulse Point Marketing created a state-of-the-art presence for Loyola Marymount University in the emerging 3D Internet. With its virtual campus in place, LMU now has a global reach in teaching, research, and conferencing that enables it to compete favorably even with larger, more heavily endowed institutions. I couldn't be happier with both the process and outcome of our collaboration with Pulse Point Marketing," stated Richard L. Gilbert, Professor and Assistant Chair, Department of Psychology, Loyola Marymount University/LA.

Through Pulse Point Marketing's virtual development division within Second Life, Soul Creations Design and Building, the projects were created utilizing teams consisting of over a dozen freelance 3D designers, graphic artists, animators and programmers located throughout the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Soul Creations Design and Building's teams develop projects according to unique, customized client specifications on a simulator (sim) utilizing the virtual world's 3D modeling platform.

According to Dana E. Hall (SL name: Dante Honi), president of Soul Creations Design and Building, "Increasingly, the medium is being explored by educators, businesses and non-profit organizations seeking to expand their reach on a more global basis without incurring costly capital equipment or travel expenditures. Many of our clients foresee online virtual worlds as becoming the website platform of the future."

He further explained, "If you think about being able to communicate real-time with people all over the world, to be able to collaboratively talk about ideas and demonstrate visual information in a multi-dimensional manner, the possibilities are endless."

Other Soul Creations Design and Building clients utilize the Second Life world for a variety of purposes. For example, The Center for the Study of Neuroeconomics at George Mason University has developed an economic behavioral research project. Operation: Kid Equip is a Michigan-based program of Congressional District Programs, Inc., a 501(c)(3) public charity. The mission of Operation: Kid Equip is to serve the educational needs of children by providing free school supply kits to students from low-income families in southeastern Michigan, and parts of the United States.

"From our inception, Operation: Kid Equip has identified the best social networking and marketing mediums available," said Menachem Kniespeck, co-founder of the program. "Our incredible relationship with Pulse Point Marketing and Soul Creations have made our program awareness and supporter acquisition efforts in Second Life quite a success... and less costly than other traditional methods."
