REDMOND, Wash., and PARIS - Oct. 18, 2007 - Dassault Systemes (DS), a world leader in -D and product life-cycle management (PLM) solutions, and Microsoft Corp. today launched Microsoft Virtual Earth - DVIA (Technology Preview). This free online application, developed by Dassault Systèmes, allows consumers to imagine and create realistic -D models - such as of buildings and structures - then share them through Microsoft Virtual Earth and online communities.

''Virtual Earth - DVIA users will be able to build a world that mixes their future projects and ideas with real-life places, buildings and structures,'' said Lynne Wilson, senior vice president and general manager of DVIA at Dassault Systèmes. ''Through Microsoft's online geographic location mapping technology and our -D modeling and realistic visualization know-how, we have created a new level of realism within Virtual Earth that provides an unrestricted freedom for creativity and innovation.''

Users can download Virtual Earth - DVIA for free and immediately begin using the fun, easy-to-use and intuitive application. Virtual Earth - DVIA allows anyone to do the following with their ideas:

Create. With just a few clicks, users can easily design a -D model of their house, favorite building or any structure, then select from different visualization options, textures and colors to give their -D model a style of its own.

Publish. Users can upload their -D models to Virtual Earth, specifying an address or neighborhood so they can experience the model within a real-life context.

Share. Users can add their -D model to collections, and share it with friends and colleagues through Web communities.

''Our alliance with Dassault Systèmes, a company that has 26 years of technology experience in -D modeling, will help us bring a new level of realism to Virtual Earth,'' said Stephen Lawler, general manager of Virtual Earth at Microsoft. ''Microsoft is committed to delivering the highest-quality product for our Virtual Earth customers, and this enhancement is another step toward fulfilling that commitment.''

Virtual Earth - DVIA is being released as a technology preview to allow community feedback before the next release of the product. More information about Virtual Earth - DVIA is available online at http://maps.live.com/Help/en-us/VE DVIADownload.htm.
