PRESS RELEASE

Visual Purple Launches Virtual World Demo
Winning in Wireless: Virtual World

San Luis Obispo, CA –April 8, 2009 – Visual Purple LLC, a leader in advanced simulations in collaboration with BTS, the world leader in customized business simulations and other discovery-based learning solutions, today announced the launch of Winning in Wireless: Virtual World Demo.

Taken from an existing CBT and translated into a virtual world simulation environment, Winning in Wireless Demo offers the user a demonstration designed to show the value and abilities of using a Virtual World environment to create a complex and in-depth training platform that teaches team members key concepts and increases retention of several distinct Key Learning Objectives.

Instead of being lashed to a virtual desk with the world pushed on your shoulders in a traditional CBT, the Winning in Wireless Demo experience becomes one of freedom and exploration navigating an intelligent landscape of Non-Player Characters (NPCs), your team of senior executives, as you play the role of a freshly-minted CEO with a rapidly approaching board presentation. A presentation requiring planning, research and “what if’s” in order to successfully gin up a bullet-proof go-to-market plan. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about people and decisions.
