Cube3 released a new virtual office system designed for corporate entities that want a virtual web3d office presence on the Internet, but who require it to be simple to use and access while complementing their existing website’s design. The C3 OfficePodz are a group of customizable 3D spaces that offer the most common activities and features that corporate users have requested for using virtual worlds online. C3 OfficePodz offer a basic showroom/ conference room/ seminar modular space, a more specialized video theater modular space, and an auditorium/stadium outside space for larger group meetings and seminars.

The OfficePodz systems are designed for simple graphic/content/video customization by Cube3 for each client and can also host a complete set of customizable exhibition/corporate furniture to expand the system’s usefulness. Each OfficePodz can also be linked together to form a larger single Virtual Office World if it suits a client's needs.

"Many Virtual Spaces or Worlds online are either very expensive projects in closed platform low corporate usage worlds, or visually designed as "2D cartoon-like games" and are not appropriate for corporate commercial usage in a real business environment." stated Cube3's Larry Rosenthal. "The C3 OfficePodz are designed specifically in a clean professional modern style that once customized with graphics and client specific content, can provide the easiest to access, greatest reach solution, to virtual worlds for business website’s online."

The technology that offers the OfficePodz a no plug-in, multi browser-platform capability is "3DXplorer " created by Cube3 partner Altadyn. This web3d platform is one of the firsts to offer true real time 3D with Multi-user Avatars on both Macs and PC's. It also work’s in almost any web browser due to its use of a Java based technology that can offer a true mass audience reach for any client using the Officepodz on the Internet. Easy to set up and host, the Officepodz can integrate with an existing traditional client website and with the use of web based standards, can also be linked to more complex virtual world platforms like Second Life if required.

The basic OfficePodz Modules with Client Customizations and set up can be licensed starting at around $10,000 USD a year. More advanced "Meeting Packages" are available with features like invitations, record keeping and shared screen control for presentations.

Cube3, led by Larry Rosenthal, has been creating online 3D virtual worlds and projects for the corporate, consumer and entertainment markets for over 15 years. It's founders created the NYVRMLSIG and SFWEB3D groups that introduced thousand of designers to immersive 3D design and virtual world concepts. Cube3 provides full service consulting and production in all aspects of virtual world design for projects that take place not only in Second Life, but in almost every web3d technology available today including Activeworlds, IMVU, Blaxxun, X3D-Vivaty, Unity3D, game engines and Ajax3D. A creator of original content, Cube3 produced and licensed the first web3D /MMO/digital content sales site, "Starbase C3" to AOL in 1997. In 2006, StarbaseC3 'invaded' Second Life and offered the first 3D printed real life products sold from a "virtual world". StarbaseC3 later grew in Second Life into a renewed active game community. Cube3 clients over the years have included Sony, CBS, Fox, Mtv, Ubisoft, and Paramount. In 1996 Cube3 created the prophetic seminar series called "Places not Pages - the future of the WWW." These seminar’s opened the doors to the ideas about virtual worlds on the internet that are being walked through today by many in worlds like Linden Lab's Second Life, Sony's HOME, and now Google with their recent entrance into the web3d market.
