HONOLULU, HAWAII - Atlantis Cyberspace, Inc. (ACI) will preview the latest hightech virtual-reality training technology designed for military and security personnel today at 934 Pumehana Street, Honolulu, Hawaii.

This technology allows soldiers, swat teams, police, firemen, security personnel and really anyone to train … on the ground in a multi-user immersive virtual reality environment. It is particularly useful in highly complex urban settings.

ACI, a world leader in virtual training simulation systems, is scheduled to deliver its state-of-the-art system, called the Immersive Group Simulator™ (IGS™), to the 29th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the Hawaii National Guard in February.

Atlantis Cyberspace is a high tech company that benefited from Act 221, Hawaii’s high technology investment tax credit. Founded in 1999, ACI raised more than $8 million through Act 221 and is now the world's leading developer of training simulation systems.

The delivery of the ACI IGS™ system to Hawaii Army National Guard will be the first deployment to the U.S. military. The system is already in use by Canadian Forces to better train troops, increase mission effectiveness and save lives.

Both Hawaii Angel members and Kolohala have invested in ACI for several years as the company met growth targets and began working with clients. Rob Robinson, director of Hawaii Angels and managing partner of Kolohala Venture Fund, says: "ACI is a stellar example of an Act 221 company doing breakthrough research and development resulting in technological advancements with profound potential."

ACI's partner on this program is Akimeka, LLC, which served as contract prime and provided the contract vehicle and local operations support.

Laurent Scalie is the CEO of Atlantis Cyberspace, Inc., a recognized leader in virtual reality training simulations, particularly in dismounted, highly complex urban environments. For more information contact her at l.scallie@aci-sim.com
