Altering realities, 3 Degrees at a time

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, November 29, 2022/APO Group/ — 

Imagine a world where shopping was like playing your favourite video game. An immersive and exciting experience that transports you into a beautiful, interactive world where you could try on clothes, discover new products, and get a feel for what you’re buying before having to commit to anything. You would be able to move around freely, explore different options, and make decisions based on what you actually want, rather than having to deal with pushy salespeople. And best of all, you would get rewards for making purchases, which you could use to buy more products or save up for something special. It would be a fun, stress-free way to shop, and it would completely alter consumer behaviour.

Thanks to the visionary minds at 3 Degrees Tech http://3DegreesTech.com/, this is now a reality which global brands are gradually adopting. The proudly South African company founded in 2017 by futurist developers, Elmen Lamprecht and Yakeen Sadiq seek to facilitate this movement of brands into the 3D digital space. 

As innovative as the virtual e-commerce experience may be, their ambitions reach even further with their sights set keenly on developing 3D LMS (Learning Management System) platforms that heighten the user’s engagement and learning experience. The Covid19 pandemic with its various social restrictions led to a surge in digital innovation for the company which further motivated the need for remote schooling, company training, administration and management. Leading universities within South Africa have already begun implementing these revolutionary systems to students within their educational environment creating an open channel of communication between students and the various faculties in a manner that not only enhances the learning experience but can also be effectively analysed and reported on. In just the US alone, the LMS market is expected to grow from $9.2 billion in 2018 to $22.4 billion in 2023.

Digital technology is advancing at a rapid pace and many organizations globally were far from prepared in adopting and optimally utilizing these new tools

“Digital technology is advancing at a rapid pace and many organizations globally were far from prepared in adopting and optimally utilizing these new tools that would seek to benefit these brands, internally as well as from a consumer centric perspective”, says Elmen. Today, 3DT provides leading solutions with evolutionary opportunities for organizations to gain access to 3D gamified experiences that elevate brand sentiment and increase consumer sales and engagement.

Apart from these innovative products currently being developed by 3 Degrees Tech an expanded offering into virtual meeting rooms, virtual events, metaverses and 3D websites began to emerge providing both the end consumer and global organisations an opportunity to virtually interact beyond social restrictions leading to an increase in online digital user presence.  

As Yakeen so aptly puts it, “we believe in the POWER OF EXPERIENCES. Inspirational experiences engage the MIND and the HEART, unlocking human potential in the form of PERSONAL engagement. We create interactive, magical customer & employee experiences with plans to not only change the landscape from 2D to 3D but also impact our economy with job creation as well as adult and junior academies teaching digital skills”.

“We help organizations evolve into the new normal, a 3D based environment with endless possibilities!”

 3 Degrees Tech now offers 3D inspirational and game-based experiences in the following verticals:

  • Gamified HR Processes
  • Game Based Learning 
  • Sales & Marketing 
  • Events & Meetings 
  • Metaverses

ZHUHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 August 2026 – The 100-day Countdown to the 16th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China 2026) was launched on August 28 in Zhuhai, Guangdong. Scheduled for December 7-13 this year, Airshow China 2026 will mark for the official start of its 100-day countdown on August 29.

A commemorative logo marking the 30th anniversary of Airshow China was unveiled at the event. The logo features a three-dimensional, gold-toned “30” as its visual symbol, incorporating tech-inspired aviation and advanced manufacturing elements, complemented by gradient ribbons in blue, purple and magenta. Founded in 1996, Airshow China is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
“Over the past three decades,” said Li Xiaodong, Deputy Secretary-General of the People’s Government of Zhuhai Municipality and Deputy Secretary-General of the Zhuhai Executive Committee of Airshow China, in his remarks at the event, “Airshow China has grown increasingly international, professional and market-oriented, establishing itself as one of the world’s premier airshows. In 2026, Airshow China will continue to benchmark itself against world-class exhibitions and contribute to the development of aviation industry clusters.”
 




 

During the World Airshow Dialogue session, aviation industry representatives from home and abroad delved into topics on global industrial-chain coordination, green aviation, the low-altitude economy (also known as advanced air mobility), aircraft engines aftermarket services, and the development of the general aviation industry.

Representatives from peer event organizer International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS) and major aviation players including Boeing delivered video remarks extending greetings and sharing insights. They voiced anticipation for returning to the upcoming Airshow China with state-of-the-art products and services to foster deeper-going industrial exchanges.

At the subsequent round-table dialogue session, Dai Haibin, spokesperson for AVIC General Aircraft Company, noted that Airshow China has served as an excellent platform for debuting key aircraft and other equipment, among them the AG600 “Kunlong” amphibious aircraft.

Xu Shixin, Chief Operating Officer of Embraer China, observed that the Chinese market boasts huge potential and a well-developed industrial system, unlocking broad opportunities for cooperation in areas such as green aviation and the low-altitude economy. Drawing on its accumulated technological expertise, Embraer stands ready for deeper collaboration on eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft development and the building of a low-altitude transportation ecosystem.

At the event, Zhuhai Airshow International Culture Communication Co., Ltd. inked IP merchandise cooperation agreements with Beijing Institute of Technology, Zhuhai; Alipay (Hangzhou) Digital Service Technology Co., Ltd, and Truly HONEST Investment Limited, among other partners. The cooperation covers product development integrating traditional culture with aerospace technology, AI-powered digital commemorative ticket stubs enabled by NFC technology, and derivative products based on sci-fi intellectual properties.

The number of participating countries and regions has jumped from 25 to 47, cementing Airshow China’s status as one of the world’s most influential aviation and aerospace exhibitions.
