COSMIC BLOBS 3D GRAPHICS SOFTWARE BEGINS RETAIL SALES IN JAPAN.
(Full text of statement. Contact details below.)
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2005--Dassault Systemes (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) today announced that its Cosmic Blobs 3D graphics software for kids is now available for retail sale in Japan.
Cosmic Blobs software is available today in Apple retail stores located in: Aichi, Nagoya Sakae; Tokyo, Ginza and Shibuya; and Osaka, Shinsaibashi. The Apple Company stores will be Cosmic Blobs' exclusive retailers in Japan through the end of the year. Cosmic Blobs software is also available in Apple stores in the U.S. and U.K., and at Apple's online store at www.apple.com.
Cosmic Blobs has experienced remarkable success, including numerous awards from influential sources. For example, Cosmic Blobs has earned "Mom-Tested!" approval from Parenting magazine, a four out of five rating from MacAddict magazine, and four and a half stars from Children's Technology Review. Cosmic Blobs also drew intense interest at The 2005 World Exposition, Aichi, Japan, validating its appeal to the Japanese market.
Initially released for the Macintosh platform in June 2005, Cosmic Blobs gives children ages seven to 14 endless options for sculpting, decorating, and animating 3D computer models called Blobs. Kids start with basic shapes and use an array of tools to bend, pull, stretch, and sculpt their inventions into wildly creative creatures, objects, and vehicles. They can then decorate them with colors, textures, and decals before bringing them to life with animation. Cosmic Blobs has earned "recommended favorite" status at the Apple online store.
"This is our first foray into the Asian retail market, and Japan, which has a highly evolved esthetic sense around drawing and animation, is an ideal place to showcase the creative capabilities of Cosmic Blobs," said Steven DeBenedictis, product manager for Cosmic Blobs. "Apple stores are the perfect opening distribution channel, and we expect Cosmic Blob's success in Japan to mirror the success we've had in the West."
