Top Calibre Exhibitors Endorse Acorn World '93 Release Date 17th September 1993 As the final countdown to Acorn World '93 gets underway, the number and variety of exhibitors committed to the show continue to impress. Besides big names such as Kodak, Psion and The Science Museum, TV companies and leading educational and business software specialists have also taken stands. Anglia Television's Media Development Unit, for example, will be demonstrating a variety of its CD ROMs. 'Understanding The Body' enables the user to learn how the human body works via interactive lessons and worksheets which use scanned images, video and animations. 'Nineteenth Century Biographies' contains information on famous people from that century and 'Castles' provides information on castles in the UK. Users can take part in a mock tour of the castle, learning about their construction and what it was like to live there. In addition, Academy Television has elected to launch a new range of educational software on CD ROMs at the show, produced in conjunction with Interactive Learning Productions and Yorkshire Television. New titles include 'Science Series 1: The Elements', an interactive multimedia system covering the periodic table and atomic structure; and 'Environment Series 1: Water', which provides information on vital environmental issues. Visitors to the stand will also have the opportunity to win a CD ROM package of their choice in a daily competition. Clares Micro Supplies will be giving the first public demonstration of its two recently launched software packages, ProArtisan 2 and Rhapsody 3, at Acorn World. ProArtisan 2 is an art and painting package designed specifically for the Acorn range of computers. Rhapsody 3 enables musical scores to be created without the need for pen and paper. Other exhibitors at the show include Pen and Think, which provides educational software to support the national curriculum; Rheingold Enterprises, which will be demonstrating its Vigil multitasking program debugger for the first time; and Colton Software. Colton will be showing its Wordz word processing software, Resultz spreadsheet, and Fireworkz, which combines the functionality of Wordz and Resultz into a powerful integrated solution for the home, business and education markets. With the theme 'Vision for the Future', Acorn World '93 is set to be the largest ever showcase for Acorn products and services worldwide. Taking place at Wembley from 29 - 31 October 1993, the exhibition will have a futuristic theme and includes a series of dedicated feature areas. These will offer a glimpse of technological innovation in the education, publishing, professional services and home business sectors. A high level theatre programme will accompany the exhibition, at which industry experts will give their views on a range of business and technical, educational and leisure topics.
