Dione is an authoring environment for the creation of interactive scenes. It's based on X3D, which is the web standard for three dimensional objects, according to ISO/IEC CD19775. Its internal configuration allows Dione to visualize even most complex functional principles with high performance. These can also be scaled according to your requirements. The high number of already created interfaces enables Dione to be integrated in existing processes.

The user interface of Dione follows a simple principle:

All objects, materials and lighting, together with their functionalities, are represented in standardized nodes as in general 3D Scenography (visualisation of objects in 3 dimensions). These nodes are managed in the scene-graph "Cassini" and the route editor. This ensures a clearly structured operation which is used consistently throughout all applications.

Dione not only visualises your virtual products as an image but also simulates their functionality - in realtime. It supports the user with many integrated and free programmable functions, materials and shaders.

Assemblies can be created as independent modules and combined into products with all their functions. The number of assembly levels can be chosen freely. Once created, the assemblies can also be used for consecutive or sequential product developments. In this way, you generate libraries of objects and functions with Dione. As a matter of course, these are individually customizable.

Using a variety of predefined functions, you can rapidly model a highly detailed product. You generate an interactive simulation in the twinkling of an eye! This functional visualization supports your analysis of the desired functions of your product. Possible failures can be detected before they cause problems. The engine visualizes changes in real-time.

You can use visualizations of virtual products with Dione throughout the entire development process. In essence: working with Dione is comprehensive and integrated. From the first concept to layout, production planning and manufacturing you can approve a new product with its own functional representation. 

When modelling dynamic systems, processes have to be time based and able to be shown in parallel. The real-time engine of Dione offers both. Furthermore it enables the user to manipulate running processes in an event orientated manner.

Modern applications require team work on a project between different places and times. Due to Dione's modular structure, you can display objects synchronously and simultaneously, over shared networks and online services.
