Welcome to Daden Limited

Our focus is on virtual worlds, and virtual personalities, helping you to communicate and engage with your audience using some of the most interesting technologies around today. We offer 4 main services:

		Involve - Design, Build and Meet Almost any project in a virtual world requires the design and build of a virtual space. We have an experienced team who can produce stunning virtual spaces based either on real-world buildings, or completely imagined ideas. Our Daden Cays virtual innovation park provides ready-to-go spaces for organisations who just want to dip their toes in the virtual water, whilst our client projects have included multi-street builds and single structures up to 250m in size. Our Annotated Spaces system lets you gather client and public feedback on new real-world builds. And with the increasing financial, environmental, business and social costs of business travel virtual worlds can offer new ways to reduce the costs (and increase the effectiveness) of exhibitions, conferences, workshops and meetings. So whether you need space for marketing, training, meetings, conferencing or other uses, we can help you make the most of the virtual space.Read more about our Design and Build solutions, avatar conferencing and collaboration solutions.
		Integrate - Integration and Visualisation Virtual worlds offer the ideal space in which to visualise data and information. The unique perspective that virtual worlds bring over existing visualisation techniques is an immersive and social one. With virtual worlds you can not only stand inside and explore the data but you can also meet and discuss the visualisation with others - whilst still inside. Daden's unique expertise allows you to integrate real, web and virtual world data and systems, and our Datascape virtual war-room is one of the most advanced visualisation spaces in a public virtual world. So if you need to understand your data in new ways, virtual worlds can help you gain new insight, and reduce meeting costs whilst doing so.Read more about our Visualisation solutions.
		Interact - Chatbots and Virtual Personalities Our chatbot and AI technology can be used on the web and in virtual worlds - and even from some mobile phones. At its simplest our chatbots can help reduce the load on your call centre, handing basic queries and flagging difficult questions up to human staff. In virtual worlds our bots can control avatars which are visibly indistinguishable from human controlled avatars - making them ideal for a variety of uses from customer service and training & education, to eDrama, mentoring and coaching. Read more about our Chatbot solutions.
		Instruct - Training and Education We are working with almost a dozen education and training organisations from the public (HE, FE, Secondary) and private sector (in-house and external) to help them use virtual worlds and characters to deliver a better education and training experience to their students and staff. Virtual learning can help you deliver training that would not be cost effective in the real world and is especially powerful with distributed learners. A key component of our work is the PIVOTE virtual learning authoring system which lets you create a learning exercise and then play it in multiple virtual worlds and on the web. Read more about our Training and Education solutions.

Whilst the majority of our activity on the web and in helping organisations to participate in the Second Life virtual world, we also have over 10 years experience of a wide variety of different virtual worlds, and an eye for where this is all going.
