MEPAS is The Multimedia Environmental Pollution Assessment System.
When Battelle Pacific Northwest Labs needed to streamline and enhance their courses and presentation they came to Picture This. The animation to the left is a miniaturized example of the kind of course support that we can bring to bear on "in classroom" instruction distance learning or CD Rom based interactive instruction. Whatever your need to communicate, across the room or across multiple languages, you can do it better with well planned and executed "non literate" communications in the form of simulations/animations/video/flat graphics.

When The Prudential needed a multimedia litigation database after a tragic and costly building fire in downtown Philadelphia, their partner Enos and Associates called on Picture This to create, on a single CD disk, a relationally linked document including thousands of photographs and pages of documentation. With a user friendly push button interface the user could browse the records, in a relational manner, so that relevent facts could be reviewed in common. Each room was full of material to be accounted for. We designed an original layout for the document. We used an altered floor plan as the point and click entrance to inventories and photographs of each room. In addition a database that contained a robust indexed search engine was included for linking up to the mountains of paper documents. Each OCR record of a document was also linked to a scan of the original document where a future user could search for marginalia or merely ascertain the accuracy of the text file record of the document.

Whether winning a bid to create the training modules for California's Social Service Personel or explaining new technologies as they go to market for Oak Ridge Laboratories and the Department of Energy, (in partnership with private firms like Phillips and Carrier) Picture This remains an invaluable resource in creating the kind of images and interactive flow that engage and enlighten the viewer.
