In his new position, Fluegeman assumes responsibility for the company's internal business processes, from specifications to fulfillment and customer support.
"EON has achieved tremendous growth in 2007 and we are preparing for even greater expansion in 2008," said Mats Johansson, chief executive officer, EON Reality. "Dave has extensive experience in the virtual reality and simulation markets, from developing and implementing business processes to systems integration. He brings the knowledge and skill necessary to successfully accomplish our objectives."
Prior to joining EON Reality, Fluegeman led Christie Digital Systems' Visual Environments division since its inception in June 2004. In this role, he brought a strong industry presence that included a keen understanding for developing strategic relationships, working with partners and introducing new products and services to the market. He worked closely with global corporations, such as Boeing, BP, Lockheed-Martin, Rockwell Collins, Samsung and Walt Disney Company, developing and sustaining strong business relationships.
In addition, Fluegeman held senior management positions at Evans & Sutherland (E&S), a world leader in 3D visual systems for simulation and training markets.

He also held key positions with Megahertz, Proxima Corporation and US Robotics.
"We live in a content-driven world, and EON Reality is uniquely positioned to pioneer and define how our customers use virtual reality, simulation-based learning and the Internet to experience more," said Fluegeman. "My experience in fostering relationships, as well as managing internal processes, will complement EON's already-strong infrastructure."
