For instance as part of my New York State Industrial HPCC outreach program InfoMall, I found that a major manufacturer of large consumer machines had no interest in MPP's for simulating them to improve design
However very interested in
  • Storing product information in a Web Interfaced databases

Java enables down-loaded simulations
VRML enables universal definition of 3D objects -- products and buildings
