Orad Hi-Tec Systems, a world leader in scalable high performance image generators in the field of visual simulation and TV production technology, and Fakespace Systems, Inc., a leading provider of large scale 3D visualization solutions, announced an agreement allowing Fakespace Systems to provide Orad DVG high performance image generators to their customer base worldwide. Further, ORAD systems are now supported by Fakespace’s Conduit software. Conduit is an exclusive Fakespace technology that enables Virtual Reality (VR) interaction features in software applications that do not have “native” support for clustering or for immersive viewing. With Conduit, multi-mode computing platforms such as the Orad DVG can support VR interaction features such as stereoscopic imaging, motion tracking and immersive viewing in environments such as the multi-wall CAVE®. Fakespace recently announced Conduit for Dassault Systemes V5 PLM applications. With over 600 installations throughout the world, Fakespace Systems is the leader in the development and deployment of interactive and immersive advanced visualization environments. Fakespace’s experience with consulting and all elements of visualization solutions allows them to specify best of breed components essential to meeting customer needs and expectations. “Having Fakespace Systems join the growing worldwide family of DVG 3D Graphics Cluster resellers, brings their unparalleled experience in visualization integration to organizations desiring smooth seamless integration of the latest 3D scalable graphics technology,” said Stu Taylor Vice President US Vis-Sim Sales for Orad, Inc. “Fakespace’s knowledge and experience in delivering quality visualization solutions to their customer allows them to select an Orad solution with confidence.” “The trend toward cluster-based visual computing is gaining momentum,” said Jeff Brum, Director of Marketing for Fakespace Systems. “We encounter a wide range of requirements, from fairly standard to highly customized solutions.
