INTERCONNECTS

TGS is proud to announce the signing of a Reseller Agreement with the DDD Group Plc. (“DDD”) that will allow DDD to sell the amira data visualization application in conjunction with their TriDef Visualizer OpenGL software and auto-stereo display technology. The combined solution of amira and TriDef™ Visualizer allows customers with libraries of existing 3D visualization data sets to rapidly take advantage of the new auto-stereo display's capabilities. amira® is TGS’s flagship 3D analysis and visualization application package offering the end-user innovative capabilities to easily and interactively analyze complex 3D data sets. Fast, reliable and easy to use, amira is the state-of-the-art three-dimensional visualization software product offering unparalleled techniques for creating complex data visualization. Included in these techniques are direct volume rendering, iso-surfaces, innovative vector field visualization tools, image segmentation, surface reconstruction, surface simplification, and generation of tetrahedral grids. amira® is the perfect tool for researchers working in confocal microscopy, biology, neuroscience, medical imaging, medical simulation, geosciences, oil & gas, FEM, CFD, and 3D data visualization. amira®, like all of the TGS products, is cross-platform compatible and will run on Windows®, UNIX, IRIX, Solaris, Linux® and 64-bit Linux on the Itanium2™ platform. "The partnership with DDD has the potential to bring glasses-free 3D visualization to the masses," added Steve Lutz, VP of Sales/Marketing for TGS. "Allowing the scientist to immediately see his data in 3D in amira® with the new auto-stereo displays that are hitting the market is a tremendous step in making 3D visualization a common tool in any industry where data visualization is needed." "Using amira® on these new displays, DDD can now offer support to a broad range of popular 3D visualization datasets, allowing us to address a wide variety of prospective business applications and users," said Robert Mannino, VP Visualization Solutions for DDD. " The new auto-stereo displays, like Sharp’s revolutionary new Actius RD3D notebook PC, deliver an affordable desktop solution without the hindrance of wearing 3D glasses."
