From: "Jorge Gon\galves" Subject: ANNOUNCE: 32 bit VIRTUAL REALITY on PC's for FREE! Date: 10 Jan 1996 11:42:24 GMT Organization: World-Net information exchange, Internet provider. ********************************************************************** Convert Architectural 3DS&DXF Data into Virtual Reality for FREE!!!! ********************************************************************** Simulis is going to launch next month its new software called "VirtualSpace" for PC's Some kind of Multigen in SGI WorkStations but running under PC's. We're looking for Some good databases (3ds and DXF - of course 3ds is better!) If you're interested in it you can take contact with Simulis at: Simulis VR Systems in France Tel: +33-1-30 76 53 53 Fax: +33-1-30 76 42 05 E-mail: simulis@worldnet.net We'll tell you how to transmit your database. You will then receive your Database with a Free Visualizer running under Windows. The visualizer supports: 8,16,24 AND 32 bit color 32 bit Perspective corrected texture mapping Resolutions up to 1600*1280 Transparency Unlimited number of omni or spot lights...but one ambient. ... Limit Time Offer: till January 15th, 1996 THE Best Of all DataBases Will receive a Complete VirtualSpace Software (value 6000 US$!!!) *************************************************************************** Jorge Goncalves (+33-1) 30 76 53 53 voice Simulis France (+33-1) 30 76 42 05 fax 46/52 rue Jean Carasso simulis@worldnet.net internet 95870 Bezons - FRANCE *************************************************************************** ABOUT SIMULIS *************************************************************************** Simulis is a French, high technology corporation specializing in the development and distribution of Virtual Reality systems. The company starts providing distribution of many high end software and hardware for Virtual Reality. Since 1993, Simulis began developing its own Virtual Reality product line. The mission to the company was to provide a complete VR system for Industry with a powerfull and easy to use software and harware. *************************************************************************** PRODUCTS *************************************************************************** o WorldToolKit: cross-platform virtual reality C library o Superscape: virtual reality software for PC o VirtualSpace: end-user virtual reality software with intuitive GUI o RB-1000PC: high technology Image Generator dedicated to visual simulation and virtual reality o SpaceMouse: 6D input device o Flock of Birds: electro-magnetic 6D trackers sensors o I-Glasses: head mounted display unit o Vituality 2000SU: Immersive VR entertainment systems o VREX: Stereoscopic vision systems *************************************************************************** o WorldToolKit: cross-platform virtual reality C library WorldToolKit is a portable, cross-platform development system for visual simulation and virtual reality applications. Current platforms include Silicon Graphics, Sun, Hewlett-Packard, DEC, Intel, Evans & Sutherland and PowerPC. An object-oriented library written in C, WorldToolKit contains more than 650 high-level functions calls for configuring, interacting with and controlling real-time simulations. It provides the functionality you need to create even the most complex applications. *************************************************************************** o Superscape: virtual reality software for PC Superscape is a complete solution for developing virtual worlds. It contains all of the elements you need to create fully interactive textured virtual reality worlds on a standard PC: Shape,World,Texture, Screen Layout and Sound editors as DXF converter, World intelligence and Visualiser. *************************************************************************** o VirtualSpace: end-user virtual reality software with intuitive GUI VirtualSpace is an affordable, complete VR System. It contains an intuitive graphical user interface that allows the non-programmer to easily develop virtual worlds, animate them with intelligent and realistic properties, and experience them in desktop or fully immersive modes. VirtualSpace is available as entry level under Windows, and as advanced level with PowerSim Image Generator. *************************************************************************** o RB-1000PC: high technology Image Generator dedicated to visual simulation and virtual reality RB-1000PC is an Advanced Image Generator for PC's. It combines RISC, DSP and custom processor hardware with breakthrough advanced math and control algorithms, to produce a PC board that provides Virtual Reality and simulation capabilities previously found only on main frame or high-end graphics workstations.The board provides continuous processing of 60,000 ALL perspective corrected textured/smooth Gouraud shaded polygons per second, which allows a full 2,000 polys/frame at a 30 FPS update rate.Texture mapping, flat and smooth shading, Z-Depth buffering, Level Of Detail, blending and fading, transparency and translucency are all performed by onboard hardware.The basic board includes a standard LCD shutter glass interface. Onboard options include an anti-aliasing processor, a PAL/NTSC processor, texture and database expansion RAM, and real-time Optics Distorsion Processor (for LEEP, spherical projections, etc.). *************************************************************************** o SpaceMouse: 6D input deviceBased on opto-electronic technology, this 6D device can be connected to any serial port of any computer to improve all position and orientation in CAD construction, 3D simulation (mechanical engineering, robotics, etc.), architecture, biology and chemistry (molecular modelling), Virtual Reality etc. *************************************************************************** o Flock of Birds: electro-magnetic 6D trackers, sensors6D Multi-Receiver/Transmitter Tracking Device delivers simultaneous tracking of up to 30 tiny receivers. Each receiver makes up to 144 position and orientation measurements a second. Flock uses multiprocessors to reduce computation time and a Fast Bird Bus to speed data transmissions to the useris host computer. The result is real time availability of sensed motions for graphics and measurement applications ranging from simulation and virtual reality to biomechanics and entertainment. *************************************************************************** o I-Glasses: head mounted display unitThis is a viewing device with 3D and head tracking capability, compatibility with both video and computer source material, and a lightweight portable design that adjusts to fit anyone, even users wearing prescription eyeglasses. it gives the user a whole new way to view video tapes, laserdiscs, broadcast/cable television, electronic games, PC games or any NTSC source. *************************************************************************** o Vituality 2000: Immersive VR entertainment systemsThe looks are stunning, the performance incredible. Series 2000SU is the key to profitable entry into the most exciting concept for creating animations around Virtual Reality. You can rent those systems for a party or to communicate around your own product. *************************************************************************** o VREX: Stereoscopic vision systems World is only true 3D stereoscopic LCD system based on pol technology. With those systems, presentations are cost-effective for viewing by large groups. You can captivate an audiance by producing spectacular, life-like 3D images in any conference room or auditorium. This revolutionary system lets you view 3D images using a vivid active matrix LCD screen (LCD projection panels and 3D notebook computers) through inexpensive, passive glasses. *************************************************************************** CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION ***************************************************************************
