FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : New Virtual Reality Firm Opens for Business
Virtual Dynamics, of Albany CA, is a virtual reality consulting
firm specializing in the design and implementation of real-time, interactive
3D graphic applications. They opened their doors for business in early
September.
Virtual reality (VR) has been used to help various industries
understand very complex data by visually displaying the data in a 3-D
simulated environment that the user can interact with. VR has been used by:
* Financial managers to evaluate trends in the stock market.
* Scientists to visualize theoretical models.
* Computer-aided designers to interact with their design before
it's even prototyped.
* Medical students for surgery training.
* The military for training pilots and soldiers.
The company is a partnership of Ed Larmore and Geoff Pilling, both of
whom have considerable experience in virtual reality programming. They draw
from a wide knowledge base of skills:
* With a strong background in math and physics, Virtual Dynamics
can quickly create complex, real-time simulations that obey the
laws of physics, such as a system of planets rotating around the
sun, complete with a maneuverable spacecraft.
* By using a style of application design known as object-oriented
programming, Virtual Dynamics can create highly portable,
reliable code that is easy to use, build on, change, and maintain.
* Using the industry standard WorldToolkit VR development system by
Sense8 Corp, applications built by Virtual Dynamics have access
to dozens of VR input and output devices, and are easily portable
to a wide range of computer systems.
If you think your company might be able to benefit from this new
technology, contact Virtual Dynamics at:
