SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 16, 1996 - Softdisk® Publishing, developer of the popular 3D action game, In Pursuit of Greed, today revealed plans to support StereoGraphics' SimulEyes VR stereo vision eyewear in "Greed" and future titles. SimulEyes VR enables players to proceed through 22 game levels of fast 3D action with true depth perception.

"Softdisk Publishing fully supports StereoGraphic's SimulEyes VR in our 3D action game entitled In Pursuit of Greed," said Softdisk Vice President David Bowman. "Our staff's enthusiasm for SimulEyes VR told us it was the right product to support. StereoGraphics' developer assistance has been excellent and we will definitely publish SimulEyes VR-ready titles in the future, including "Birthrite" coming this fall."

SimulEyes VR employs StereoGraphics' liquid crystal shutter technology, the industry standard for 3D stereo vision in workstation environments. The shutters in the eyewear rapidly alternate in sync with left- and right-eye views on the computer monitor. The shutters ensure that the left eye sees only the left image while the right eye sees only the right. This effectively emulates normal eyesight to restore depth perception.

"Softdisk's support of SimulEyes VR marks yet another software publisher committed to our industry leading technology," said Craig Rappaport, Product Marketing

Manager at StereoGraphics. "With the addition of In Pursuit of Greed, we are building a varied and comprehensive list of titles for the expanding stereoscopic 3D games market."

Published and distributed by Softdisk, a Shreveport-LA-based software company in business for over 14 years, In Pursuit of Greed was developed by Mind Shear Software. Mind Shear, formerly known as Channel VII, also developed Ironseed, a galactic strategy game published by Softdisk in 1995. In Pursuit of Greed is available for $39.95 from Softdisk's toll-free order hotline: 800-831-2694.

Founded in 1980, StereoGraphics pioneered and developed the market for modern stereoscopic imaging equipment and is the world leader in sales of electro-stereoscopic shuttering eyewear. CrystalEyes, StereoGraphics' flagship product, has an installed base of over 20,000 users in scientific visualization, GIS/mapping, molecular modeling, CAD/CAM, and commercial presentation. With SimulEyes VR, StereoGraphics offers affordable 3D eyewear for home PC game, multimedia, and edutainment markets. StereoGraphics' address is 2171 E. Francisco Blvd., San Rafael, CA., 94901.
