New OCTANE Workstations From Silicon Graphics Deliver Direct Powerful midrange graphics workstation and CrystalEyes deliver
StereoGraphics Contacts: Editorial - Kevin Pedraja, Sterling Communications Product - Andy Ramm, StereoGraphics SAN RAFAEL, CALIF., February 18, 1997 StereoGraphics, the worlds leading developer of 3D viewing peripherals, today announced that its CrystalEyes stereoscopic visualization system is directly supported by Silicon Graphics Incorporateds new OCTANE family of workstations. With OCTANE, CrystalEyes is compatible with Silicon Graphics entire range of graphics workstation products, including O2™ and Onyx2™. This provides professionals engaged in solid modeling and multi-dimensional imaging for scientific, industrial and entertainment applications with the broadest range of 3D visualization options. "For over 15 years, StereoGraphics has set the standard for 3D visualization systems, much the way SGI has been the standard bearer for high-performance graphics computers," said Bob Seltzer, StereoGraphics director of marketing. "Today, StereoGraphics CrystalEyes enjoys unprecedented support from both hardware and software companies who cater to the unique and stringent needs of professionals working with visual data." CrystalEyes is a lightweight, wireless set of eyewear that employs liquid crystal shuttering technology to deliver high-definition, stereoscopic 3D images in conjunction with compatible software and standard workstation displays. StereoGraphics CrystalEyes allows professionals dealing with multi-dimensional data to visualize problems and analyze information more quickly and effectively. Many common software applications used in the molecular modeling, mechanical CAD, GIS and medical imaging support StereoGraphics CrystalEyes. CrystalEyes also offers plug-and-play use with all major UNIX platforms and Windows NT, ensuring compatibility with almost any workstation. "Our customers place the highest possible demands on graphics computers, software and peripherals," said Kay Matsuo, peripherals product manager for Silicon Graphics Desktop Systems Division. "StereoGraphics CrystalEyes has shown conspicuous leadership in delivering real-world 3D visualization capabilities and were pleased to be supporting this product line in our new OCTANE family." Announced last month, Silicon Graphics new OCTANE workstation family features high-performance graphics, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and a pure 64-bit computing environment, wrapped in an innovative high-performance system architecture designed to manage the demands of future applications. From a price-performance standpoint, OCTANE resides between the Silicon Graphics 02 and Onyx2 workstation families. OCTANE uses similar levels of graphics and processor offerings to the Indigo2IMPACT™, but is built around a new system architecture that allows for tremendous bandwidth and low latency between subsystems. Price and Availability StereoGraphics CrystalEyes system carries a suggested list price of $995 including infrared emitter. The product is available from Qualix Direct at (800) 455-9273.
