About the StereoGraphics CrystalEyes Family
CrystalEyes is a lightweight, wireless eyewear system that delivers high-definition, stereoscopic 3D images in conjunction with compatible software and standard workstation displays. CrystalEyes Lite offers similar functionality in a tethered eyewear system. The products allow professionals dealing with large multi-dimensional data sets to visualize images more naturally and make a faster and more accurate analysis. Many common software applications used in mechanical CAD, molecular modeling, GIS/mapping and medical imaging support StereoGraphics- CrystalEyes products on all major UNIX platforms and Windows NT workstations.
Dynamic Pictures- 3D cards have been specifically designed to support stereo 3D. "Dynamic Pictures is pleased to offer its customers the 3D stereoscopic viewing capabilities that have largely been available only on high-end UNIX workstations," said Dinesh Sharma, vice president of marketing for Dynamic pictures.
