<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</p>
<p>Pliable Display Technology SDK 2.1 and PDT 3d SDK Released by IDELIX<br />
-New SDKs offer efficient integration of PDT within partners' leading<br />
applications-</p>
<p>VANCOUVER, British Columbia - December 10, 2002 - Two months after beta<br />
release, IDELIX(TM) Software Inc. has released both Version 2.1 of the<br />
Pliable Display Technology (PDT) Software Development Kit and the PDT 3d<br />
SDK. Evaluation copies of these SDKs are available to qualified applicants<br />
through the IDELIX Partner Program.</p>
<p>Pliable Display Technology was developed as a solution to the problems<br />
encountered when working with high-density 2D information and 3D models<br />
within the spatial limitations of a display screen. With existing viewing<br />
tools it is difficult to understand how, when zoomed into a detailed region<br />
of interest, this information relates to the rest of the data set that<br />
would otherwise have been zoomed off the screen. PDT provides a more<br />
efficient method of working with data by enabling end users to view<br />
important detail without losing sight of the surrounding information. Case<br />
study results have shown that the integration of PDT provides a more<br />
intuitive workflow process resulting in plus 20% efficiency gains achieved<br />
by the end user.</p>
<p>The PDT SDK 2.1 features the core functionality of the Pliable Display<br />
Technology geometry engine for two dimensional data applications. It<br />
consists of documented libraries and an API that includes support for major<br />
platforms such as the Windows(R) desktop family, Windows CE, and Unix(TM)<br />
variants such as Linux(TM) and IRIX (TM). New to the PDT SDK is a completed<br />
port for Mac OS X (R) development, backed by a Mac specific example,<br />
product demo, and development support team. By supporting Mac OS X, IDELIX<br />
is expanding its technology reach to Mac-centric graphic artists,<br />
publishers and digital imaging professionals who can experience significant<br />
productivity gains through advanced "detail-in- context" viewing and<br />
editing capabilities.</p>
<p>PDT 3d SDK is a new product from IDELIX that extends "detail-in-context"<br />
viewing functionality to three-dimensional models, such as mechanical<br />
drawings. The PDT 3d SDK is built on the existing API of PDT, and offers a<br />
way to see an area of interest that is "occluded" or blocked from view by<br />
the objects visible in front of it. 3D lenses essentially extend a cone or<br />
cylinder toward an object of interest within a 3D model, displacing<br />
impeding objects to the outside of the cone or cylinder. Contextual<br />
information is preserved, with minimal adjustment to the original<br />
structure. This provides users a clear line-of-sight into a model. PDT 3d<br />
provides a strong point-of-entry for IDELIX into the Defense, CAD/CAM,<br />
Electronic Gaming, and Medical Imaging markets.</p>
<p>"Our development team has done an outstanding job incorporating feedback on<br />
the beta release and improving the ease of PDT integration for our<br />
partners," announced IDELIX President and CEO, Bijan Sanii. "The<br />
introduction of our 3D technology in combination with the new port for Mac<br />
OS X development opens significant market opportunity to the IDELIX<br />
business development team and offers a promising start to Q1 of 2003."</p>
<p>The SDKs were written in ANSI C++, and are available to Original Equipment<br />
Manufacturers (OEM's) and System Integrators that are interested in<br />
integrating PDT as a solution within their leading applications. The PDT<br />
SDK supports OpenGL(R) but also includes the PDT Image Warper for<br />
hardware-independent rendering of images. For more information on how to<br />
participate in the IDELIX Partner Program and apply for an evaluation copy<br />
of the SDKs, visit: <a href="http://www.idelix.com/partners_join.shtml?id=mr20021210" title="http://www.idelix.com/partners_join.shtml?id=mr20021210">http://www.idelix.com/partners_join.shtml?id=mr20021210</a>.</p>
