Vero International Announces Support of XGL Format, Enabling Worldwide User Base to Benefit from RealityWave's VizStream

Vero's VISI-Series to enable users to interact, collaborate and innovate on their 3D designs over the web

CAMBRIDGE, MA - October 30, 2001 - RealityWave Inc., developer of the leading Internet-architected platform powering industrial data collaboration, today announced that Vero International, a part of the VI Group, has included the capability to export XGL files in its VISI-Series Release 9 software. The XGL export capability makes VISI-Series applications compatible with 3D industrial data collaboration technologies used in an array of Internet applications, such as those built on RealityWave's VizStream Platform.

RealityWave and Vero also announced today that both companies have fully-complied with the latest XGL specifications, most notable the support of part names in the XGL format. The latest XGL specifications, put out by the XGL Consortium, also include the ability to recognize points and lines. These XGL specifications continue the quest to capture all pertinent 3D data and enable it for visualization over any network connection.

"With more than 10,000 users World Wide, Vero VISI-Series is recognized as one of the leading PC-based design and manufacturing systems, and our users continue to call for the latest in technology," said Richard Youhill, Sales Director of Vero International Software. "Providing XGL export capabilities in our software extends the ability to write data in a proven web-viewing format. Using this format, VISI-Series users can collaborate on projects, no matter their location. This format enables the use of RealityWave's VizStream* and dramatically improves interaction capabilities and ease of use, offering quality and time-to-market benefits"

"By exporting the standard file format, XGL, Vero can provide their customers with the best means of visualizing and interacting with web-based industrial data," said Aaron Freedman, vice president of business development for RealityWave. "At RealityWave we use XGL for web-architected applications built on our industrial data collaboration platform, VizStream. Companies using these applications can take advantage of VizStream's advanced features, such as visualization, animation, mark-up, measurement and communicate seamlessly with manufacturing, sales and marketing, design, and e-commerce, for use throughout the enterprise."

The XGL file format is designed to represent 3D information for the purpose of visualization. It attempts to capture all of the 3D information that can be rendered by the OpenGL rendering library. XGL uses XML 1.0 syntax, so it is easy to write and can be parsed by standard, freely-available code. These features make XGL the ideal format to use when exchanging data between two graphics systems for the purpose of visualization.
