| Caligari Announces Real-Time 3D Positional Voice Over IP Caligari has announced trueV, an integrated live chat option featuring positional voice technology. trueV is designed to offer a rich and realistic online vocal presence for users of Caligari's 3D collaborative content creation software. Caligari is the first company to offer real-time 3D collaborative authoring technology that allows remote users to create, manipulate and edit 3D objects within a shared virtual workspace, while having a live voice conversation. Using technology that is starting to be seen in some of the latest multiplayer online role-playing games, Caligari's trueV uses 3D positional information to enhance aural realism. Although applications for Caligari's trueSpace7 with trueV span a wide range of markets including online social networks, online education, and games, it is ideally suited to meet the 3D authoring and collaborative work requirements of teams creating visualizations, simulations and online training material. The real-time collaborative features allow geographically distributed designers to enter an immersive shared space and share all trueSpace7 tools in a real-time 3D session. The ability to directly manipulate, share and discuss 3D objects in a collaborative space fosters creativity, improves design accuracy and reduces design iterations by combining unmatched authoring, animation and rendering features with better communication across teams. This translates directly into lower project costs, and faster time to market. trueSpace7 can be used in all stages of production, starting with conceptual design and ending with commercial quality photorealistic or stylized illustrations and animations. trueSpace allows users to output to any print or video media, as well as to 3D rapid prototyping machines. trueSpace 7 with trueV can also be used in conjunction with Caligari's free web player, truePlay, to allow other participants to be included in the virtual space created by trueSpace users to view and discuss projects in real time. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
