French 3D Outsourcing Specialist Selects AGEIA Physics Technology for First
Branded Title
LOS ANGELES, May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Electronic Entertainment Expo
(E3), AGEIA(TM) Technologies, Inc., the pioneer in hardware-accelerated
physics for games, today announced that Game Consulting, the French specialist
of 3D outsourcing, will be demonstrating the power of AGEIA's PhysX hardware
and software with their new live combat game Arena Online. The demo will be
shown by appointment only at the AGEIA booth at E3 (Kentia Hall #7532).
The development team at Game Consulting is integrating specific physics
features of the AGEIA PhysX processor into Arena Online using AGEIA's NovodeX

About AGEIA
AGEIA(TM) Technologies, Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company and the
pioneer of hardware-accelerated physics for games. Its flagship product, the
PhysX processor, is the world's first dedicated physics processing unit -- a
completely new hardware category. The PhysX processor and supporting software
deliver the processing horsepower to calculate real-time interactive worlds.
Developers can define these worlds to obey the laws of classical physics, or
create their own physical laws that make their game a unique, hyper-
dimensional experience.
AGEIA seeks to ignite innovation in the games industry by working with
leading developers, publishers, add-in board vendors and console manufacturers
to deliver the next generation of physically immersive entertainment. Consumer
add-in boards and systems equipped with the AGEIA PhysX processor and games
