ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- MUSE Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: MUZE), a leader in data visualization software and solutions, has
announced several new features to its award-winning MuSE(R) 2000
(Multi-dimensional user-oriented Synthetic Environment) software development
system.
MuSE 2000 Version 2.2 now provides full support for the Windows(R) 2000
operating system in addition to the previously supported Windows NT4 platform.
MuSE has also been upgraded to support multi-pipe graphics cards on PC-based
systems to present 3D and immersive graphics on multi-screen displays.
Dynamic head-tracked perspective correction is also provided, which enables
Windows-based MuSE software applications to be easily and automatically
deployed in large-scale theatres, immersive rooms and on multi-monitor desktop
configurations. In addition, multiple graphics cards (configured to work
together as a single logical wide or panoramic screen) are now supported on
HP-UX(TM), SGI and Sun Solaris(TM) platforms.
Users of Single Logical Screen (SLS) on HP-UX, of Multi-Channel Option
(MCO) or DPLEX on SGI IRIX, of Xinerama(TM) (or multi-display support) on Sun
Solaris, and of Multiple Monitor Support (MMS) on Windows NT and Windows 2000
can now share the same MuSE-based applications (either independently or
collaboratively) across a wide variety of display systems, including immersive
room and workbench-style products from vendors such as Panoram Technologies,
FakeSpace Systems, TAN, Barco and MechDyne.
According to Craig Peterson, Vice President of Technology for MUSE
Technologies, "These new features of MuSE 2000 will enable users of our
software to efficiently take full advantage of the latest
multi-pipe technology that is influencing both theatre and desktop data
visualization. Continuing advances in display technology are empowering all
types of corporate, engineering and research users to interact with data in
new and innovative ways, and we are focused on providing these users with as
many presentation and interaction options as possible."
Using MuSE software, programmers can create applications that integrate
any form of data with voice command, voice response, head tracking, tactile
feedback and other features that take advantage of human perceptual skills.
Built-in network collaboration capabilities permit multiple users on any
TCP/IP-based network to manipulate data and interact together within a
MuSE-based application, regardless of their geographic location, hardware
configuration or computing platform.
John Hough, Managing Director of MUSE Technologies, added, "An increasing
number of industries are beginning to embrace the notion of dynamic-scale data
visualization for a host of simulation, engineering and training functions.
New high-performance/low-cost personal computers -- as well as increased
functionality on more traditional workstations -- are paving the way for new
software-based solutions and system integration opportunities, which all the
MUSE companies and products are positioned to leverage."
MuSE 2000 Version 2.2 will be on display in Booth 219 of SIGGRAPH 2000, to
be held in New Orleans July 25-27. For additional information visit
