Superscape VR plc announces that the Visualiser for Silicon Graphics, a new
virtual reality tool for viewing real-time, PC-authored three-dimensional
applications on SG UNIX workstations,  is now shipping.   For a special
introductory period, the product is priced at œ1,200.

Visualiser for Silicon Graphics systems is a platform on which businesses
and developers creating real-time three dimensional virtual worlds using
Superscape's PC-based authoring tool, VRT 4, can view their applications
utilising the superior rendering capabilities and high quality visualisation
of Silicon Graphics workstations running IRIX operating system version 5.3
or later.

"Coupling these leading VR technologies offers businesses and developers a
new cross-platform solution for virtual reality application development",
said Linda Jacobson, virtual reality evangelist for Silicon Graphics.
"Businesses that need superior rendering capabilities and advanced real-time
visualisation can now view PC-based solutions on Silicon Graphics hardware."

Viewing virtual worlds through Visualiser for Silicon Graphics greatly
enhances the experience of a virtual reality application.  Subtle lighting,
textured shading and faster rendering capabilities available through
Visualiser for Silicon Graphics give the user a more realistic virtual
reality experience than previously possible.  Other features of
Visualiser for Silicon Graphics include over forty different world
navigation styles, 3D animation, configurable haze, fog and smoke effects
and anti-aliasing which is used to smooth jagged lines and polygon edges.
