"We are excited to partner with an established VAR like AES," said Bob Derezinski, vice president of sales and marketing, StereoGraphics Corp.

About Stereo3D Technology

Stereo3D is the use of computer technology to recreate the way we naturally see depth -- stereoscopically. Stereoscopic viewing describes how we use both eyes, each with a slightly different perspective, to perceive depth and perspective in a physical environment.

Stereo3D delivers the most realistic visual representation possible of complex digital models, giving architects, engineers, scientists, and medical and graphics professionals the best possible understanding of three-dimensional information and yields levels of technical proficiency not available using a typical 3D view.

StereoGraphics' Stereo3D products have been in use for over a decade in key design and engineering centers such as General Motors, Ford, Boeing and NASA as they allow professionals dealing with large multi-dimensional data sets to visualize images more naturally, resulting in reduced errors, enhanced design review and faster time-to-market.
