Caligari Announces Real-Time 3D Positional Voice Over IP.- Shared Virtual Workspace Allows Users to Collaborate in 3D Space While Having a Live Voice Conversation - MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Caligari Corporation, an award-winning producer of 3D modeling and animation software today 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 See:

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Roman Ormandy, explains: "Because our 3D content creation software trueSpace is all about teamwork and collaboration, clear communication is critical, and what is more natural than live voice communication! To further enhance the realism of the user experience, we are using state of the art technology that takes into account the relative position of each of the participants. So depending on the location of your avatar in the virtual space, you will be able to hear people who are close to you loud and clear, whereas conversations that are happening at the other end of the virtual room will be inaudible." 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 Shared space is a traffic engineering philosophy pioneered by the Dutch traffic engineer Hans Monderman. The approach relies on the principle that road users' behaviour is more likely to be affected by the street environment and design than by the traditional deployment of measures 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 Having the image quality of a photograph. or stylized styl·ize tr.v. styl·ized, styl·iz·ing, styl·iz·es 1.

Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. 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. The trueV option for truePlay will be available free of charge for exiting users by the end of September and by the end of the year for trueSpace users.
