Quantum3D announces support for new NVIDIA graphics technology.

Quantum3D, Inc., a provider of open architecture, realtime 3D visual computing solutions for the Visual Simulation and Training (VST) and Embedded Visual Computing (EVC) markets, has announced its support for the new NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 professional graphics solution. Quantum3D will integrate this advanced NVIDIA technology into the Company's range of open architecture Image Generation (IG) solutions for institutional synthetic environment training applications and embedded visual computing platforms for embedded training and tactical C4ISR applications.

"Quantum3D has a unique track record of supporting technology insertion in its products, which enables our customers to not worry about choosing a particular technology at a particular time," said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D co-founder and president. "Independence alone has incorporated four major generations of NVIDIA graphics technology--the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 will be the fifth. Our IG's unique capability to cost-effectively accommodate change is but one reason why so many leading training system integrators have adopted the solution for their applications."

Quantum3D has incorporated industry-leading NVIDIA graphics technology into the company's EVC and VST product lines since 2001. Quantum3D has employed NVIDIA solutions in the company's Obsidian, AAgility and Independence IGs, which have been adopted by leading systems integrators, including J.F. Taylor, Lockheed Martin, Honda, Symvionics, Camber, Boeing, NLX Corporation and others for ground combat, driving R&D, fast jet and helicopter synthetic environment training and mission rehearsal applications. In addition, Quantum3D has employed NVIDIA mobile graphics technology in the company's Sentiris PMC and Ventana PCI embedded graphics subsystems and Thermite tactical visual computers, which have been adopted by Kaiser Electronics, TRW, General Dynamics, Oasis, L3 Communications, Saab, Titan Systems, Lockheed Martin and others for embedded graphics, embedded training and C4ISR applications.

"We value our long-standing relationship with Quantum3D," said Jeff Brown, general manager of professional graphics at NVIDIA. "Quantum3D continues to serve the advanced needs of its vis-sim and embedded graphics customers by adding value to our core graphics technologies. We look forward to seeing the enhanced versions of their IGs that incorporate the latest NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 technology."
