VRex Launches 3D Plug-In DepthCharge' 2.0; Enhanced with new features, DepthCharge 2.0 allows user to view 3D stereoscopic images and streaming video on the Internet and offline with ease.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers ELMSFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5 , 2001 VRex Inc., the world leader in 3D stereoscopic stereoscopic /ster·eo·scop·ic/ (ster?e-o-skop´ik) having the effect of a stereoscope; giving objects a solid or three-dimensional appearance. ster·e·o·scop·ic n. 1. imaging products, today released DepthCharge 2.0, a new enhanced version of the web-browser plug-in and viewer that makes it easy to view 3D stereoscopic images both online and offline. The new version of DepthCharge is enhanced with new features including the ability to view streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. and compatibility on multiple Windows platforms including NT, Win 98, ME, and 2000. DepthCharge 2.0 also features smart stereo scrolling (chat, games) scrolling - To flood a chat room or Internet game with text or macros in an attempt to annoy the occupants. This can often cause the chat room to be "uninhabitable" due to the "noise" created by the scroller. Compare spam. which automatically maintains a stereo picture as a viewer scrolls in a window. DepthCharge 2.0 allows a user to view 3D images regardless of their viewing method; including LC shutter (1) An opaque window that is moved in one direction to let light in and in another to close off the light. In fixed-lens cameras, one shutter often suffices for aperture and speed. glasses, anaglyph an·a·glyph n. 1. An ornament carved in low relief. 2. A moving or still picture consisting of two slightly different perspectives of the same subject in contrasting colors that are superimposed on each other, producing a glasses, parallel "free viewing" and cross-eye. Companies can now create their web sites in 3D with ease. DepthCharge 2.0 eliminates the need to develop in multiple 3D formats, and defaults to 2D viewing in a browser with an option to view in 3D, giving consumers a viewing choice. "By eliminating the complexity of creating 3D images in multiple formats, companies can now harness the power of 3D imaging both online and offline," said Carl Tung, VP of Sales for VRex, Inc. "DepthCharge 2.0 will be instrumental in bringing 3D into mainstream use on the Internet. For customers with so many choices, it is critical for web sites to find innovative technologies to better display their products and services and to differentiate themselves from the competition." Sales and marketing professionals can use DepthCharge 2.0 in conjunction with VRex VR Visualizer' shutter glasses to create multimedia presentations on CD ROMs CD ROM Compact Disk Read Only Memory , delivering high-impact messages.

"The release of DepthCharge 2.0 will help educators and publishers put 3D educational material onto the Internet without worrying about compatibility issues, ensuring that all students can view the material regardless of their viewing method" said Dave Swift, Vice President Research and Development of VRex, Inc. More advanced customized projects are also available using DepthCharge functionality. DepthCharge 3D viewing capabilities can be added on the backend of many modeling and imaging programs bringing the benefit of 3D to a multitude of applications including molecular modeling, oceanography oceanography, study of the seas and oceans. The major divisions of oceanography include the geological study of the ocean floor (see plate tectonics) and features; physical oceanography, which is concerned with the physical attributes of the ocean water, such as , medical imaging, etc. DepthCharge 2.0 will bring a new 3D world to the Internet. News stories will come alive with images that "jump" off the screen. Consumers will feel confident purchasing products by seeing the product's true depth and dimension.
