Using technology that is starting to be seen in some of the latest multiplayeronline role-playing games, CaligariÂ's trueV uses 3D positional information toenhance aural realism. CaligariÂ's founder and CEO, Roman Ormandy, explains:
 Because our 3D content creation software trueSpace is all about teamwork andcollaboration, clear communication is critical, and what is more natural than livevoice communication! To further enhance the realism of the user experience, we areusing state of the art technology that takes into account the relative position ofeach of the participants. So depending on the location of your avatar in thevirtual 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 willbe inaudible.Â
Although applications for CaligariÂ's trueSpace7 with trueV span a wide range ofmarkets including online social networks, online education, and games, it is ideallysuited to meet the 3D authoring and collaborative work requirements of teamscreating visualizations, simulations and online training material. The real-timecollaborative features allow geographically distributed designers to enter animmersive shared space and share all trueSpace7 tools in a real-time 3D session.
The ability to directly manipulate, share and discuss 3D objects in a collaborativespace fosters creativity, improves design accuracy and reduces design iterations bycombining unmatched authoring, animation and rendering features with bettercommunication across teams. This translates directly into lower project costs, andfaster time to market.
trueSpace7 can be used in all stages of production, starting with conceptual designand ending with commercial quality photorealistic or stylized illustrations andanimations. trueSpace allows users to output to any print or video media, as well asto 3D rapid prototyping machines.
trueSpace 7 with trueV can also be used in conjunction with CaligariÂ's free webplayer, truePlay, to allow other participants to be included in the virtual spacecreated 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 bythe end of September and by the end of the year for trueSpace users. For moreinformation, please visit CaligariÂ's website at www.caligari.com
