SAN JOSE, CA – January
21, 2003 – Quantum3D®, Inc., a leading provider of
open architecture realtime 3D visual computing solutions for the
Visual Simulation and Training (VST) and Embedded Visual Computing
(EVC) markets, today announced its support for the new NVIDIA®
Quadro® FX graphics processing unit (GPU) technology. Quantum3D
will integrate the Quadro FX GPU technology into the company’s
range of open architecture image generator (IG) solutions for
synthetic environment training applications.
“With its industry
leading rendering precision, vertex and pixel shader support,
and performance capabilities, Quadro FX technology enables complete
new classes of realtime graphics applications,” said Ross
Q. Smith, Quantum3D co-founder and executive vice president of
business development and marketing. “By combining Quadro
FX GPUs with our value added IG solutions, we will enable our
training systems integrator and visualization customers to take
advantage of this watershed achievement in graphics technology
— all while preserving their investment in Quantum3D hardware
and software products as a result of NVIDIA’s Unified Driver
Architecture and our own efforts that ensure software compatibility
between product generations.”
Since 2001, Quantum3D
has exclusively incorporated NVIDIA Quadro GPUs in the company’s
EVC and VST product lines. Over the past two years, Quantum3D
has employed NVIDIA QuadroDCC and Quadro4 GPUs in the company’s
Graphite™, Obsidian® and Independence® open architecture
IGs, which have been adopted by leading VST systems integrators,
including J.F. Taylor, Lockheed Martin, Honda, Boeing and others
for armor, driving, embedded training, flight simulation and mission
rehearsal applications. Quantum3D IG solutions that feature Quadro
FX GPU technology will be introduced over the next several months.
“Quantum3D does a
great job of adding value to our core GPU technologies by tailoring
solutions and providing detailed customer service for the vis-sim
and embedded graphics markets,” said Jeff Brown, director
of workstation product management at NVIDIA. “We value Quantum3D’s
continued support and look forward to seeing the enhanced versions
of their IGs that incorporate Quadro FX GPU technology.
