Immersion Corporation, a developer of 3D and force-feedback products and technologies, invites SIGGRAPH attendees to be among the first to try the beta version of VirtualHand for MOCAP, a plug-in for Immersion's CyberGlove hand-sensing hardware. With this plug-in, filmmakers and game developers using the CyberGlove system can easily capture, edit, and blend motion animation with Kaydara's MOCAP real-time capture software while creating animated films or games.
Immersion will also show third-party software that uses the recently announced Mac SDK for the MicroScribe G2 digitizer. The new SDK allows 3D Mac software developers to integrate MicroScribe desktop digitizing systems into their applications that run on Apple computers
. Immersion's MicroScribe G2 digitizer is an articulated arm that design-engineers, game developers, animators and industrial designers use to convert physical objects into digital 3D models for virtual manipulation and editing.
MicroScribe digitizing demonstrations on the Mac platform will include:
-- Eovia Corp.
-- auto.des.sys, Inc.
-- PiXELS Digital, Inc.
In addition, Immersion will show its Haptic Workstation with VirtualHand for V5 CAD software. Attendees trying the product will be immersed in a CATIA V5 3D-model of an automobile interior and be able to physically use their hands to interact with and feel components on the graphical dashboard in real-time.
