Ascension and Virtual Simulations Announce Business Partnership To Offer Turn-key VR Solutions to Clients

BURLINGTON, VERMONT: April 20, 2006: Ascension is pleased to announce a new business partnership with Virtual Simulations, Inc., developer of advanced visualization systems. Virtual Simulation will become a worldwide value added reseller (VAR) of Ascension’s products. As part of the business relationship, Virtual Simulations will integrate Ascension 3D trackers with its software to provide a complete VR solution to end-users.

With over 10 years of experience in the field of virtual reality, Virtual Simulations Inc. specializes in the development and deployment of computer-driven visual technologies to solve challenging engineering and manufacturing problems as well as improve productivity. Combining state-of-the-art VR hardware/software technologies, Virtual Simulations solutions require minimal installation and, for the most part, are ready to use “out of the box.”

"This new partnership will give Virtual Simulations Inc. access to the latest technology in motion tracking hardware. That will help ensure our clients that virtual reality systems delivered by Virtual Simulations incorporate the best components in the world. We are very excited to see this new partnership begin," says Marc Bernatchez, President of Virtual Simulations Inc.

Ascension’s Vice President Jack Scully adds, “One of the issues limiting widespread use of VR technologies is lack of technical expertise at the company level. Virtual Simulations has the expertise to apply the right combination of hardware and software to help solve complex problems in design, prototyping and manufacturing.”
