Ascension Technology
and ACUITIV™ Software Form
Strategic Alliance
Burlington, VT,
September 8, 2003: Ascension
Technology Corporation,
leading manufacturer of motion
tracking technology, and ACUITIV™
Software, leading
provider of next-generation
Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) visualization software,
today announced they are forming
an alliance to further their
marketing and manufacturing
efforts.
The companies will participate
in joint marketing and sales
initiatives, as well as product
interoperability testing.
As a result of this partnership,
users of virtual reality immersive
environments will benefit
from the end-to-end integration
of motion tracking hardware
and visualization software.
Immersive environments are
used in the automotive, aerospace
and defense, energy, and chemical
processing industries to better
develop, analyze, and collaborate
on product designs. The ACUITIV
Software and Ascension partnership
provides the only combination
of products that seamlessly
integrates CFD visualization
and motion tracking. Previously,
additional software solutions
and complex coding were required
to ensure complete integration.
“As the market leader for
motion trackers, Ascension
is used by some of the largest
and most prominent institutions
across several vertical markets,”
said Bill Panepinto, General
Manager of ACUITIV Software.
“Our next-generation architecture
combined with Ascension’s
cutting-edge tracking technologies
offers customers a solution
that fully integrates CFD
visualization and motion tracking
within an immersive environment
for the first time.”
“Immersive environments have
proven to be an area where
the combination of motion
tracking and CFD visualization
is the most powerful and comprehensive
method for better examining
and understanding designs,”
said Jack Scully, Vice President
of Ascension Technology Corporation.
“We anticipate this partnership
will not only unveil new opportunities
for both companies, but truly
present customers with a compelling
solution to reduce overall
time to market.”
ACUITIV™ Software, based
in Batavia, IL, is a leading
provider of Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) visualization
software.
Ascension Technology Corporation,
based in Milton, VT, is the
market leader in 3D tracking
devices for interactive computer
applications. Ascension manufactures
motion tracking devices for
medical imaging, animation,
biomechanics, simulation and
military targeting systems.
