Achieving best in class visual quality and performance in virtual engineering - ICIDO to incorporate NVSG 5 from NVIDIA

Better realism, visual quality and rendering performance in immersive and interactive scenarios are the advantages of ICIDO’s integration of NVIDIA’s latest scenegraph release. ICIDO is one of the first vendors worldwide to implement NVIDIA’s NVSG in its version 5. Through close cooperation, both development teams have used NVIDIA NVSG’s capabilities for immersive and interactive visualization.

The NVSG renderer is NVIDIA’s solution for more realistic real-time and high-performance rendering. ICIDO fully supports NVIDIA’s strategy to provide access to high-end visualization and visual computing through the use of NVSG. Both aspects are essential for ICIDO’s customers and will deliver several significant benefits such as superior visual effects through CgFx and MetaSL Shader support, improved scalability through NVScale multi-GPU rendering and real-time GPU-based raytracing..

Christian Matzen, COO of ICIDO, notes: “ I am fascinated by how quickly and productively the two teams worked together to create significant value for our customers. Users will benefit from ultra realistic visualization via OpenGL immediately as well as raytracing in the very near term. We are fully committed to leveraging NVSG for future development.”

Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions, NVIDIA adds: “Our strong working relationship with ICIDO is successfully leveraging the full potential of NVSG rendering technology for advanced visualization. .

ICIDO will release the first version of its Visual Decision Platform with the integrated NVSG renderer in April 2009.
