Dassault Systemes, yesterday, announced the release of their latest 3DVIA application.  3DVIA Mobile runs on iPhone and iPod touch devices in order to enable users to search, share and interact with the growing library of high quality 3D models on 3DVIA.com.  The new application gives 3DVIA members unique access to rich 3D content usually reserved for workstations.

At 3DVIA, our goal is to make it easy for people to tap into the power of 3D as a communication medium,” said Lynne Wilson, CEO, 3DVIA, Dassault Systèmes. “With 3DVIA Mobile, users can find cool, realistic 3D content from our library and immediately enrich their photos, right on the iPhone. They download and position the model on a picture for an instant 3D mash-up that blends 3D digital data with the physical world. It’s both fun and viral because people like and want to share their creations.”

3DVIA Mobile also allows users to enhance or “augment” photographs with highly realistic 3D models.  Users such as home decorators or do-it-yourself-ers can immediately realize what a space could look like using their Apple device and a series of 3DVIA models.  Dassault released the new app to the world right in time for the NVIDIA GPU Tech Conference, where they will be exhibiting.  If you’re going to be at the conference, stop by and check it out.

Visioglobe has announced that their CEO, Eric Bernard, will present a full immersive navigation application with location based services of San Jose and Paris at the NVIDIA Emerging Company Summit.  The actual Visioglobe editor is an editor who’s ambition is to revolutionize 3D visualization in the world’s biggest cities using real photographic data and real-time information.  They’re billing the Visioglobe product as providing a “first life” experience, which enhances the real world experience by providing the world in 3D on embedded devices (such as NVIDIA Tegra) with highly detailed buildings and landmarks.

Following an incubation path in partnership with the INRIA laboratory (National Institute of Computing and Automatic Control Engineering) and twice winner of the National competition of French R&D, Visioglobe was created at the end of 2007 by Philippe Poutignat (ENSTA Engineer, 16 years in Thales training), and Eric Bernard (EM Lyon MBA, 12 years in IT, Oracle, Fi-System, SQLI)
The company finished its first fund raising in September 2009, in order to increase its R&D and Sales team. The R&D team has been enhanced by a strong group of international engineers, with background from MIT, New Zealand engineering school and leading French engineering schools. This first fund raising will accelerate the international development of the company, in Europe, in the US, and in Asia. A second fund raising is already planed for the Q1/2011 in order to sustain and “comfort” its international presence.

The app looks very tasty to those interested in integrating real-time info and synthetic geometry in real-time.  Eric Bernard will present the application on Friday, October 2nd at 2PM in the Fairfield Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose.  For more info, check out their website here.
