Today’s Social Networks are about sharing two-dimensional media. So, if you think about how sites like Flickr let you share photographs or YouTube allows you to share videos, Marechi lets you share your 3D models/simulations and socially network with like-minded engineers. This should be of particular interest to the HPC Community because now they can easily reduce, publish and share not only the static 3D data but also the interactive simulations from their scientific computations/discoveries. Marechi uses the state of the art VCollab solution as the foundation for publishing 3D content and also to visualize the physics/simulations through the free interactive VCollab 3D Viewer.
