Altair Partner Alliance launches first rendering tool

TROY, USA: The Altair Partner Alliance (APA) announced that Seac02, developer of the real time rendering and augmented reality software LinceoVR, has joined the program. As the APA's first rendering tool, LinceoVR continues to increase and expand the depth of the program's simulation offering.

"We are looking forward to seeing where this new partnership leads both Seac02 and Altair," said Andrea Carignano, CEO at Seac02.

"LinceoVR is a unique product within the APA and outside of it as well. We believe that the software will provide an exciting opportunity for HyperWorks users to bring models to life in new and creative ways without having first to manufacture prototypes. This will be an asset for companies in reducing development costs and creating compelling concept designs."

LinceoVR renders 3D models in real time, bringing them to life with state-of-the-art tracking for augmented reality technologies. This capability enables users to share 3D models in new digital media through both virtual and augmented realities. With its drag-and-drop interface, the software makes it easy to deliver interesting Microsoft Kinect applications.

LinceoVR can create customized on- and off-line scenarios, helping users present products in new and interactive ways. The software incorporates all the necessary aspects to accomplish this, including materials, geometry visualizations and lighting visualizations. The results turn existing content into a nearly tangible product within an interactive experience.
