Virtalis has been appointed the UK reseller for TGS's Amira and Open Inventor products.
Virtalis has been appointed the UK reseller for TGS's Amira and Open Inventor products.
Used widely in medical research, material science, biology and microscopy, this range of software adds significantly to the company's software portfolio.
Andrew Connell, Virtalis Technical Director explained: "We discovered the power of this software thanks to our recent involvement with Manchester University's new Visualisation Centre".
"We helped to integrate Amira and we saw its tremendous potential for anyone who has a requirement to visualise abstract or volumetric data".
"Those wishing to analyse CT scans, MRI scans or explore molecular structures for engineering or geological science will find this software invaluable".
Amira consists of automatic and interactive segmentation tools, which support the processing of 3D image data.
Fast, robust reconstruction algorithms make it easy to create polygonal models from segmented objects.
In addition, true volumetric tetrahedral meshes can be generated, suitable for advanced finite element simulations.
Simulation results, as well as other data defined on a variety of different grids, can be investigated via a set of powerful visualisation methods.
Amira supports a wide variety of immersive displays and devices, allowing data visualisation professionals to have full access to the power of virtual reality (VR) for possibly the first time.
TGS's Open Inventor Toolkit is aimed at C++ and Java programmers and enables them to produce highly realistic and fully interactive virtual reality applications.
TGS and Virtalis will be working together to extend the reach of the product into the VR marketplace, exploiting its increased functionality and features.
