Right Hemisphere, a provider of product communication and collaboration systems, announced it has been chosen by Microsoft Corp. as one of 10 companies to go to market with Windows Vista operating system. Microsoft selected Right Hemisphere to showcase some of the more unique capabilities of Windows Vista and Right Hemisphere's 2D and 3D authoring and publishing solutions.
Windows Vista promises to deliver innovations in organizing and finding information; security; and reliability so users can find, use, and share text and 3D data easily. Right Hemisphere has been working to ensure that XAML file exporting and XPS file publishing will be supported in both its enterprise and client software offerings soon after Vista is generally available. Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration and Deep Publish client applications will support XAML 3D Models content in their next releases, which are expected to be available this month. With support already available for more than 120 2D and 3D formats, Deep Exploration will enable a range of CAD and other 3D data formats to be translated and published in the XAML format and as secure 3D XPS files for sharing and collaboration. With the enhanced data security and search features of Windows Vista, this 3D content will also be protected and easily tagged and found throughout large enterprises and their extended supply chains. The software enables users to publish, view, interact with, and import 2D and 3D graphics directly into Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPointas well as Adobe Acrobat.
With Deep Server, customers will also be able to automate the process of creating XAML and XPS files on a larger scale. "Nothing speaks quite as loudly to the proliferation and democratization of 3D as Microsoft releasing a rich, 3D operating system like Windows Vista," said Michael Lynch, CEO at Right Hemisphere. "We are excited to see a whole new look and feel with Windows Vista that takes 3D Models content into full consideration."
