Immersion & GHOST 3D to Present New MicroScribe Solutions at SIGGRAPH 2005

July 26, 2005 (Castro Valley, CA) -- GHOST 3D, LLC and Immersion Corporation (IMMR) are collaborating to present new MicroScribe(R) solutions for 3D Digital Content Creators at the SIGGRAPH 2005 trade show (August 2-4). Scribe-iT CAD’s 3D design, modeling, reverse engineering, and measurement tools will be shown in addition to a sneak preview of Scribe-iT MoCap(tm), the first ever Motion Capture solution for MicroScribe digitizers. These unique productivity solutions will help product designers, engineers, 3D modelers, animators, to create digital content more quickly and precisely in true 3D space at any desktop surface using a Windows enabled PC.

The MicroScribe solutions will be shown at Immersion’s booth #2229 at the SIGGPRAPH 2005 trade show, held in the Los Angeles Convention Center. Scribe-iT CAD was released earlier this year by GHOST 3D and provides unprecedented value in MicroScribe integrated Computer Aided Design (CAD) for reverse engineering, industrial design, modeling, navigation, editing and measurement with the award winning MicroScribe 3D data capturing devices.

Scribe-iT MoCap will be demonstrated to the public for the first time. Scribe-iT MoCap provides an additional set of tools that work with the Scribe-iT core integration extensions to provide motion capture of 3D object manipulation in 3ds max and Autodesk VIZ. Animation data is recorded in real-time using a MicroScribe input device to manipulate 3D objects in the scene. The release for the Scribe-iT MoCap toolset is to be announced in the near future.

GHOST 3D, LLC is a premiere authorized Immersion dealer and 3D Systems integrator offering complete 3D digitizing systems, modeling software and an entire family of proprietary Scribe-iT 3D input, digitizing, and reverse engineering solutions for MicroScribe and other 3D input devices. MicroScribe and Scribe-iT integrated solutions are supported and available directly from GHOST 3D, LLC.
