FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : New Virtual Reality Firm Opens for Business
 
       Virtual Dynamics, of Albany CA, is a virtual reality consulting 
firm specializing in the design and implementation of real-time, interactive 
3D graphic applications. They opened their doors for business in early 
September.
 
     Virtual reality (VR) has been used to help various industries 
understand very complex data by visually displaying the data in a 3-D 
simulated environment that the user can interact with. VR has been used by:
 
	* Financial managers to evaluate trends in the stock market.
 
	* Scientists to visualize theoretical models.
 
	* Computer-aided designers to interact with their design before 
	  it's even prototyped.
 
	* Medical students for surgery training.
 
	* The military for training pilots and soldiers.
 
     The company is a partnership of Ed Larmore and Geoff Pilling, both of 
whom have considerable experience in virtual reality programming. They draw
from a wide knowledge base of skills:
 
	* With a strong background in math and physics, Virtual Dynamics 
	  can quickly create complex, real-time simulations that obey the 
	  laws of physics, such as a system of planets rotating around the 
	  sun, complete with a maneuverable spacecraft. 
 
	* By using a style of application design known as object-oriented 
	  programming, Virtual Dynamics can create highly portable, 
	  reliable code that is easy to use, build on, change, and maintain.
 
	* Using the industry standard WorldToolkit VR development system by 
	  Sense8 Corp, applications built by Virtual Dynamics have access 
	  to dozens of VR input and output devices, and are easily portable 
	  to a wide range of computer systems.
 
     If you think your company might be able to benefit from this new 
technology, contact Virtual Dynamics at:
