The company has also entered a definitive agreement to be aquired by Creative Technology. Creative Technology (aka Creative Labs) is a shareholder in 3Dlabs and has worked with the company since 1995 when the two combined to release a 3D gaming board.

3Dlabs will continue to supply, support and develop all of its product lines, including Wildcat® and Oxygen®, with no expected disruption in supply to any of its customers.

Dates: June 17-19, 2002
Location: Evanston, Illinois, USA

It used to be that the user needed to wear special glasses which filtered the 2D images for the left and right eye. However, new technology allows the images to be viewed correctly without glasses on special LCD monitors.

Many 3D visualization packages support stereoscopic display and the effect can be quite dramatic.

Dell now offers the new 3Dlabs Wildcat III graphics (previous story) in its 530 Workstation.

NVIDIA has announced their Quadro 4 line of professional graphics cards based on their GeForce 4 GPU (previous story). Aimed at the professional market (as opposed to the video game market) the Quadro line adds anti-aliasing, hardware overlays, hardware XOR, and hardware clip/window ids.

Compaq has announced that it will offer NVIDIA Quadro 4 graphics on their workstations in March.

StereoGraphics will demo the latest in their stereographic displays during a tour of Boston, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham and Chicago starting April 30th to May 10th, 2002.

• Learn how you can optimize every new product design for fluid flow and heat transfer performance
• See how easy it is to use native MCAD models and assemblies for simulation
• Discover how to reduce time and expense of physical prototyping and field testing
• Find out why engineering teams at Caterpillar, Honda, Honeywell, Northrop-Grumman and Siemens are using CFdesign to help bring better products to market faster

The 2 ½ hour seminar is geared towards Product Development Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Chief Engineers and Engineering Managers and will include tips & tricks to improve your next product design while getting an up-close look at how a new generation of engineers is using CFdesign as an extension of their 3D MCAD system to optimize fluid flow and heat transfer performance.A
