New Product Announcement: VoxelBox Volume Renderer for Windows

	WINCHESTER, MA, Nov. 1, 1992 -- Jaguar Software Inc. is proud
to announce VoxelBox, the first commercially available volume renderer
for the PC. Volume rendering is a direct technique for visualizing
three dimensional scalar fields(volumes), which often arise in the
study of scientific, technical and medical data. VoxelBox's innovative
rendering algorithms make it possible to render volumes on a PC at
interactive speeds. Until recently, this technology has only been
available on expensive workstations and mainframes, now Jaguar
Software is making it available on any 386 or higher class PC or
compatible running Windows.

	VoxelBox allows the user to take data, which was formerly
viewed as slices, and view it as a three dimensional cube. Color
values can be directly mapped to the scalar values in the volume to
visualize the data(such as temperature, bone density, matter density,
electron cloud density, etc.). In addition, transparency values can be
mapped to the volume, based on ranges in the scalar field, to
highlight and display the 3D shape of those ranges. This quantum leap
from 2D to 3D visualization of data will give the user a much more
intuitive understanding of their data.

	VoxelBox was designed with the scientist/technical
professional in mind and to that end has a very powerful, yet simple
to use graphical user interface. This includes an extensive on-line
help system, an intuitive bounding box for manipulating the volume, an
easy-to-use color/transparency mapping editor which incorporates
histogram and slice displays, a simple key frame system for
automatically generating animations and a point-and-click interface
for importing custom user data formats. More advanced features include
gradient shading for creating lighting effects on the volume and
shadows and reflections which enhance visualization, especially in
conjunction with animations.

	System requirements are a 386 or 486 based cpu running Windows
3.x, at least 4MB of memory(although 8MB is recommended for very large
volumes), and a video board capable of displaying at least 256
colors(such as Super VGA). If using advanced rendering features, a
coprocessor(i.e., 387 or 486DX) is recommended.

	VoxelBox is now available at an introductory price of
$325(plus 5% sales tax in MA). Jaguar is the leader in 3D
visualization technology on the PC.
