OpenSpirit and INT to Develop OpenSpirit Enabled 3D Viewer

Houston, TX (May 30, 2001): INT and OpenSpirit join forces to develop an OpenSpirit enabled 3D Viewer. Written completely in Java, the viewer will offer platform independent support for 3D visualization of Well, Seismic and Interpretation data. The viewer will be distributed as a free utility within the OpenSpirit runtime environment, and developers who wish to extend the viewer's functionalities may also license INT's J/View3DPro toolkit from INT to help rapidly develop full function, OpenSpirit enabled 3D visualization applications.

"Our goal is to bring economical 3D visualization to the desktop. Integrating INT's visualization tools with the OpenSpirit Application Integration Framework results in a powerful application component that supports both data access and visualization. We want to provide components to developers in the E&P industry that allow them to produce better, more affordable and maintainable applications in less time," said Olivier Lhemann, President of INT.

"The rich set of development tools offered by INT, combined together with the OpenSpirit Application Integration Framework, manage the complex task of visualization and data integration and allows the software developer to focus on improved algorithms and methodologies for finding reserves," said Neil Buckley, CEO of OpenSpirit.

This 3D Viewer complements previously released OpenSpirit enabled Well and Section viewers built upon components of INT's J/GeoToolkit.
