Press Release IPIX Interactive Studio Available with REALVIZ Fisheye Plug-in; Partners Deliver Software with Multiple Options for Stitching Fisheye Photography
COLOGNE, Germany --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 28, 2004 -- IPIX InfoMedia, the world leader for the creation of full 360-degree panoramic photography, and REALVIZ(R), the leading developer of imaging software for creating panoramas, today announced the availability of IPIX Interactive Studio with the award-winning REALVIZ fisheye plug-in extension. The combined solution, which begins shipping today, supports a wider variety of shot-capture modes for fisheye photography resulting in higher resolution panoramic images.
In addition to the easy, two-shot setup for capturing full 360-degree images that IPIX traditionally supports, the REALVIZ fisheye plug-in extends support for 3, 4, and 5 shot capture modes of digital SLR cameras used by professional photographers who require the highest resolution panoramic images possible.
“We are pleased to collaborate with IPIX InfoMedia to introduce a new fisheye stitching engine based on of our well-known REALVIZ Stitcher 4.0 solution,” said Dominique Pouliquen, CEO & Co-founder REALVIZ S.A. “Today we are able to offer through IPIX our stitching technology to customers who have waited for years to leverage the simplicity of fisheye-based panoramic photography.”
The REALVIZ fisheye extension is exclusively available from IPIX InfoMedia as a plug-in to Interactive Studio V1.3.
“Our co-development with REALVIZ solidifies our commitment to provide an open technology platform for the creation of panoramic photography,” said Joseph L. Ortiz, General Manager of IPIX InfoMedia. “This product will allow our customers to capture beautiful images, with outstanding quality, with the simplest capture and production workflow.”
The newly released software provides:
-- A single solution to handle every capture method of fisheye photography, from 2 shots to multiple shots
-- Intelligent auto-stitching feature that takes the guess-work out of panoramic image creation
-- Integrated image editing, compositing and filter tools to easily enhance panoramic images without the expense of stand-alone editing tools
-- Time-saving batch functionality for stitching, capping, scaling, compressing and converting output in order to maximize production efficiency
-- Broad support for multiple output formats -- including Macromedia Shockwave, VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language), X3D and others -- with added control over scaling and resolution
-- Scalable platform with modular plug-ins that accommodate changing photography business needs
Interactive Studio V1.3 including the REALVIZ fisheye plug-in is available for demonstration at the Photokina Trade Fair, September 28, to October 3, 2004, in booth A075 (Hall 14.1). Additionally, a free evaluation version of the software is now available for download at www.ipix.com and allows users to view and test supported functionality, including outputs to various panoramic image formats.
