mental images Unveil RealityServer AppLab for 3D Contents
 SAN
FRANCISCO, CA and BERLIN, Germany, Feb 04, 2010 - mental images, a global
leader in rendering software and visualization tools, and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the NVIDIA Corporation, today unveiled the RealityServer
AppLab toolset at the Imagina conference in Monaco. RealityServer AppLab
allows users to upload 3D content within seconds, and to visualize, share
and interact with it on any Internet connected device.
The graphical user interface, accessible through a standard web browser,
is specifically designed to assist new as well as experienced users with the
evaluation of the RealityServer web application service platform. An
integrated documentation center guides developers through interactive
tutorials and examples, showing them how to create compelling 3D web
services that fit their needs.
“Here at Bertrandt, where we provide product development solutions for
automotive and aerospace industries worldwide, AppLab easily introduces
RealityServer’s technology to first time users and non-developers. It
enables us to quickly achieve tasks that would have required plenty of
manual work and a lot of training before,” said Christoph Martin of the 3D
visualization team at Bertrandt. “AppLab is simple and intuitive and we have
found that its integration of the documentation center is excellent. The
ability to quickly integrate RealityServer content into web sites via
Embedded Codes is also an outstanding feature.”
In addition to the complete feature set of RealityServer AppLab adds an
easy to use management system and off-the-shelf viewing tools. Four key
functions are provided by AppLab, all of which are easily found on the home
screen of the interface:
- Configuration interface allows users to control
operational settings of their RealityServer installation and
restart the server as required
- Documentation, along with interactive tutorials and
examples, is provided via the new Document Center system
which unifies all RealityServer documentation in one
easy-to-navigate location
- Content Management allows users to upload their 3D
assets to RealityServer and automatically insert them into a
viewing application which can be shared with other users
over the Internet
- AppLab also continually monitors the status of the
server
The RealityServer AppLab toolset can be either deployed on a local server
or in the Cloud.
“At mental images we continue to find ways to enhance the user
experience,” said Paul Arden, Product Manager, RealityServer, mental images
“RealityServer AppLab was designed to help users manage their RealityServer
installation entirely through a web interface, making it easier and quicker
for them to work remotely.”
The RealityServer web application service platform is enabling a new
category of web applications to interact with highly complex 3D models, in
life-like quality, on any web-enabled device. RealityServer maintains and
processes its data remotely in the Cloud, allowing it to flexibly scale to
meet application needs while enabling remote collaboration when desired.
Since data itself never leaves the server, intellectual property remains
secure and critical design decisions can be made anytime, anywhere.
RealityServer includes the new GPU-accelerated rendering technology iray
rendering solution which takes advantage of the NVIDIA CUDA parallel
processing architecture, allowing for incredibly fast rendering speed while
maintaining the highest quality final-frame output.
A demo of RealityServer AppLab will be available at the NVIDIA Booth
A19-A24 during the Imagina Conference.
A video showing RealityServer AppLab and a free download of RealityServer
AppLab, together with the free RealityServer Developer Edition is available

The RealityServer Developer Edition comes with a license for development
and testing of RealityServer applications as well as for the non-commercial
deployment of such applications.
