Nvidia GPU Technology Conference, Final Day 3
The Exhibits:
Next we saw over 60 exhibits in one large room. Nvidia regrets that they were not able to allow more companies to present and promises that next year, there will be more room. Of course, there are many exhibits we did not cover, but here are a few interesting highlights of what is available and what is coming.
Here is Scalable Technologies:
The conference must have been very successful for Scalable Display Technologies, a leading provider of software for multi-projector display systems. Today, October 6, they announced record sales for the third quarter, driven by increasing demand for high-resolution displays in a variety of markets.
Scalable Display’s patented software, EasyBlend™, simplifies and automates the creation of seamless, ultra high-resolution displays. EasyBlend enables users to automatically align, edge-blend and color-match multi-projector displays on screens of any size or geometry, with just a few clicks of a mouse.
Three leading integrators placed volume orders for Scalable Display’s EasyBlend during the quarter, including Immersive Display Solutions (IDSI), a provider of turnkey immersive simulators for military and commercial applications; BOI Solutions, a provider of visualization and meeting collaboration services and products; and VDC Display Systems, which specializes in the design and manufacture of projector systems for the simulation and training community. Video Display Corporation’s (NASDAQ:VIDE order represented the largest channel order for the military market in Scalable Display’s history.
“Our dealer network and our sales continue to grow as the demand for high-resolution, multi-projector displays increases,” said Andrew Jamison, CEO of Scalable Display Technologies. “It is clear that the ease of use, quality and reliability of our technology has made it the software of choice for display system providers and integrators.”
We visited Prometech Software that specializes in high performance simulation and high end graphics. Tekken 6 (arcade version) is using their new Octave Engine which allows sand, water and the sky to be combined into one simulation; for example, the sand can be raised and lowered and interact with the water and other objects in real-time.”
Then on to DuxSoft.
And Nova
And of course we visited Visioglobe who released a full 3D representation of Paris that can be used in handheld mobile devices.
Naturally, everyone needs a touch-screen LCD when Windows7 is released. Loilo Touch releases with Win7 this month and features video editing so simple that children can use it.
The GPU servers are impressive. Here are a couple of Tesla servers from SuperMicro:

How about this interactive computer vision 3D Vision game demo from softkinetic? Jensen shows us his moves as he attempts to fit into the shapes as they flow on the screen – to dance music – on this 3D display:
It looks like he needs a little practice for next year’s event. I hope to see you and him there for GTC 2010.
