Company Information
QuantumWorks Corporation Digital Division's prime focus is, through the use of innovatively developed and applied
real-time computer graphics visualization, to help companies increase sales, reduce "product" production
costs and reduce time to market with new "products". We broadly define "product" as inclusive
of "digital products"; such as 3D computer graphics content, for say, computer/video games and TV broadcast
or live animation on the web; to "physical products"; such as government-use and consumer products as
diverse as; vehicles, apparel, shoes, watches, sunglasses, sporting goods, architecture, space craft, electronics,
etc.
QuantumWorks is constantly looking to develop new concepts,
approaches, content production tools, media content, products and projects using real-time interactive graphics
technology to bring education, entertainment and edutainment to more compelling, engaging and ultimately more rewarding
levels for target audiences. On the entertainment projects we have worked on in the past we have
always attempted to add rewarding educational components to the content, where appropriate. QuantumWorks
believes the process of creating is equally as important as the final result, and we are looking to work with companies
and people who share a similar vision.
For example, through use of QWC technology and services, companies can become
high output, high quality 3D animation content web-based production studios through creation and integration of
advanced tools. This includes a special focus on rapidly creating educational and entertaining content using digital
characters, props, assets, with a "3D-look" and/or "cel-shaded-look" for web-sites with various
implementation options including dynamic streaming of animation and audio content and live performed and streamed
content.
- The QuantumWorks Corporation team is currently developing new Interactive
Entertainment and Edutainment titles. Additionally QWC is developing a revolutionary new system for Procter
& Gamble. This system will allow advertising creatives to quickly storyboard many "spot" concepts
in 3D, greatly reducing costs and striving for more effective spot design through more concept creation and re-iteration
- this system is called SpotMaster.
- In conjunction with Virtual Celebrity Productions (VCP), QWC led 4 groups
simultaneously in the design and implementation of the Digital Cloning System (DCS). These teams designed and led
development of first the "virtual celebrity" entertainment/advertising based 3D web-site, W.C.Fields, (click here for other references) interactively
giving his Presidential Platform for his bid for President in year 2000.
- Along with Hasbro Toys, QuantumWorks Corporation (QWC) founders co-designed
and co-led the development of the first new generation VR helmet based 3D consumer game system, code names TOASTER, VR or RUSH
and first ten 3D immersive games. QWC founders led the game development in producing 12 prototype SGI based games.
Derivatives of these games made their way to Disney's Disney Quest LBE attractions.
The QWC founders also managed the peripherals design requirements effort.
- The QWC and its' founders have developed, led and consulted in development
of many 3D computer graphics based industry milestones achievements, such as: the Northrop / Air Force Automated
Airframe Assembly Operations Evaluation Simulator called the "Assembly Modeler", reported in
Business Week May 8, 1989, pgs 142-148 (QWC founder co-chaired and designed the new interactive
applications venue, "Tomorrows
Realities Gallery", still part of SIGGRAPH today under different
names at SIGGRAPH in 1991 which debuted this Assembly Modeler application to the public); co-led with Ken
Anderson, the formation of, and developed in 1989 the first NCGA GPC Graphics Performance Picture Level Benchmark
(PLB), now called SPEC_GPC or
SPEC_OPC, to be soon released Kewazinga K-System through MCSQD;
Titan Technologies Digital Secretary; VIVID/JesterTek/GestureTek Kiosk technology applications; the P.C. sports games for AT&T Cybercathlon. Cybercathlon was originally designed
as a Web/CD-ROM hybrid with large prize awards, however, due to large security risks, product was re-configured
into a standalone CD-ROM game, which was distributed to over 300,000 WorldNet subscribers (product was first released
game using Microsoft's new Direct3D DirectX technology); Viewpoint VET output Advanced Digital
Product Sampling Production Pipeline development; producer/art director teamed with Blur of a real-time MoCap production
of a cable channel's interstitial female
news host.
- The QWC team was awarded Top 100 1997 "Top Media Producers" Award
from A/V Video Multimedia Producer Magazine organization for the innovative design and development work on both
the AT&T Cybercathlon Game and new product from QWC, Geppetto - the first PC based real-time character animation tool which can significantly
lower the costs in producing long form animation projects. MCSQD.com Demo Reel contains many
innovative and some "industry firsts" examples of projects QWC team members either designed, produced,
executive produced along with MCSQD and Viewpoint.com executive management.
- QWC and its team members have also been engaged in state-of-the-art engineering
efforts focused at development of new Consumer multi-media product designs, Spacecraft, Space Station & Space
colonization for innovation and economic benefit (Protean Space Station Construction System-
Ollie P. Harwood, SpaceHAB, The America 500 Space Initiative -
Ted (Austin) Ostindien), Aircraft designs (QAC-821 world class utility helicopter, Kulikov Air Fanatic 4 and
KA863) and high performance energy efficient, low emissions
hybrid electric vehicles.
QWC and it's partners are involved with development efforts that are in
various stages of fund raising and engineering that include: QAC-821 helo mentioned above and the L3R_QWC "Hybrid
supercar", a High Performance Hybrid Electric Exotic Sports Car. Product engineering features overview
located here and a product history & description tear sheet
located here.
This team is using their engineering prototype testbed to stage a
cross the country on a tank on a gas Freedom
drive "protest" to show what can be done today by today's
automobile manufacturers. Sponsor flyer on this event located here.
- Members of the QWC team have frequently published in trade journals and
are requested to speak at conferences about a range of topics ranging from; optimizing processes in product development
lifecycles, advanced 3D content development pipelines, game engine technology, advanced computer input devices,
innovative applications of virtual reality/visual simulation technology to optimized interactive software for diverse
computing platforms.
