REALVIZ was born of the meeting of Luc Robert, a researcher of project ROBOTVIS, with Dominique Pouliquen, an executive of Medialab, a production company then a subsidiary of Canal+, in 1997. They founded REALVIZ with four collaborators in March 1998. By leveraging the computer vision technology developed within project ROBOTVIS, the company develops and markets software for graphics and audio-visual creation. For four years this high tech company thus developed a range of 2D and 3D image processing software for digital special effects and animated computer graphics.
REALVIZ carries out research and develops technology that make it possible to construct a very high quality photorealistic 3D object based on a series of photographs taken from different angles (ImageModeler). It is also possible to design virtual visits of existing environments by combining again a series of photographs (Stitcher). Using two other products (SceneWeaver, MatchMover), the company controls the production and integration of 3D objects into 2D images or sequence of real images, thus creating actual interactive 2D/3D environments. Finally, certain applications such as ReTimer concern the time dimension. It is now possible using ReTimer to generate slow or fast motion from image sequences, in particular by interpolating virtual images between the real images.
REALVIZ intends to strengthen its expansion strategy by continuing to grow in its primary markets (special effects for cinema and advertising, architecture, industrial design, video games) and by ensuring the development of new technology in connection with the Internet, in order to put 3D images and special effects into general use for all digital image users.
REALVIZ is in partnership with Apple, Macromedia, Discreet, Cinesite, KAIDAN, Alias/Wavefront, Dassault Systemes and Intel.

Walking around in a 3D model in real time and with unprecedented rendering is a feat achieved by VSP-Technology. The company was founded in December 2001 by former INRIA members. It is based in Nancy and Paris. VSP-Technology publishes software solutions for lighting simulation in 3D environments and for high performance visualization intended for the automobile, railroad, maritime and aerospace markets. These solutions help industry reduce the costs attached to the design and making of their models.
Candelux is a software package that makes it possible to move around a 3D model in real time. It features unparalleled rendering. The software is primarily of interest to manufacturing automobile, railroad, maritime and aerospace industry.
The technology used in Candelux - in particular the radiosity algorithm - is based on advanced INRIA research in the mathematical representation and lighting of parametric surfaces.
Thus, Candelux complements the digital design line with a leading edge realistic visualization technology, which makes it possible not only to reduce design times and costs and to make the digital line more reliable, but also to boost innovation by opening up the field of design possibilities.
In addition to realistic rendering, the computation of global illumination is obtained in times never attained up to the present: the power of the algorithms results in a reduction of computational time from several days to several hours. Once the computation is done, users can interactively handle the model and modify the intensity of lightings in order to better evaluate the shapes, colors and contrasts of the model under study.
