IGM Ltd.
Innovates Geological, Geochemical and Geophysical Discovery with
Data Visualization Technology from Advanced Visual Systems
AVS/Express,
a comprehensive data visualization toolset from Advanced Visual
Systems, has enabled IGM
Ltd., a leader in earth science data analysis, to develop decision-enhancing
3D graphics in its acclaimed GeoExpress software. The integration
of IGM’s interpretation software with AVS’ data visualization technology
has produced one of the sectors most profound tools for interactive
visualization, research and project analysis of geological, geochemical
and geophysical data.
IGM was formed in 1999 to develop ground-breaking solutions to the
problems earth scientists face when analyzing and presenting complex
datasets from a variety of sources. GeoExpress,
the company’s first commercial product was born from this philosophy
and has utilized AVS/Express as the visualization engine since its
initial release.
As a direct result of the AVS-rendered visualizations, users can
interactively explore a wide range of domain-specific data formats
on all Microsoft Windows platforms and quickly reach conclusions
that would otherwise require extensive procedures on more expensive
and complex systems. Additionally, AVS/Express enables the development
of highly functional data readers and writers, allowing seamless
data handling and eliminating the need for the creation and management
of secondary databases.
According to Frank Arnott, Technical Director of IGM, “AVS/Express
has enabled us to provide our users with an exceptional degree of
insight to the many complexities of earth science data. Its powerful
development methodology, rich visualization techniques and dynamic
performance on the PC platform have provided IGM with a solid foundation
for our product strategy.”
AVS/Express
enables rapid, object-oriented development of rich and highly interactive
scientific and technical data visualizations for Digital, HP, IBM,
SGI, Sun and Windows systems. Now in its seventh year of release,
AVS/Express is widely considered the world’s most popular software
in scientific, academic and technical deployment. Designed for use
by users with either no or highly advanced programming skills, AVS/Express
is offered in several editions that exploit nearly every contemporary
or legacy data format and can be deployed in a wide range of configurations.
