Sydney, Australia, October 27, 2010 –(PR.com)– 4D Systems announced today the launch of its new uVGA graphics engine: uVGA-II (SGC). The uVGA-II (SGC) is powered by the popular PICASO-SGC graphics controller from 4D Labs and provides a QVGA/VGA/WVGA graphics solution to virtually any embedded project. The uVGA-II (SGC) includes a multitude of powerful built-in features for graphics, text, image and animation, as well as a simple serial interface for controlling it from any host micro. The uVGA-II (SGC) allows users to simplify development, and significantly reduce development cost and time-to-market for applications requiring an external display interface.

The uVGA-II (SGC) provides a simple interface to a variety of monitors and LCD screens through its 15 pin D-type VGA connector. It supports various resolutions – 320 x 240, 640 x 480, 800 x 480 including custom XY resolution up to 405K. It includes a 5 pin interface to any host device and 2 parallel 11 pin mounting male headers with 2.54mm pitch to form a DIP package. Additionally there are 16 x GPIO pins of which 8 upper bits can be used as an I/O bus for fast 8-bit parallel data transfers. An on-board micro-SD memory card is included for multimedia storage and data logging purposes.

The uVGA-II (SGC) supports RGB 65k true to life colours and can be used to display full colour images, animations, icons and video clips. It sports a comprehensive set of built-in high level graphics functions and algorithms for drawing lines, circles, text and much more. It supports all available Windows fonts and characters (imported as external fonts) and has a dedicated PWM audio pin that supports FAT16 audio WAV files and complex sound generation. The module supports 4.0V – 5.0V single supply operation. The uVGA-II is well suited for a wide range of applications from general purpose embedded graphics and point of sale terminals to automotive system displays and medical instruments.

“We are delighted to finally be able to accommodate the features and functionality present in our smaller range of display module solutions in our uVGA-II module. Many of our customers have been asking for our uVGA-PICASO-MD1 module to support higher resolutions and a higher bit-depth of colours. With support for 65k true to life colours and various resolution options including the possibility for a customized resolution, the uVGA-II module does just that. A brand new version with support for 4DGL will be available in the coming weeks.” – Atilla Aknar, Managing Director, 4D Systems

The uVGA-II (SGC) is available for purchase from your local distributor or reseller, or directly from 4D Systems. Single unit prices for the modules start at 49USD/39EUR. All software tools are available as a free download from 4D Systems’ website at www.4dsystems.com.au.

New York, NY, October 04, 2011 –(PR.com)– 3Defy, today announced the public release of their web-based toolset for the conversion of 2D photos into 3D models. The free service aims to expand the amount of quality online content that is viewable in 3D, by providing an easy way to transform existing 2D content into 3D form.

“The 3D models created with 3Defy are much more realistic than anything previously possible in the field of 2D to 3D photography,” said the company’s Founder Chris Wallace. “Our modeling tools enable users to recreate real-world 3D structure by interacting with the depth and texture of objects within a scene.”

Since commercial cameras are now available which can take 3D photos, the primary benefit of 3Defy is that it leverages the wealth of content which already exists in 2D form. Artists and photographers don’t need to recreate their content portfolios from scratch in 3D, they can use the provided tools to enhance and revitalize 2D work that has already been done.

The release was strategically timed to coincide with Adobe’s upcoming release of Flash Player 11, which makes it possible to deliver sophisticated 3D experiences directly in the browser. 3Defy has been optimized to take advantage of the GPU-accelerated 3D graphics rendering capabilities, and it serves as a demonstration of what is possible with Adobe’s new platform.

3Defy is a software development company which specializes in browser-based 3D software. 3Defy designs, builds, and deploys technology solutions which take advantage of the latest 3D technologies, including Flash Player 11 (Stage 3D/Molehill) and HTML5 (WebGL). “We decided to release our flagship product as a free service, in order to promote our team’s capabilities in the field of web-based 3D software development. We’re actively taking on custom software projects, and 3Defy has been an exciting way for us to showcase our skills.”
