Right Hemisphere Unveils Deep Exploration 6 Client Software to Enable the Visual Enterprise

NASHVILLE, TN, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
PLM WORLD - Right Hemisphere(R), the standard for Visual Enterprise
solutions, today announced a powerful, feature-rich release of its Deep
Exploration(TM) client software. Available in August, Deep Exploration 6
has evolved to become highly integrated into Right Hemisphere's visual
solutions and supporting technology infrastructure. Key new features
include a highly configurable workflow-oriented user interface (UI);
improved ability to view, select and navigate complex 3D models with new
volume selection and real-time massive model navigation; a new XML file
format to facilitate its integration with enterprise systems; and a
completely new photorealistic rendering engine.

"Unifying visual and text-based product information is critical to
enabling the Visual Enterprise. What Deep Exploration does for the Visual
Enterprise is deliver navigation, authoring and repurposing of complex
product information across a wide variety of business workflows," said
Mark Thomas, founder and CTO at Right Hemisphere. "For Deep Exploration
6, we developed a more flexible and configurable user interface. We
wanted to simplify the creation of a wide variety of downstream
deliverables in alignment with the user's specific workflow needs. We've
also made Deep Exploration easier to integrate with our Deep Server
product as well as other enterprise systems in order to help unify and
synchronize visual product information with business data for our
customers who manufacture complex products."

Redesigned, Streamlined and Customizable User Interface

Deep Exploration 6 has a completely redesigned user interface (UI) to
support a variety of different end user tasks, workflows and deliverables.
The new UI is streamlined, customizable, and allows users to optimize
their screen real estate for higher productivity. The heart of the new UI
is the Layout Manager which manages the visibility and order of the
application's tool tabs, facilitating specific functionally oriented
workflows. The tool tabs present only the capabilities and panels
required for the specific task at hand and guide the user through the
necessary steps to create an end deliverable such as a 2D technical
illustration, a set of manufacturing work instructions or a
photorealistic 3D image. Deep Exploration 6 will come standard with a
number of predefined functionally determined layouts as well as offer
users the ability to quickly create their own department-specific
workflow solutions. Additional customization includes the ability to dock
application panels on top of one another to free up more display space
for the 3D model view port.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging

Deep Exploration 6 includes a powerful and entirely new rendering engine
which employs high dynamic range (HDR) imaging technology. HDR imaging
techniques support a wider range of luminance in a 3D scene -- from direct
sunlight to the subtlest of shadows. With this HDR rendering engine, Deep
Exploration 6 users can drag and drop HDR materials, environment maps, and
background images also known as "back plates" into a 3D scene to produce
stunning, hyper-realistic imagery with ease and in minutes. This
technology can significantly reduce the costs associated with product
photography and customer communications.

Enabling Technologies for Visual Navigation

Deep Exploration 6 contains new tools and features to enable users to
navigate, select and review large, complex 3D models. Deep Exploration 6
will allow users to view large CAD assemblies -- of up to 500 million
polygons and 200,000 unique parts or bigger that have been converted by
Right Hemisphere's next generation Deep Server(TM) software available
later this year -- using just standard desktop PCs. The large model
navigation feature allows users to load and interact with these large,
complex models in real time. This capability changes the way content
authors access large product datasets and complex hierarchies to bring
together all the data they need to create illustrations, renderings,
training content or other product related material. Users simply zoom or
navigate to the view of a model they wish to work with and save out that
geometry view for further work.

The navigation of any model is enhanced with the new Volume Select tool in
Deep Exploration 6. Volume Select lets users choose an area of the model
by defining variables of the "geometric envelope" -- the area inside a
square, sphere or rectangle. This tool enables a user to search and
explore the model without having to locate the assembly or part numbers
in the bill of materials (BOM). It's also very useful when a product BOM
varies from its as designed, as built, and as maintained status.

New Solutions Driven by XML

In Deep Exploration 6, the entire scene graph -- or data structure -- can
now be described by XML. Combining the power of the XML-based Deep Server
processing engine with the new XML data structure enables Right Hemisphere
to achieve a more seamless level of integration with customers' existing
enterprise systems. By integrating with customers' existing enterprise
systems, Right Hemisphere and its manufacturing customers can rapidly
create solutions and workflows that accelerate key business processes,
product introductions, time to market, and more.

Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration 6 software will ship in August and be
available in a variety of different license types. For more information,
