Right Hemisphere has acquired Radish Works’ Cosmos Creator, an interactive authoring software environment for creating real-time 3D applications. Now renamed Deep Creator, this software will allow Right Hemisphere customers to create interactive training and simulation content with the absorbing, photo-realistic environments we have come to expect of video games.

Right Hemisphere's flagship Deep Server re-purposes 2D and 3D engineering design data for product support applications. Deep Creator will allow customers to actually interact with that engineering content for more enjoyable and effective computer-based trainings on such things as equipment installation and servicing procedures.

While Right Hemisphere remains committed to openness and still supports third-party 3D authoring applications, CEO Michael Lynch is enthusiastic about bringing both Deep Creator and its chief architect, Michael Bailey, in-house. Tight integration with Right Hemisphere's client and server-based software will deliver an advanced, end-to-end production solution with more automation of the content development process.

With a high-performance 3D engine and an intuitive integrated application development environment, Deep Creator enables the creation of scenes, training applications, games, and learning objects as stand-alone CD-ROM, Intranet, or interactive Web-based applications. You can even create and edit scenes from within a running training application. You can also deliver complex scenes in small files with short download times thanks to the ability to generate procedurally created 3D scene assets that require only that you save the procedure for their creation, without any and all support files.

The new release of Deep Creator will be available in January 2005. Radish Works' existing users will be supported by Right Hemisphere, effective immediately.
