Description of Organisation
Digital ArtForms are experts in immersive interaction and visualization. Since 1998 they have developed cutting-edge tracked applications for several markets, including Design, Military, Security, Training, and Medicine. With funding and oversight from the U.S. Army’s Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) Digital ArtForms developed and validated iMedic3D, a fully immersive DICOM visualization system that employs a novel and powerful Two-Handed Interface (THI). In a major study conducted for TATRC, THI was shown to be up to 9 times as efficient as the mouse in the performance of fundamental 3D tasks.
