Market Opportunity

With the evolution of communication, networking, and computing technologies, information and data can be researched, reviewed, and downloaded anytime and any place in the world. As the Internet has evolved, it has become, not only an information provider, but an incredible force in business and the manner in which businesses are being run today - specifically in e-commerce and business-to-business.
Research indicates that 3D graphics adds significant value and provides a better understanding of information and data that would be normally viewed in the flat 2D world. Significant technological advancements have occurred over the last 5 years, enabling 3D graphics to be displayed on desktop computers as opposed to expensive high end machines - consequently enhancing the value of information.
The next step in this evolution is to bring the value of 3D to the web.
The bandwidth limitation in the Internet technology is limiting the implementation of 3D visualization, as we know it today.
TGS has developed advanced technologies and applications that facilitate the ease of development, creation, and diffusion of interactive 3D graphic content from desktop applications, specifically web browsers and viewers.

 

Missions Statement

TGS will establish itself as a market leader in delivering 3D media to the Internet.
