Today with TGS directing its strategy toward bringing 3D to the web, TGS has
developed a significant strategic relationship with Intel. Subsequent
to the Intel® Pentium® III release, in which TGS participated, Intel
displayed significant interest in the TGS technology, specifically as it related
to 3D and the web. Consequently, Intel requested that TGS prepare a demo of
the 3D media player technology for the launch of Intel's Willamette Architecture
in Q3 2000, which has been funded by Intel directly. Intel has committed to
supporting TGS in their initiatives specifically with regards to marketing,
hardware, and engineering resources. As a result of this relationship, TGS has
met with the Intel Capital Group, who has expressed interest in a strategic
investment in TGS.
In February 1999, TGS participated in the Intel Pentium® III preview day
in Santa Clara demonstrating the PIII-optimized release of the Amapi 3D modeler
and introduced the 3D media player technology for the Internet.
