Multithreaded NovodeX Physics SDK enables game developers to exploit powerful
multicore architecture of next generation Xbox platform
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - March 9, 2005 - AGEIA(TM) Technologies, Inc., a
company dedicated to delivering pervasive interactive reality to next
generation games, announced today that its NovodeX(TM) Physics SDK will enable
unmatched performance for game developers targeting the next generation
Xbox(R) platform. As a result, users of the Xbox video game system from
Microsoft will be able to enjoy some of the most exciting, lifelike game
experiences available on any platform.
As the games industry's first multithreaded physics SDK, NovodeX is
uniquely equipped to exploit the multicore architecture of the Xbox, allowing
game developers to deliver incredibly lifelike worlds and characters for Xbox
users.
"AGEIA's NovodeX Physics SDK is a powerful middleware engine for game
developers who want to make the most of the multicore architecture of the next
generation Xbox platform," said Tracey Frankcom, program manager, Xbox Tools
and Middleware. "The real-time physics capabilities of NovodeX, combined with
the high-definition graphics and audio of the Xbox, enable the creation of
totally immersive environments and unbelievably lifelike character
interactions."
"The next generation Xbox platform is the first available game console
system to unleash the multithreading capabilities of the NovodeX SDK," said
Manju Hegde, CEO and co-founder of AGEIA. "Today marks the beginning of a new
era of hardware-accelerated physics for developers and users alike, in which
pervasive interactive realism enters the world of gaming."
