MultiGen-Paradigm serves as the founding member of USA, and additional launch members include: Bergmann Associates, Rochester, N.Y.; Environmental Simulation Center, Ltd., New York, N.Y.; The Philadelphia Virtual Reality Center, Philadelphia, Pa.; Engineering & Computer Solutions, Inc., Orlando, Fla.; EDS Virtual Reality Center, Detroit, Mich.; and the UCLA Urban Simulation Team, Los Angeles, Calif. USA Program member firms provide realtime 3D visualization services to their clients within the AEC and GIS industries. The primary objectives of the USA Program are to promote awareness of the realtime 3D market within the AEC/Urban Planning and GIS communities and to raise visibility of the companies that provide realtime 3D products and services. Current USA Program members offer expertise within the areas of architectural visualization, urban planning/design, transportation simulation, and 3D GIS. The USA Program is being announced in conjunction with the American Planning Association's national conference in Seattle, April 24th through April 29th. "We are pleased to offer this program to companies that are already providing 3D visualization services to their customers. Through concerted marketing efforts, we will help our USA Program members gain exposure to key 3D visualization customers," said Jonathan Zucker, urban simulation market manager, MultiGen-Paradigm. "MultiGen-Paradigm recognized that it is truly the 'time for realtime' for Urban Simulation - this notion is fueled by the fact that we are able to offer our USA Program partners a complete modeling and simulation solution on the NT platform." "Many of our customers to whom we have shown realtime urban simulations have been enthusiastic, but did not know how to initiate and implement successful urban simulation projects," said Jay Kidd, vice president of marketing, MultiGen-Paradigm. "The USA Program is designed to bring these interested customers together with services firms who can help them use this exciting new technology."
