Custom Content and Software Development

QuantumWorks Corporation offers custom graphics software development, specializing in 3D graphics based PC and web-based rich media applications, intended for "human users", ranging from new authoring tools (such as the SpotMaster tool shown on left), games, engineering product simulation to animation plug-in design. (SpotMaster sample Mr. Clean video click here , ERA sample , SWIFFER sample)

For needed software intended for human users, an important part of our services, is to help our clients spend their development funds wisely, by focusing our "modified spiral/iterative" software development methods, not only on the actual application development, but also to use these development methods on the creation of the OPTIMAL APPLICATION DESIGN, prior to commencing relatively expensive software development. This strategy has been proven by industry leaders to not only save companies immediate development funds but over the product lifecycle, through actual usage, greater savings are realized.

Custom Application Development Examples:

AT&T Cybercathlon game
QWC designed and produced a special type of interactive experience tied into AT&Ts Olympics involvement called Cybercathlon. Cybercathlon was originally designed as a Web/CD-ROM hybrid with large prize awards. Due to large security risks, product was re-configured into CD-ROM game which was distributed to over 300,000 WorldNet subscribers.
Procter & Gamble (P&G) SpotMaster
QWC proposed, designed and developed a revolutionary new system for P&G which will allow advertising creatives to quickly storyboard many "spots or ad" concepts in 3D & 2D, greatly reducing costs and striving for more effective breakthrough advertising through more concept creation and re-iteration. This application was built from the QWC ConceptMaster technology code base.
Interplay
3D baseball visual game engine development work
Vivid / JesterTek
Provided system technical business planning development work for a new interactive kiosk system for retail store outside glass based operation.
Virtual Celebrity Productions
Spun-off QWC "Geppetto" character animation technology & led advanced photo-real computer graphics facial animation system research, design and development - created with VCP team the "Digital Cloning System" - new type of feedback animation system developed praised by leading animation production houses. This 1999 technical paper describes one of the latest applications of Geppetto technology. ICCV99.pdf (~600K)
Hasbro
Under contract to Hasbro Toys, QuantumWorks Corporation (QWC) founders co-designed and co-led the development of the first new generation VR helmet based 3D consumer game system, code names TOASTER, VR or RUSH and first ten 3D immersive games. Dedicated efforts as part of three executive team leading the three year development of the Hasbro "VR", or "RUSH" or "Toaster" (3D video gaming system, the first helmet-mounted-display, a.k.a. "HMD", 3D visual and audio video gaming system); the software development system and the Executive Production of the first ten 3D VR immersive games. Co-design of two of these games. QWC founders led the game development in producing 12 prototype SGI based games. Derivatives of these games made their way to Disney Quest LBE attractions. The QWC founders also managed the peripherals design requirements effort.
