Future Point System’s Starlight Visual Information System™ is an advanced information visualization technology that enables information analysts to graphically manipulate, understand, and act on very large quantities of complex and disparate information.
By generating pictures of relationships among items in large information collections, and placing those relationships in meaningful contexts, Starlight enables analysts to apply their natural visual pattern recognition and spatial reasoning skills to information comprehension and problem solving. This approach accelerates and improves understanding, and enables users to work with larger quantities of information than previously possible. With Starlight, you not only find the information you need, you See What It Means™. Starlight enables information analysts to derive new value from previously difficult to process information types such as text documents, Web pages, news stories, and other forms of unstructured and semi-structured text.
Future Point Systems selected VSG’s Open Inventor 3D graphics engine for use in Future Point’s Starlight Visual Information System™ product. Open Inventor® is an object-oriented, cross-platform 3D graphics toolkit for the development of industrial-strength interactive 3D graphics applications. VSG and Open Inventor provide Future Point Systems rapid application prototyping and development, multithreaded graphics API, automatic rendering optimization, mature, stable, and robust technology and outstanding customer support.
“Open Inventor provides us with a 3D graphics platform that supports rapid prototyping of new visualization tools, yet is scalable enough for production use. This makes it easy for us to transition new capabilities from initial concept to final product.” says John Risch, CTO, Future Point Systems, Inc. “In addition; the Open Inventor development team has been extremely responsive to our needs. On several occasions they have incorporated features we have specifically requested into their product. We have been very pleased with both the responsiveness of VSG, and with the Open Inventor product.”
