This software produces MicroScribe compatibility for applications lacking native MicroScribe support and contains a robust feature set. Immersion created a new version of MicroScribe Utility Software, formerly called InScribe. Similar to the first MicroScribe, optical encoders are located in each of the five joints, while a custom microchip resides in the base and calculates the XYZ position of the tip. The industrial design of the articulated mechanical arm features a new slate colored finish, a significant departure from the original bordeaux finish. USB also increases the data transfer rate from the MicroScribe to your design software. Portability is an important feature for designers who need the flexibility of connecting the MicroScribe to their laptop anywhere they go. The new USB port allows designers to plug the MicroScribe G2 into their laptop or desktop computer without the need for a separate power module. The new MicroScribe has two communication ports, USB and RS-232 serial. The 3D model can then be manipulated electronically on your desktop. Then, the information is translated into data points, processed by your design software and a 3D rendering will appear on your screen. This movement tracks the contours of the car, and the MicroScribe takes the measurements for you.

Designers can use most standard software applications with the MicroScribe to transform the data sets generated from the tracing points, lines or other geometric shapes into an accurate digital rendering of the object.įor example, if you want to capture the dimensions of a race car, you take the tip of the MicroScribe and trace points along the outside of the car. With the MicroScribe G2, a designer can create a digital version of a physical object by using the tip of the articulated arm to trace the contours of the object to build complex 3D data sets. Immersion 3D products, like the MicroScribe, continue to provide these industries with the tools required to meet their design demands.'

The demand for 3D-related content continues to grow in the gaming, computer animated film, industrial design and medical industries.

'Immersion developed this new product in response to customer feedback on the original MicroScribe, introduced in 1996.

'The MicroScribe G2 is the most cost-effective, fully portable 3D digitizing product available on the market today,' said Greg Belaus, director of the 3D business group for Immersion. The new MicroScribe G2 is compatible with all existing MicroScribe software.

The MicroScribe G2 allows design engineers, game developers, animators and industrial designers to physically capture the properties of 3D objects and translate them into digital 3D models, which can be virtually manipulated, in a matter of minutes. SAN JOSE, Calif., - Immersion Corporation, (NASDAQ: IMMR), a leading developer of 3D and force-feedback products and technologies, today released the MicroScribe(TM) G2, a new line of 3D digitizing products that provide faster data transfer and more portability than previous models.
