Our vision is for all online e-commerce
websites to provide customers with interactive photorealistic virtual
versions
of their products, as opposed to the current thumbnails or small
still images currently used. |
A-Lab Software's mission statement
is to provide companies and individuals with the above interactive
photorealistic virtual versions of their products faster and cheaper than anybody else.
To achieve this, we have pioneered new ways to create web 3D content, looking for ways to speed
up its creation, its quality, and ultimately reducing its cost to produce. |
A-Lab Software, formally Black Knight Productions was formed in
1997, our first ventures into the world of 3D were using the 3D
authoring product Caligari
trueSpace, for which we programmed a number of plugins, adding
additional functionality and productivity, the most well known plugin
we created is called Puppeteer-tSX, a 3D character animation tool.
As well as producing plugins for trueSpace, we also honed our
skills with the product to produce lots of 3D models and animations.
In 2005, we expanded our progamming knowledge, and used DarkBasic Professional to produce our own standalone Windows 3D application called TRACKCreator3D for designing slot car tracks in realtime 3D.
In 2006, we started looking at ways to use 3D online to show
products as they are in real life, and to give customers the chance to
investigate a product and learn about its features prior to making a
purchase.
We looked at the current solutions available, and looked for new and far cheaper ways to produce web 3D content.
In September 2006, we were asked to produce a one off example of a product for a company called Eurotherm,
who produce a large range of industrial plant and processing
instruments from sensors, signal controllers and indicators thorugh to
graphical paperless data recorders, and integrated process automation
equipment.
They
were so impressed with our initial one off example, that they asked us
to produce almost all their current product instrumentation range.
In
2007, we changed our name to A-Lab Software, and are now working
towards our Vision and Mission Statements to help other companies
benefit from our services and increase their customers awareness about
their products through interactive web 3D content, and ultimately
increase product sales! |
