Vue - A Return To Computer Graphics For Silicon Graphics
By DavePF | November 3, 2008
Silicon Graphics is best recognised as a hardware company, with a long and glorious history of technological innovation, fantastic products, and powerful graphics. Less well known is the large amount of software produced by Silicon Graphics. Along with normal products such as compilers and graphics tools, Silicon Graphics also contribute heavily to Open Source projects.
The companies’ latest software offering, on the other hand, represents a major departure for Silicon Graphics. The VUE suite is a collection of software that, put simply, allows remote visualisation. Using VUE users are able to show detailed graphics on devices as simple as PDAs and laptops.
VUE stands for Visual User Experience, and is made up of five separate software components.
FusionVUE combines multiple sources of information, producing an easy to use graphical display. SoftVUE converts any standard platform into part of a visualisation and computing platform. PowerVUE provides powerful realtime visualisation. RemoteVUE allows the remote display of complex graphics. Finally, EventVUE provides a realtime graphical overview of complex situations or events.
It’s clear that the VUE suite has the potential to replace many powerful workstations on users’ desks, relying instead on the abilities of a expensive compute system in a data centre. Playing to many of Silicon Graphics recent offerings, the VUE suite promises a return to Silicon Graphics groundbreaking lead in visualisation.
