18 January 2008, Toronto, Canada, and St. Petersburg, Russia - Spatial View Inc. and ASCON are pleased to announce a new development partnership. The alignment pairs ASCON, one of the first and the premiere CAD/CAPP/PDM developer and integrator in Russia, with Spatial View, pioneers in auto-stereoscopic display solutions.

The two companies intend to work closely and cooperate on a number of product development initiatives as well as strategic marketing. Among them the creation of a new Engineering Bundle featuring ASCON's popular CAD software, KOMPAS-3D paired with Spatial View Multi-User displays resulting in excellent, accurate glasses-free visualization of 3D models. Kompas 3D has been successfully used across various industries as a fast and effective CAD solution for 3D solid modeling in automotive, shipbuilding and other industries.

Future efforts will also include direct integration of Spatial View 3D into the next versions release of the KOMPAS-3D software, as well as presentation of joint technology at future trade fairs, like Hannover Messe, an important technology show in April 2008. Joint strategic marketing and coordination with both companies' technology and distribution partners is also planned.

"We're very excited about this partnership with ASCON," says Andreas Kozak of Spatial View. "The SVI-ASCON product combo will be a break through for mid-class companies: a direct, simple, inexpensive solution for construction engineers, designers, developers, and also marketing management. One that features an easy step from CAD to VR as well-useable for discussions, presentations, and analysis-without any extra data to export or any extra VR software or expensive projection systems to purchase."
