Oculus Info Inc. is providing high-performance business data visualization solutions using the December 19 commercial release of the DirectX® 9.0 graphics library.

A beta participant with Microsoft DirectX 9.0 since May 2002, Oculus has been actively involved with the research and development of two-dimensional and three-dimensional data visualization solutions using the Direct3D graphics environment on Windows 2000, Windows XP and the new Microsoft .NET platform.

Using the new Microsoft .NET languages, specifically C# and VB.NET and the memory managed DirectX libraries, Oculus will be able to provide high performance solutions to new and existing customers on the .NET platform. Leveraging the performance and simplified application programming interface afforded by the new libraries, along with the ease of use of these new .NET programming languages, Oculus can implement high value, tailored visualization solutions that enable people to make more accurate, more informed decisions faster and more cost-effectively.

Microsoft® DirectX® is a set of low-level application programming interfaces for creating high-performance multimedia applications. It includes support for two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics, sound effects and music, input devices, and networked applications.

Oculus is the leading provider of innovative business visualization software solutions for the Fortune 500, federal government agencies and third party software companies.
