10:00am - 16:00pm
New Zepler(59), Seminar Room 1

Invitation & Programme



We would like to invite you to the Visual Simulation Technologies Day on Thursday, 24th January 2002 in the Department of ECS at the University of Southampton.

Antycip UK, a partner with Southampton University, would like to extend this invitation for you to attend on-campus technoloy to discover the latest in simulation technologies and how these technologies could relate to your department and focus.

Antycip as part of Groupe Convergie specialises in providing interactive virtual-reality or visual simulation solutions to Academia, Military and commercial clients. Their extensive portfolio positions them as a true platform independant supplier allowing you to compare competitive technologies first hand from hardware image generators to real-time software tools to display solutions.

Attendance is free and coffee will be provided. If you are unsure about how to find us, please refer to
