A forensics laboratory here is using a sophisticated computer system to reproduce crime scenes, re-creating everything from the path of a bullet to the movement of a corpse with startling realism. The first-of-its-kind system, powered by a visualization system from Silicon Graphics (NYSE: SGI), is located at Rome’s RiTriDEC (Ricostruzione Tridimensionale della Dinamica dell’Evento Criminale)
laboratory.

To increase the level of realism when evaluating virtual vehicles and to accelerate its adoption by industry, scientists at Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) have selected the Silicon Graphics Prism(TM) platform from SGI (NYSE: SGI) to solve a new class of data and rendering intensive problems never before possible in virtual environments. Using Virtual Drive, physical prototypes become unnecessary and test drives of many different variants can be performed in the very early stages of vehicle design — reducing costs, accelerating work flows and
resulting in more mature products.
