Ventuz Acquired By Microsoft?

A while back, there was a lot of noise around a presentation tool from this company “Ventuz“ that was being used for a lot of MS conferences to make super slick 3d-ized PowerPoint presentations. Shortly thereafter, the company disappeared off the map. In fact, now, the “we will be updating our site soon“ message that used to be found at their domain has been replaced with a nice, IE “this page cannot be found“ message. So, will this slick C#/Managed DirectX app be one of the first super slick Longhorn Office upgrades? We'll see, but it wouldn't suprise me in the least.

  • Just a little update on the Ventuz software. It has not been sold to Microsoft. Version One of the software was for internal use/productions only. The second generation of Ventuz will be entering the official beta stage in August/September. The german company Stereolize also added a new trailer on their ftp site with their work at the CeBit 2004.
