These API tool kits pro vide programmers and application developers with the right set of tools and techniques to allow creation of powerful oil and gas applications. API tools provide geoscientists with methods to create 3-D virtual worlds. Th tools allow data, objects and controls t be easily defined and applied to the virtual world. The APIs are the underlying software that support these immersive environments. Critical hidden relationships, important events, boundaries and intervals become accessible and clear using immersive technology.
Immersion allows the eyes to pickup subtle data changes in real time.
A new API has been introduced to support developing oil and gas applications with performance improvements 10 to 100 times greater than the previous libraries and toolkits. This API introduced the breakthrough concept of a volumetric primitive, which enables mixing of volume and geometric objects, deformation of the shape of a volume, volumetric and geometry data coexisting within a scene, and shading and picking in 3-D volumes. The new API allows standard graphics applications to treat volumetric and surface data the same, and provides features such as the ability to roam through extremely large data sets of up to 100 gigabytes in real time. Advanced visual computing solutions are gaining steady momentum in the industry. providing asset teams the ultimate resource for managing, interpreting and sharing their data. He specializes in developing computer concepts and technology for oil and gas exploration and production.
