	 	4.	 	ASC representative: Simon A. Vreeke, General Supervisor, Engineering Services.
	 
	 	5.	 	Description of Phase II Services to be performed;

	 	5.1	 	Introduction

5.1.1. During Phase I of the Project, the vnp2 program was extended and
enhanced to read Eclipse (“ECL”) format data files. Layer, time step and
well-path data are now supported in vnp2 and can be seen and felt in the
desktop environment. Data sets on the order of 500,000 cells were used
during Phase I and preliminary experiments indicated that utilization of the
RTVIZ volumePro line of volume graphics acceleration cards can enable
data sets of 500,000 cells and larger to be interactively rendered on a PC,

5.1.2. The primary objective of Phase II is to further refine and extend the
vnp2 software to interactively render ECL data sets of the size currently in
use by SAUDI ARAMCO in its reservoir modeling and production efforts.
Full support for the volumePro volume graphics card will be added to the
vnp2 software to interactively render ECL data sets of approximately one (1)
to three (3) million cells (“Full volumePro Support”). Further, the ability to
constrain visualization and interaction to a subset of the data (“Constrained
Data Sculpting”) as well as the ability to save and load/ re-load overall
program state (“Persistence/ State Saving”) will be added to vnp2 software.

voxelNotepad2 Phase II Prototype

Software Project

	 	5.2	 	Summary of vnp2 Software Phase II modifications

	 	5.2.1.	 	Full volumePro Support.

	 	•	 	Enhance vnp2 software by adding volumePro 500 series graphic
card(s) to interactively render one (1) to three (3) million ECL cells,
	 
	 	•	 	Make (i) modifications to current vnp2 software architecture to
support data sets of one (1) to three (3) million ECL cells and (ii)
specific upgrades to utilize volumePro hardware, including
modifications to interface graphics depth buffer with volumePro.
	 
	 	•	 	Add full visualization parameter, depth buffer, clipping plane and
interactive cursor support for the volumePro cards to vnp2.

	 	5.2.2.	 	Constrained Data Sculpting.

	 	•	 	Enhance vnp2 software’s ability to define a subset of layer data to be
visually and haptically rendered.
	 
	 	•	 	The enhancements will be achieved by using collections of “bounding
planes,” which will constrain the visual renderings and haptic
interaction cursor, thus allowing the user to select a rectangular
sub-set of the ECL data set and volume by specifying six (6) bounding
planes (i.e., two planes for each major axis of the data set).

	 	5.2.3.	 	Persistence/ State Saving.

	 	•	 	Add the ability to save and re-load the current working state (which
includes, without limitation, the entire data set and all visualization
parameters) of the vnp2 program at any time during the operation of
vnp2.
	 
	 	•	 	The addition of the save and re-load functions will enable users to
save the current working state, exit the program, and return to the
program and immediately continue to work at the program exit
location.
	 
	 	•	 	Specific modifications include: (i) updating vnp2 software so that all
relevant state information (“State Class Information”) is retained in a
centralized location known as the “State Class”; (ii) reading and
writing routines needed to save and load the State Class information;
and, (iii) updating the user interface to support the reading and
writing routines so that each user is queried or prompted on program
exit to save the State Class Information.

	 	5.3	 	Deliverables

5.3.1. NOVINT will deliver to SAUDI ARAMCO vnp2 prototype program
executables.

5.3.2. NOVINT will grant SAUDI ARAMCO internal use of vnp2 prototype
license for evaluation and demonstration within SAUDI ARAMCO.

Exhibit 10.10

CONTRACT NO. 6400711368/03

It is hereby agreed that this Amendment to Contract Number 6400711368/00 dated April 10,
2001, as amended, between ARAMCO SERVICES COMPANY (“ASC”) and NOVINT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“NOVINT”
OR “CONTRACTOR”), shall govern additional services to be performed by NOVINT (hereinafter referred
to as “Phase III Services” related to the Multimodal Interaction Techniques for Reservoir Modeling
Project:

	A.	 	JOB SPECIFICATION FOR PHASE III PROJECT:

	 	1.	 	Approximate date Phase III Services will commence: April 1, 2003.
	 
	 	2.	 	Approximate period of Phase III Services: 16 weeks.
	 
	 	3.	 	ASC Representative: Bob Finley, Supervisor, Engineering
Services.
	 
	 	5.	 	Description
of Phase III Services to be performed:

	 	5.1.	 	Introduction

5.1.1. The main goals of the Phase 3 vnp2 effort are to further refine and
extend the voxelNotepad2 software to support simultaneous interactive
visual, haptic and auditory (i.e., multimodal) rendering of multiple
reservoir properties. In addition, the voxelNotepad program’s ECL loading
and rendering performance will continue to be improved and stereographic
visual rendering will be added. Particular attention will be paid to the
time required to load and time step through ECL data. Finally, in order to
support a wider evaluation of vnp2 by ARAMCO, a PHANTOM Desktop haptic
interface device, along with any required supporting graphics and sound
rendering boards and equipment, will be delivered to SAUDI ARAMCO via Aramco
Services Company in Houston, Texas.

	 	5.2.	 	Key Tasks

5.2.1. Multiple Volume Support

This task involves modifying vnp2 to handle loading multiple reservoir
properties during the same session. Up to three ECL properties and their
associated volumes will be able to be loaded during a given session. The
user will be able to independently select which property/volume (if any)
gets associated with the visual, haptic and auditory rendering channels. A
single

1

 

CONTRACT NO. 6400711368/03

volume/property can be associated with one or more of the rendering channels. Only one
volume/property, however, can be associated with any given rendering channel for
interactive rendering. Currently vnp2 only supports the visual and haptic rendering of a
single property/volume. The voxelNotepad2 program’s user interface and architecture will be
modified to handle loading multiple properties/volumes and allocate them to different rendering
modalities. One key aspect of the architectural changes is to allow the “haptic” and “sound”
volumes such that we don’t cut down our ability to handle a “large” volume by two-thirds (i.e., due
to memory usage). We will likely do some fast caching scheme to handle this since the haptic and
sonic rendering systems are only looking at a small portion of a volume at any given time.

5.2.2. Sound Support

This task involves modifying the vnp2 program to support the generation of sound for sensing
global events and for interactively rendering property values at the location of the 3D cursor
using sound.

5.2.3. Using Sound to Monitor Global Events

The vnp2 program will be extended to allow the definition and evaluation of one or more
condition/alarm pairs. These pairs define and constitute an event. The condition relates a
reservoir property to a specific value using a Boolean expression (e.g., oil saturation > 0,
pressure <= 5200). An alarm is a sound generated by playing a sound file. If a condition is met
(i.e., the Boolean expression evaluates to true), its associated alarm is triggered and the sound
is played. Events are evaluated whenever new properties/volumes are loaded or the time step is
changed.

A condition can be compound and involve multiple distinct reservoir properties. An example of a
compound Boolean expression is:

(AND (pressure > 500) (pressure <= 5200))

The following expression is an example of the use of multiple properties:

(AND (oil_saturation > 0) (pressure <= 5200)) The program will allow conditions involving any
reservoir property to be specified. A condition, however, can only trigger events when all the
reservoir properties referenced by the condition are loaded.

2

 

CONTRACT NO. 6400711368/03

The vnp2 program’s user interface and architecture will be modified to support the
definition, saving, loading and evaluation of sound global events. Both MP3 and MIDI sound files
will be able to be associated with events.

5.2.4. Using Sound to “Animate” a Value of a Property

This task involves modifying vnp2 to perform interactive sound rendering. The ability to
generate, save and load, frequency-based “sound maps”, very similar to the haptic and visual maps
currently found in vnp2, will be added. A single volume/property will be able to be associated with
the currently loaded sound map and the sound frequency associated with the value of that property
at the current 3D cursor location will be played.

The vnp2 program’s user interface and architecture will be modified to support the creation,
editing, saving and loading of sound maps. Sound frequency control will be added using a MIDI
interface subsystem that is capable of utilizing the PC sound card’s on-board MIDI capabilities as
well as external MIDI capable devices.

5.2.5. Miscellaneous Enhancements

Several miscellaneous enhancements will be made to vnp2 during the Phase 3 effort:

5.2.5.1. Ability to Operate without a Haptic Device

Currently, vnp2 requires that a haptic interface device be attached in order for the
program to operate in an error-free manner. The voxelNotepad2 program will be modified so
that it can operate error-free on PCs that are not outfitted with a haptic device.

5.2.5.2. Ability to Generate Stereoscopic Visual Feedback

Currently, the vnp2 program generates monoscopic imagery. It will be extended during the
Phase 3 effort to support and generate frame-sequential stereoscopic imagery. When in
stereoscopic mode, LCD shutter glasses (e.g., Stereographies LCD glasses) are required in
order to view the imagery in stereo.

3

 

CONTRACT NO. 6400711368/03

The vnp2 program will be modified in order to generate frame sequential stereo
pairs. In addition, the user interface and architecture will be modified to support the
control of basic stereographic parameters including inter-axial separation and zero depth
plane location.

	 	5.2.5.3.	 	Modify Initial Volume Orientation to Correspond to ARAMCO Norms

Currently, the orientation and location visual imagery generated by vnp2 does not
correspond to visualization norms used by ARAMCO (i.e., the data is rotated and there is a
flip of east-west data). The vnp2 program will be modified so that, when loaded, data is
the proper orientation and form for visualization by ARAMCO.

5.2.6.
Performance Improvements

The performance of the voxelNotepad2 program continues to be as critical to its
utility as its feature set. At the end of the Phase 2 effort, vnp2 was capable of
interactively visualizing data sets of approximately 1 million cells. These data sets
could be viewed, rotated, translated and zoomed at interactive rates (i.e., approximately
30Hz). Initial loading times for property data and the time required to move between time
steps, however, is still less than optimal. Some tests indicate initial ECL data load
times of 300 seconds for 1 million cells. The loading of “pre-processed” ECL data
(including for time stepping purposes) is on the order of 60 seconds. During Phase 3 of
the effort, we will significantly improve the voxelNotepad2 program’s loading and time
stepping performance. Our goal is to be able to load and time step pre-processed 1 million
cell data sets in 15 seconds or less. In addition, we will explore the vnp2 programs’
performance and possible improvements for data sets up to and including 10 million cells.

The vnp2 program’s loading and time stepping code will be significantly optimized during
the Phase 3 effort. We will modify the vnp2 pre-processing algorithms and code to
directly save property and time step access information. In addition, we will optimize
the vnp2 program’s in memory data caching system to work efficiently with 1 million cell
and larger data sets. Finally, we will characterize the program’s performance on data
sets larger than 1 million cells and identify possible avenues to supporting data sets up
to and

4

 

CONTRACT NO. 6400711368/03

including 10 million cells.

	 	5.3.	 	Deliverables

The deliverables for the Phase 3 effort are:

	 	5.3.1.	 	voxelNotepad2 Prototype program executables.

	 
	 	5.3.2.	 	
 Documentation including a User Manual and Installation instructions in Microsoft
Word format.
	 
	 	5.3.3.	 	Internal use of vnp2 Prototype license for evaluation and demonstration within
SAUDI ARAMCO.
	 
	 	5.3.4.	 	Hardware to convert a SAUDI ARAMCO computer system to a Phase 3 Multimodal
Workstation. Novint will deliver to ASC (FOB Houston, Texas) hardware to allow an
existing SAUDI ARAMCO computer to do the visual, haptic and sound required for the
Phase 3 voxelNotepad system. This hardware includes: a) a PHANTOM Desktop model
haptic interface device; b) a PCI graphics card capable of operating with the haptic
interface device and of supporting frame sequential stereoscopic graphics; c) sound
interface hardware compatible with the haptic interface device and capable of
supporting real-time MIDI and mp3 sound generation; and d) visual display calibration
hardware required in order to calibrate and properly display vnp2 visual information.
	 
	 	 	 	Please see Attachment 2 for more details on the PHANTOM Desktop model haptic
interface device.
	 
	 	5.3.5.	 	Hardware to upgrade an existing SAUDI ARAMCO Phase 2 Multimodal Workstation to a
Phase 3 configuration. SAUDI ARAMCO currently has a computer system outfitted with a
PHANTOM Desktop model haptic interface device. This system supports the Phase 2
vnp2 software. Additional hardware is required in order to allow this existing system
to fully support Phase 3 voxelNotepad capabilities. Novint will deliver to ASC
(Houston, Texas) hardware to upgrade the existing SAUDI ARAMCO computer system to
the new configuration. This hardware includes: a) a PCI graphics card capable of
operating with the haptic interface device and of supporting frame sequential

stereoscopic graphics; and b) sound interface hardware compatible with the
haptic interface device and capable of supporting real-time MIDI and mp3 sound
generation.

	 	5.4.	 	Timeline

The Phase 3 effort will be completed during calendar year 2003. An approximate timeline is
given below.

In order to facilitate continual improvement and feedback, several “in progress” versions
of vnp2 will be delivered to SAUDI ARAMCO. In addition, the hardware required by SAUDI
ARAMCO to set up a new Multimodal Workstation and to upgrade an existing Phase 2
Multimodal Workstation to a Phase 3 configuration (see the Deliverables section of this

PHANTOM Desktop

	1.	 	Overview

SensAble’s PHANTOM Desktop is designed to have the functionality, ergonomics, aesthetic and
price/point necessary to support mainstream applications. With this system designed for
office desktops, the Power Amplifier assembly has been eliminated, the computer connection
has been simplified and a more aesthetic design has been created. The PHANTOM Desktop
connects to the computer via an extended parallel port (EPP), and is powered by a compact,
universal (110/230VAC) power supply. An Encoder Stylus, which provides 6 degree of freedom
positional sensing, is standard. This PHANTOM supports the range of motion approximate to
hand movement pivoting at the user’s wrist.
