In a surprising move, Intel’s Havok division (the physics SDK developer that Intel bought a few years back) has just acquired Trinigy and their 3D Vision Engine.  It’s a surprising move for Intel, who dropped their Larrabee and Project Offset projects long ago.  For Havok tho, this may be an attempt at growing their physics SDK to include cross-platform gaming.

“The team at Trinigy is very excited by the opportunity to join Havok.” said Felix Roeken, General Manager of Trinigy.  “Havok and Trinigy have been partners for a number of years and both companies share very similar philosophies about how technology should be built and delivered to customers.  We are confident that this acquisition will be very positive for Trinigy’s customers and employees.”
