AVS just released a new version of their visualization tool OpenViz, which seems to offer some interesting new features aimed at the growing infographics and unstructured data spaces.

• Color gradients, lighting effects, shadows and unique perspective can be applied to any data visualization to help users detect subtle nuances in the data that would otherwise go unnoticed;
• Custom 2-D and 3-D shapes and infographics can be created to capture the behavior of sometimes-unwieldy data formats such as social media, sensor data and market measures; and
• Data architects and solution designers can collaborate on novel ways to exploit larger data volumes and deliver innovative results to decision-makers via integrated cloud, desktop and mobile strategies.

Support is currently for Visual Studio 2005 (VC++ 8) and AVS/Express 7.2, Visualization Edition, Developer Edition and RHEL3, Gcc 3.2, RHEL5 (32-bit), and RHEL5 (64-bit). The current VRPN version is 7.22 plus local patches and bug fixes in 3DConnexion driver.

It functions as an implementation of the Virtual Reality Peripheral Network (VRPN), so many other devices are available as well.
