Massive Exhibits at CeBIT 2008

Company Showcases Massive Software Applications in Markets Outside of Entertainment, including Engineering and Robotics

Monday 3 March 2008

Massive software announced today that it will be exhibiting at CeBIT as part of the New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE) stand along with other exemplary New Zealand–based technology innovators. CeBIT, the world's largest IT and telecommunications trade show, is hosting its first–ever New Zealand Day, created to recognize and celebrate New Zealand's innovative technology and unique culture. CeBIT takes place March 4–9 in Hanover, Germany.

As part of Massive’s exhibit, representatives from Hanson Robotics will be on hand to demonstrate Zeno, the first AI–driven robot using the breakthrough artificial intelligence (AI) software from Massive to reason and get smarter over time.

Hanson Robotics partnered with Massive, the developer of AI simulation software used in films such as the "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy, "Happy Feet," "Ratatouille," and more, to design a robot that is able to view a 3D mental image of its environment to determine and control physical action and reactions. The Zeno prototype first debuted at last year’s Wired NextFest.
