"Without a question, working with the HOOPS technology has helped Surpac to consistently produce more robust, visually rich applications. We’ve relied on the HOOPS technology for 14+ years, and have been impressed with TS3D’s pace of innovation, consistency and responsiveness. Graphics technology has come a long way in that time, and HOOPS has helped us stay in front of that curve."
