*** mental images Acquires Cycore Cult3D Technology
(March 1)

mental images and Cycore announced the acquisition by mental images of
Cult3D, Cycore's interactive 3D software platform for e-business.

Cult3D is a 3D software application that brings interactive 3D to
devices like PCs, PDAs and cell phones. Cult3D will be integrated into
mental images's RealityServer, a server-based collaboration platform.
The RealityServer Version 1.5, resulting from the integration, will be
made commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2004. It will
provide real time interaction on devices with 3D data of reduced
complexity. These are automatically derived from the original CAD or
design data contained in the RealityServer database.

Applications for the technology include remote collaborative training
and teaching, collaborative design and engineering, collaborative
medical diagnosis and surgery planning, oil and gas exploration, and
other data analysis and visualization applications, and broad-band
based, interactive on-line entertainment applications.
