***Virtools and VizTek announce their partnership in virtual
reality and simulation

Montreal, Canada
January 10, 2005

Virtools has added VizTek as a new value added reseller (VAR) in
the field of virtual reality and simulation.

VizTek specializes in the development of turnkey solutions for
their clients, delivering complete turnkey systems comprising
computational platforms, screens, projectors, software, sound,
sensory interaction, and interactive simulation content.

According to Virtools, VizTek is one of the very few specialists
for the integration of PC based VR systems, and has gained an
expertise over the last year on the most versatile VR software,
the Virtools Software Suite. The combination provides a
competitive turnkey solution. Not only does VizTek integrate into
the Virtools Software Suite as part of the MAVRIC solution, but
it can also provide custom development and services, therefore
reducing costs, development time, resources and personnel
involved in the interactive 3d projects.

Virtools publishes a proven suite of software solutions used to
create interactive 3D applications for simulation/virtual
reality, as well as video games and marketing/multimedia
applications.

This new strategic partnership will leverage complementary
capabilities for both companies to deliver turnkey solutions that
include the world's most advanced software suite within the
MAVRIC solution.
