The ActiViz product family provides a powerful interface to the Visualization Toolkit (VTK), an object-oriented interface encompassing thousands of algorithms which transform data into interactive 3D environments. ActiViz comes in two flavors: .NET and COM.  ActiViz .NET provides developers the power of VTK plus the many .NET framework objects for web and database access, allowing for the quick creation of production-ready, interactive 3D applications in the .NET environment. COM users are able to embed VTK’s 3D graphics, image processing, volume rendering and visualizations into any Windows application supporting embeddable controls.
