Infobyte is an Italian company that produces software for Virtual Reality applications in architecture and scientific visualisation areas. Infobyte has devoted itself for a long time to the development of the new shapes of communication trying to bind together techniques of challenge and highly qualitative standards. The company has been specialised above all in the application of the most advanced computer science technologies, to the art, the formation and the television production.
Infobyte has mainly a consolidated experience in the organisation and set up of multimedia and virtual reality vision centres as shown in the numerous experiences around the world. Since 1992 Infobyte has developed a number of experiments in the area of Virtual Reality as applied to the visual arts, winning international recognition and attaining a position of leadership in this field. The production in the very new field of virtual reality requires a modelling phase aimed at defining the imaginary world with the greatest possible degree of realism in order to provide it with real time animation geared to the user's movements, and to develop interfaces providing the user with real three-dimensional viewing.

Special and powerful hardware and software systems are being employed, and constitute the most advanced developments currently available in the field of interactive graphics with very high resolution as well as peripherals for display and interaction that are still under development. Infobyte's structure is formed of verification services independent from the production chain as well as of a technological area made up of complementary and strongly cross-linked sectors at the time of the making of a project. Every sector is in turn divided into specialised technological areas, which have to maintain technological competence, improve it and study new advanced solutions during the experimentation phase. Current research is towards the simulation of human bodies or human bodies parts in which the possibility to manage the real dimensions is of fundamental importance (e.g. medical applications and relating industry).
