About Algoryx
University offspring in 2007
Algoryx Simulation AB was formed 2007 as an off-spring from Umeå university, involving researchers from the High Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N), VRlab, and the departments of Computing Science and Physics. The off-spring is also result of a long and prosper R&D collaboration between the university and former off-spring company Oryx Simulations AB, today a world leader in professional heavy vehicle simulators.In 2007 a team of developers and researchers gathered to design a next-generation multiphysics engine with fidelity, performance, functionality and extensibility that surpasses comparable solutions on the market of which many have the limited scope of game physics. Algoryx currently engages 13 people of which several have 10-15 years of experience of interactive simulation.
Business of interactive multiphysics
We believe that visual and interactive multiphysics simulation is one of the true challenges in science and technology and that the area will have huge impact on the industrial market in the next few years and for many decades to come. Our ambition is to bridge between academic research and industrial applications and thereby ensure our competitiveness as a leading provider of products and services. For this we apply two models: For industrial R&D we apply a trinity collaboration model between academic reserch, Algoryx, and large corporations on the global market (Fig 1). For business we apply an cluster model where seveal small and medium sized enterprises (SME) collaborate in projects to match the demands of a global market (Fig 2).One important trend is the convergence of game technologies, virtual reality and computer aided design into industrial virtual prototyping. In this area new tools and technologies will enable new types of work flow with efficient transfer between design, engineering, decision making, training and marketing.
