Unity completed the acquisition of Interactive Data Visualization.

Unity, a platform for creating and operating real-time 3D content, completed the acquisition of Interactive Data Visualization, a creator of SpeedTree, a suite of vegetation modeling and environment creation products. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Creating natural, organic-looking environments is currently a costly and labor-intensive process. If you’re pursuing a high level of detail and realism, the process of manually creating one tree - not to mention a forest - can take upwards of four months,” Ralph Hauwert, R&D Unity Senior Vice President.
