The major feature of the project was the absence of the Georgian language pack for MS SharePoint. Softengi localized the system for Georgian user interface.

Development centers

The concept of development centers lies in establishment of the own customer’s software development center (DC) in popular outsourcing country, reducing with this the cost of services.

Softengi has established the biggest development center for the Enviance, Inc., the leading global provider of a web-based environment, health and safety compliance software as a service, based in California, USA.

Softengi developers have developed the Accelerometer application for iPhone, which is aimed to count steps with distance, speed and calculate the number of calories burned.

Softengi developers have developed the country/city guide application for Android mobile devices for sightseeing of country/city with GPS, GoogleMaps, indicating the points of interest situated nearby. The integration with Layare (augment reality) allowed to see the necessary objects around (POIs, bus stations, restaurants, etc.), and add own POIs and places.

3D / Stereo Interactive complex

The 3D Studio of the company was created in 2004. During 8 years it has fulfilled 60 successful projects worldwide.

The project was used by Bombardier at the EBACE convention in Geneva, May 2006.

Interactive Architectural Visualization

Softengi’s 3D Studio has developed Unity-based solution for architectural visualization, allowing construction companies and architectural firms to reduce by 40% the cost of 3D presentation development. Among the advantages of interactive 3D presentation:

realistic images,

complete freedom of user (user can walk, fly, open doors, look in the windows, etc.),

ability to change the time of day for the presentation, lighting and even the weather conditions,

all possible formats of data to accelerate the creation of the object (AutoCAD, Maya, and 3DS Max, SketchUp),

instant view of changes without waiting for the results of rendering

ability to take real time pictures of the future building and record video.

This technology allows to create not only exterior but also interior architectural visualization - utilities, furnishing, floors, parking lots and vehicles.

Augmented Reality

Softengi has implemented Augmented reality projects with Kinect sensor game controller. The augmented reality module using Kinect controller allows a user to interact without contact with the image through the body postures, capturing human movement at special points on the body, and thus carrying out a complete 3-dimensional recognition of body movements using the installed software.
