About this demo-conference

Real-Time Simulation. Why is Montreal an international hub for games, 3D animation, and military simulation?

[In English]

Montréal is an unparalleled hotbed for the development of virtual applications. This is how Paul Kruszewski enthusiastically described Montréal’s digital community. According to Paul, the dynamic historical links between individuals that worked at CAE following the end of the second world war, the subsequent arrival of the NFB in Montréal (where Daniel Langlois got his start before leaving to found SoftImage), and the numerous businesses both large and small that were eventually created in the fields of imaging, artificial intelligence and video games, make Montréal a unique environment where the melting pot of experiences and expertise is a catalyst for innovation. Even more inviting than the exchange rate and tax credits, he went on to explain, the unique balance between the “engineering beat” and the “art beat” specific to the Montréal digital community provides the city with real added value and ensures its position among the leaders on the global market.
