Symbolics S-Graphics/Nichimen N-World/Izware Mirai information site

About

This page has some information about the integrated 2d/3d graphic suite known as Mirai. The software was originally sold as the S-Graphics suite by the Symbolics Graphics Division, founded in 1982. S-Graphics was one of the first commercially available 3d graphics and animation packages, and the first integrated 2d/3d system. Later re-worked as N-World and then as Mirai by Nichimen Graphics, and is now marketed by Izware.
