the same time. He has been starting companies since 1996, ranging from software
companies, media companies, computer game developer companies and internet
companies.
Robert Sugar was born in 1978, and grew up in Hungary. He
graduated in physics at the Lorand Eotvos University (Budapest, Hungary). First
software engineering was just his hobby and later it has become his full time
profession. His first development project was about artificial intelligence and
graphical visualization for computer games back in 1996. He founded his own
game developing studio in 2001- called Mithis Entertainment – in the heart of
Budapest the capital of Hungary. Until the end of 2005 his studio completed
four big game titles which were distributed world-wide by well known
multi-national publishers.
Since his departure from the gaming industry in 2006 he has
been focusing on cutting edge technology development. His fields of interest
are “Visualization”, “Virtual Reality” and “Artificial
Intelligence”.
Mithis was founded in 2001 for the purposes of “AAA”
game development. From a small group of enthusiastic people, Mithis
Entertainment has become the biggest developer studio in Hungary by 2005.

Recently a new R&D company has been established by
Robert Sugar for the purpose of doing sciencific research in various fields
like virtual reality, artificial intelligence, etc. He is surrounded by a team
of international researchers, and they are heavily working on multiple
technology developments based on brand new ideas.
Volumetric Raytracing is an image-based volume rendering
technique. It computes 2D images from 3D volumetric data sets by tracing the
path of light through the volume.
Augmented Reality (AR) is a variation of Virtual
Environments (VE), or Virtual Reality as it is more commonly called. VE technologies completely immerse a user inside
a synthetic environment. While immersed, the user cannot see the real world
around him. In contrast, AR allows the
user to see the real world, with virtual objects superimposed upon or
composited with the real world.
Therefore, AR supplements reality, rather than completely replacing it. Ideally,
it would appear to the user that the virtual and real objects coexisted in the
same space.
