New York Stock Exchange 3-D Virtual Trading FloorNew York 17 April 2001 The New York Stock Exchange has launched a new broadcast studio that gives reporters access to a virtual trading floor with live market data for inclusion into financial newscasts. Dubbed NYSE MarkeTrac Live, the virtual set provides financial broadcasters and web viewers with a truly unique view of the Exchange's auction market and the latest market information.
NYSE MarkeTrac Live, employs the vi[z]rt virtual 3D technology platform enabling
the advanced graphics and display capabilities of the Exchange's recently
introduced NYSE MarkeTrac web product. This powerful solution offers individual
investors an online experience and access to market information that no other
market provides.
The NYSE initially implemented the vi[z]rt 3D graphic solution
in March 1999 in its Advanced Trading Floor Operations Center (3DTF), running on
Silicon Graphics Onyx2 systems this enables the Exchange personnel to
monitor trading floor technology and operations. This center was produced in
conjunction with SIAC -- Securities Industry Automation Corporation and
integrates continuous trading data streams into one advanced three-dimensional
system that is displayed on nine 25-inch monitors.
