photo realism or virtual reality

[gary]

HI,
I am a jewelry designer living in Israel.
I have seen lately on a computer a program that designs
jewelry with software called photo realism or
maybe is it virtual reality and 3 Dimensions.
I was very impressed by the results anrd am interested
to know if anybody knows about this,what kind software
is used and at what price this could be purchased and
where.

["Virtual Reality" is usually used to refer to a setup using 3d goggles
for an immersive stereoscopic effect, often controlled by a "power
glove" or similar interactive device. I haven't heard of this being used
for jewelry design, but I suppose it's possible. "3 Dimensions" is too
generic to be a brand name- they need something that a search
engine can find. Is this something you tried out, or saw on TV? How
did it work? Was it something that converted 2d pictures to 3d
models? Or was it a "photorealistic" rendering program that output
very nice pictures of the jewelry as if completed? You've got me curious...]
