The market for interactive 3D graphics applications can roughly be subdivided into a market for games, running on PC's or dedicated game consoles, and the professional market, often deploying UNIX systems with Open GL™ and Open Perform™. The latter systems usually are big and lack portability.

In order to apply professional applications with high performance in the PC domain, Crystal Interactive Technologies has developed the dedicated software toolkit, 5D Platform™.

Its state-of-the-art architecture allows multiple web based clients to interact simultaneously with a server based interactive 5D model, providing real time refresh rates at the clients station.

Performance bench marks of the 5D Platform compare favorably with that of UNIX workstations and can be easily scaled with PC configurations, in terms of CPU performance, memory size and GFX co-processor.
