Auckland, New Zealand - January 15, 2007 - Right Hemisphere®, the leading
provider of Product Graphics Management (PGM) software, has appointed Kiwi
virtual reality expert Dr. Roy Davies to manage a new technology development
lab it is creating in Auckland called Nextspace. An extensively published
and world-renowned expert on the subject of virtual reality, Dr. Davies
returns home to New Zealand from Sweden where he established a
research-focused virtual reality centre from the ground up at the University
of Lund.

After completing his Master of Science degree with first class honours at
the University of Auckland, Dr. Davies lectured in Computer Studies at the
then Auckland Institute of Technology. In 1995, Dr. Davies left New Zealand
and carried out significant research in virtual reality and associate
technology at the University of Lund, Sweden, where he was also awarded his
Doctorate.

Nextspace is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Right Hemisphere and not-for
profit organisation slated to open for business later in the year.
Nextspace will conduct research and development but will also have a more
commercial dimension, bringing together technologies to create commercial
applications and potential new 3D graphic communication products and
solutions. The company will seek to establish close links with both New
Zealand universities and other research organisations.

"Nextspace aims to make graphical communications technology a major industry
and export for New Zealand," said Dr. Davies.

Nextspace has already established a relationship with the New Zealand
Supercomputer Centre (NZSC) to access the supercomputing resources necessary
to support its programme. Dr. Davies said Nextspace's collaboration with
the NZSC would also allow Nextspace users to gain easy access to processing
capabilities for important calculations, simulations or time-critical
solutions.

Right Hemisphere established Nextspace as part of its commitment to the New
Zealand government for a U.S. $8 million loan it received last September.
Part of the government's loan agreement provided for Right Hemisphere to
lead research and development initiatives associated with its technology to
foster a New Zealand 'cluster' in imaging and 3D graphics technologies.

Nextspace will operate a visual communication centre to assist ventures
develop and commercialise business opportunities utilising Right Hemisphere's
Product Graphics Management platform. This will include an "Inspiration
Shed" consisting of high-end, big-screen visualisation and interaction tools
for use with commercial applications.

Dr. Davies said that, in addition to its collaboration with the NZSC,
Nextspace would also work closely with KAREN - the Kiwi Advanced Research &
Education Network - to connect to research and innovation partners
throughout New Zealand and around the world. KAREN is maintained by REANNZ
(the Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand Ltd), a Crown-owned
company established to own and operate a high-speed telecommunications
network for the research and education sectors.

"Nextspace is a great opportunity to push the boundaries of 3D visualisation
technology and bring New Zealand to the forefront of the new wave of ICT
applications," said Dr. Davies.

Right Hemisphere President and CTO Mark Thomas said Nextspace offered an
exciting environment in which to collaborate on research and commercial
applications.

"Graphics technologies are key to global communications as more and more
companies operate and compete globally. Nextspace is designed to connect
New Zealand innovation with a global customer base and provide a platform
for development of any graphically oriented IT or business solution," said
Mr. Thomas. "We expect collaborations with Nextspace to provide a direct
path to Right Hemisphere's top automotive and aerospace customers or to
simply provide a technology platform second to none for graphics software
development."

researchers and firms, especially in the area of 3D visualization and
imaging. Nextspace has been designed to connect New Zealand innovation with
a global customer base to provide a platform for development of any
graphically oriented IT or business solution. Nextspace aims to enable New
Zealand organizations to concentrate on solving high level, graphically
oriented, business problems rather than low-level graphics coding problems.
These solutions will, where appropriate, utilise Right Hemisphere's Graphics
Management System.
