DiSTI Celebrates GL Studio’s Tenth Anniversary

The DiSTI Corporation announces the 10 year anniversary of its signature software product, GL Studio.

GL Studio, a toolkit which enables the development of high-fidelity graphics, 3D simulations and fully interactive controls, has experienced impressive success during its 10 years.
