Mathematical Applications Group
Mathematical Applications Group, Inc. (a.k.a. MAGI or MAGI/Synthavision) was an early computer technology company founded in 1966 by Dr. Philip Mittelman and located in Elmsford, New York, where it was evaluating nuclear radiation exposure. In 1972, the graphics group called MAGI/SynthaVision was formed at MAGI by Robert Goldstein.
It was one of four companies hired to create the CGI animation for the film ''Tron''. MAGI was responsible for the most of the CGI animation in the first half of ''Tron'', while Triple-I worked mainly on the second half of the film. MAGI modeled and animated the light cycles, recognizers and tanks.
== Product and legacy ==
MAGI developed a software program called Synthavision to create CGI images and films. Synthavision was one of the first systems to implement the later concept of ray-tracing for making images. The software was a constructive solid geometry (CSG) system, in that the geometry was solid primitives with combinatorial operators (such as Boolean operators). Synthavision's modeling method does not use polygons or wireframe meshes that most CGI companies use today. The combination of the solids modeling and ray tracing (later to become plane firing) made it a very robust system that could generate high quality images.
MAGI created the world's first CGI advertisement for IBM. It featured 3D letters that flew out of an office machine.
