Havok Vision Game Engine, known as Vision, is a cross-platform 3D game engine originally authored by Trinigy and developed by Havok, released in 2003. Now in its eighth version, the Vision Engine is currently available for Microsoft Windows (DX9, DX10, DX11), Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Wii U, iOS, Android, Sony's PlayStation Vita, and most major browsers (IE6 and up, Firefox 2.0 and up, Google Chrome, Opera 9 and up).
Vision Engine 8 was launched just prior to the 2010 Game Developers Conference.[1] Trinigy and its Vision Engine was acquired by Havok in 2011.[2] Vision Engine has since been discontinued with no support being provided.[3]
