JACKSON, N.H.. -- Animetrics, Inc., a leading developer of 3D imaging and facial recognition software, announced today that the National Geographic Channel (NGC) selected Animetrics 3-Dimensional face imaging software in the making of the EXPLORER: "Search for Adam". Search for Adam joins renowned scientists as they follow the genetic DNA trail of our ancestors in a quest to solve one of the greatest questions of all time: was there actually an Adam, an ancient man that all men today are descended from?

"National Geographic selected Animetrics for its proven ability to provide accurate 3D facial images based on 2D input of photographs of faces and skulls," says Simon Boyce, NGC producer. "Based on scientific mathematical algorithms that calculate the anatomic structure of the face, Animetrics 2D- to-3D imaging software provided National Geographic a visual reference of what this genetic Adam is likely to have looked like," says Dr. Michael Miller, Animetrics Chief Scientist. "We are delighted to have taken part in contributing to a very exciting program," added Miller.
