Near™ enjoys an exclusive development contract with Qube Software, an independent tools developer established by the creators of Direct3D. Near™ is built using Qube’s powerful, scalable middleware solution: Q.

Near™ provides creative web designers, games developers and agencies with a high-quality platform to build and distribute micro-worlds that inspire audiences and engage consumers.

Near™ is currently only available for Windows PCs. Support for all other major hardware platforms (including Mac OSX/iphone/ipad, Android and PS3) is planned for late 2010.
