Supravision

Intro and History
Supravision was designed by Homer Eaton and Foad Rekabi of ROMER in the 1980s. It originally began as a DOS program, then migrated to Windows. When it was redesigned for Windows, Foad decided to keep the DOS SV look and feel in the Windows version.
In 2011, ROMER CIMCORE - A division of Hexagon Metrology, began replacing sales of Supravision with DOCS software.
