VT MÄK’s First-Person Driving Simulation Uses Simthetiq's SUROBI Virtual Terrain Environment |
|
|
At I/ITSEC 2014, VT MAK demonstrated new VR-Vantage IG image generation capabilities by building five first-person player stations – each representing a different type of player. One of these stations was a Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) player where we collaborated with Simthetiq for the terrain database, CM Labs for the vehicle physics, and with MÄK’s own DI-Guy human Character simulation to populate the environment.
Typically while building a competitive simulation solution, the biggest proportion of investment is on the hardware and software at the detriment of the visual database. Everyone agrees that the IG features and hardware performance are vital for any virtual training exercise – but all that action happens in the context of the virtual terrain. A poor visual database will make any investment less effective. Simthetiq specializes in building cost-effective, immersive training environments that reach the new level of realism needed by today`s demanding customers.
So what does that mean for us? We were finishing up improvements to VR-Vantage 2.0 and wanted to demonstrate its high performance rendering so we needed a terrain database that would look great from ground level, render at 60Hz, and provide navigation and collision data to the DI-Guy and Vortex physics engines. Simthetiq offered a COTS terrain combined with their specialist integration services, which allowed us to minimize risk and effort on our side while ensuring an impressive visual for our simulation solution.
