MetaVR at I/ITSEC 2003 MetaVR exhibited its products at the annual I/ITSEC trade show in Booth #1361. The Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference and Trade Show was held December 1- 4, 2003, at Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL, USA. MetaVR's 30' x 30' booth at I/ITSEC 2003. MetaVR announced its new Metadesic™ virtual terrain architecture, SAR and DRLMS capabilities for VRSG Radar™ simulation, availability of its commercial genlocked and frame-locked multi-channel image generator, and significant additions to the MetaVR 3D model libraries, including models that use a new photo-specific 3D model convention with sub-centimeter resolution imagery. MetaVR also announced its new U.S. Military Future Combat System (FCS) Training Facility terrain database built from LIDAR 1 meter elevation data and 30 cm imagery. MetaVR demonstrated its new MetaVR Metadesic virtual terrain architecture with VRSG™, and the abovementioned technology, enhancements and database. The databases that MetaVR demonstrated had new cultural feature assets from MetaVR's 3D model libraries such as volumetric tree models in 4 seasons, 41 photo-realistic models of structures at the Nellis AFB (many of which are also photo-specific), a set of 60 commercial vehicle entities, and new photo-specific T-90, T-72 M1, and T-72 M4CZ entities. The 3D terrain databases that MetaVR demonstrated are: Ft. Campbell, Ft. Benning, enhanced National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, and Southwest USA (which includes the Nellis AFB models) and the aforementioned new U.S. Military FCS Training Facility terrain database. New VRSG environmental scene effects that were shown on the databases included dynamic terrain and volumetric clouds. Also at IITSEC, several customers displayed use of MetaVR technology in their demonstrated applications:
MetaVR manufactures software and turnkey PC-based systems for high-speed 3D visualization and rapid creation of networked virtual worlds on PCs for the simulation, training, and location-based entertainment markets. MetaVR systems are used for applications such as urban operations training (MOUT), unmanned aerial vehicles for the US Army TUAV, and prototyping the Future Combat System. The MetaVR booth at I/ITSEC 2003 was designed by Shepard Exposition Services. |
