Realtime Technologies to Exhibit at I/ITSEC
'05
RTI will be demonstrating US Army TACOM SBIR funded enhancements to its visuals and terrain query subsystems. The focus of the enhancements is to create dramatic improvements in both the appearance and dynamic response of terrain surfaces and lighting effects experienced by ground vehicle simulation operators. The enhancements provide the ability to interact with high resolution NURBS and height field surfaces in correlation with bump mapped visuals. RTI's database toolset allows for the pre-rendering of shadows from static light sources. In addition, dynamic shadows are generated for moving objects within the scene. Deformable terrain supports the dynamic generation of vehicle tracks left from driving on deformable surfaces such as snow and sand. The automated database enhancement demonstrates techniques for updating the quality of legacy databases with higher quality models and modeling techniques. Both pre-recorded videos and live simulator demonstrations will be used to show the power of these effects. RTI will be showing driving simulation demonstrations generated using its SimCreator software. In addition, RTI will be demonstrating the SimVista toolset which can be used to generate realistic driving environments from a tile-based database authoring system. SimVista also provides the ability to add individual database elements and scenario control objects. The scenario control objects allow for the execution of scripted scenario events, specific vehicle behaviors, and simulation control. RTI's SimObserver and Data Distillery software packages will be demonstrated as well. SimObserver is a high-performance digital video and data capture system that captures up to four camera views and receives run time data and event marks from a simulation system. The Data Distillery software from TUMOkinetic is used to review the captured data, seek to marked events, reduce data into measures of performance, and code behaviors or events post-process. I/ITSEC promotes cooperation among the Armed Services, Industry, Academia and various Government agencies. I/ITSEC encourages cooperation by improving simulation training and education programs, identifying common training issues and developing multi-service programs. Over 16,000 people registered for I/ITSEC in 2004, nearly 2,000 of who represented 44 countries outside the United States. The conference included over 400 exhibitors. Initiated in 1966 as the Naval Training Device Center/Industry Conference, the conference has evolved and expanded through increased participation by the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Industry. In 1979, it became known as the Interservice/Industry Training Equipment Conference. RTI Hires National Sales

Realtime Technologies calls upon its top-tier products, SimCreator®, SimVehicle, SimObserver, and OverTilt® as central players in the virtual proving ground package. RTI has also integrated commercial applications Altia FacePlate, Run Technologies’ Datapac2K2, Parallel Graphics’ Internet Scene Assembler and SAS’ JMP to round out the suite of vehicle development software. “We can now support the entire design cycle, providing rapid virtual testing for our customers”, says Richard Romano, president of Realtime Technologies, Inc. RTI’s SimCreator® is a graphical, hierarchical, real time simulation and modeling system that allows users to develop distributed simulation models from the desktop. SimObserver is a stand alone after action review system that allows customers to record digital video and data from multiple independent sources. SimVehicle is RTI’s recently improved general vehicle dynamics system that predicts the performance of vehicle systems in real-time. OverTilt® is a motion drive algorithm that causes a motion based simulator to feel like a real vehicle environment. Altia FacePlate is a drag-and-drop simulation front panel builder and connection environment. Datapac2K2 is a versatile analog data acquisition, processing, and analysis system. Internet Scene Assembler is a rapid database assembly package. JMP provides a comprehensive set of statistical tools. Together, these tools allow the user to design, model and optimize their vehicle, layout a virtual proving ground of tests, engage multiple drivers operating the prototype vehicle on the virtual proving ground, record each driver’s performance, and determine the optimal vehicle configuration.

Realtime Technologies
Awarded U.S.
Army Research Contract
ROYAL OAK, MI –
Realtime Technologies, Inc. (RTI), has been awarded a Phase II
Small Business
Innovative Research (SBIR) contract to develop
simulation software for the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research,
Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). The Integration of
Vehicle Models and Analytical Simulations contract totals over
$690,000. The objective of the contract is to complete the development of immersive vehicle dynamics visualization software (IVDYN). This software will import results generated from a number of existing vehicle dynamics software packages and mainstream computer aided design (CAD) applications. It will allow the user to connect specific CAD models to the vehicle dynamics results and place the resulting animation in a user definable virtual terrain. The resulting animation can be analyzed and evaluated in a variety of systems including web browsers and immersive systems.
Successful development of the IVDYN will provide a collaborative immersive virtual environment for analyzing vehicle dynamics results. This collaborative analysis can reduce the time and cost of bringing new products to market. The advantage for the military is more capable vehicles, developed more quickly at a lower cost.
Visual simulation models are used to support TARDEC’s efforts to rapidly develop next-generation vehicles. Simulation-based modeling empowers vehicle designers to investigate vehicle design options such as the configuration, placement, functionality, and safety of new features without incurring the expense of building an actual vehicle. Higher fidelity simulations are also valuable for driver training, gaming, and visualization applications.
Headquartered in
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
Program is a highly competitive three-phase award
system, which provides qualified small businesses with opportunities to
propose innovative ideas that meet the specific research and development
needs of the federal government.
