Visualization and military simulation software firm Engenuity Technologies announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Diamond Visionics in order to enhance the functionality of Engenuity's STAGE simulation toolkit by integrating Diamond Visionics' GenesisRT (Worldwide Database).
The partnership will enhance Engenuity's existing toolset, as well as drive growth in new markets, such as urban simulation, homeland security and serious games. GenesisRT will bring a visual database system to the STAGE toolkit to allow for flexibility when developing simulation scenarios for both ground and air.
The GenesisRT (Worldwide Database) allows users to produce visual databases directly from source data, thereby enabling changes to be instantly visualized. Unlike fixed or static databases developed offline, GenesisRT automatically and continually loads terrain and other multiple types of source data into the simulation at runtime, as the user requires it. The first customer shipment of the integrated solution is targeted for the end of 2006.
"It is clear there are major changes afoot in the Military Simulation and Training market, and the requirement to rapidly produce high fidelity, highly realistic and accurately correlated visuals in simulation scenarios is one of the most important changes," said David Gdovin, president and founding partner, Diamond Visionics. "By partnering with Engenuity and bringing the GenesisRT technology to STAGE, we will be placing ourselves on the forefront of technological innovation."
Patrice Commune, CEO, Engenuity Technologies added: "Teaming up with Diamond Visionics brings together the very best in cutting-edge VizSim technologies. Together, our companies will leverage our mutual strengths to develop more powerful long-term solutions that address the requirements of next-generation simulations."
