Immersive - PRISMS provides a compelling
virtual reality experience with high resolution, stereoscopic, wide
field of view head-tracked, head-mounted display, and 3D sound system.
Rapidly Re-configurable for simulating a broad range of platforms
such as helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, tanks, Martian rovers, or
other systems.
Scalability – User-define processes running on a distributed
simulation architecture hosted by as many PC machines as desired for
scalability of processing power and number of participants in the
simulation.
Data Collection – Designed to collect an unlimited number
of objective metrics of pilot performance under specific task loading
with user-defined symbology and a customized visual and auditory environment.
Flexible - for research, rapid prototyping, demonstration,
and training; compatible with most HMDs and vehicle control systems.
Portable - lightweight to facilitate field use (700 pounds
packs into two ATA flight cases).
High Level Architecture (HLA) - compatibility meets DoD requirements
for use with military simulation systems.
User-defined characteristics – symbol size, shape, color,
and behavior; selection of symbols in screen-, vehicle-, and earth-fixed
frames of reference; sophisticated rule-based event control, performance
measurement, and data recording.
Motivating –Realism of the experience encourages best
performance by trainees or experimental test subjects. Draws crowds
at trade shows such as SPIE and ITSEC.
No competitive procurement. Developed under SBIR funding, PRISMS
can be acquired by any federal agency without a competitive procurement.
Sound - Voice synthesis for intelligently aided cueing and
coaching; voice recognition for system commands with both hands on
controls; 3D sound generation for spatial localization and situation
awareness. |
