3D Technology

Telespazio VEGA has in-depth expertise and lengthy experience in 3D and Virtual Reality. This capability includes engineers, doctors and experienced project managers, collectively focusing on four major skills:

  • Developing and integrating 3D visualisation solutions
  • Creating 3D visual content
  • Integrating hardware
  • 3D consultancy and expertise

 

Development and integration of 3D visualisation solutions

Based on years of experience in the field of computer graphics, the 3D pole designs and implements solutions for real-time 3D visualisation tailored to customer requirements (cost, schedule, performance, integration, etc). Telespazio VEGA monitors technological development allowing it to fully update existing solutions, whether commercial off the shelf solutions (COTS) or open source solutions.

Telespazio VEGA has also developed an integrated visualisation solution enabling it to address the problems of visualisation in various fields such as aerospace and simulation. This solution, based on a collection of Open Source projects, consists of software components including:

  • Telespazio VEGA GlobView: real-time 3D visualisation of geospatial data
  • Telespazio VEGA GlobDB: access to external databases (WMS, WCS, PostGIS, KML, etc)
  • Telespazio VEGA GlobSim: connection to the world of simulation (DIS, HLA, etc)
  • Telespazio VEGA GlobViz: visualisation and post processing of multi-dimensional scientific data (netCDF, HDF, GRIB, etc)

In addition, this solution may be extended by adding components of the market allowing animation, construction of cities, modelling of realistic vegetation, etc.

Visual content

Telespazio VEGA's 3D capability has the skills and tools needed to create visual content, in particular the creation of synthetic environments from heterogeneous data. With several partnerships (PlanetObserver, ORODIA), Telespazio VEGA is able to provide data and 3D models from different quality and different resolutions (from 150m to 20cm).

Integration of hardware solutions

Telespazio VEGA's 3D team has the know-how needed to integrate software into hardware. Telespazio VEGA can manage a portion of the integration of the software or provide a complete solution (software & hardware). The hardware systems supported by Telespazio VEGA are:

  • Graphics chipsets: NVIDIA GPU, ATI, Intel
  • Controllers input: SpaceMouse, haptic controller, etc
  • Systems display: headset or stereoscopic display, CAVE, etc
  • Multi-touch, multi-user touchtables.
