HPC Project

During the last EUROSATORY show, held at Paris, France (June, 16-20), HPC Project showcased the latest innovations in simulation.  This was the first case EUROSATORY dedicated a display area specifically for the Training & Smulation sector. In this context, the showcase was featuring the latest simulation, computation and man-machine interface technologies. It was located in the middle of the Training & Simulation area.

The showcase highlighted the latest and cutting-edge simulation technologies, gathering ten leading companies of the field. The goal of the showcase was to demonstrate technologies that are critical in the context of the integration of simulation into operational systems.

Featured demos included:

• Multitouch surfaces for collaborating (pictured)
• New generation solution for tactical training
• Tools for rapid synthetic environment generation
• Virtual maintenance trainer (using virtual reality and immersive displays)
• Real-time tactical communication modelling
• Optimizing 3d hyper complex simulations
• High performance simulation
• Physics-based light & vision simulation
• Real time procedural terrain simulation

In addition, a series of conference on the future of simulation was held, and gathered both operational and specialists of the field. Keynote speeches were delivered by Tim Bloechl (Microsoft), Warren Katz (VT MAK) and Patrice Commune (PRESAGIS) - pictured. Two tracks were held : integration of simulation in operational systems and serious gaming/virtual universes. More information available at http://www.innov-in-simulation.com/InnovationShowcase.
