Altia HMI Plugs in to Off-the-Shelf Components for Testing and Reviews
New product development teams often need to create the illusion of a production-ready system before the product is even complete. Altia is proud to offer seamless integration to off-the-shelf, low-cost electronic hardware components that can be connected to a PC running an Altia simulation. These hardware components are available with different sensor options – like pressure, voltage/current, motion, and distance/range – that allow development teams to build physical prototypes of volume knobs, washing machine rotary controls, warning lights and more. By integrating an Altia Design model with these “plug and play” building blocks, users are able to create extremely high fidelity mock-ups for use in user studies and management reviews.
State-of-the-Art Information Cluster Screens Run By Altia-Generated Graphics Code. Land Rover is receiving auto industry accolades for its 2010 Range Rover. Not only are critics praising the subtle updates to the Range Rover’s classic exterior, but they are raving over the exciting new additions to the vehicle interior. One of the most dramatic additions to the new Range Rover is the vehicle’s virtual instrument cluster.
Traditional physical gauges no longer take center stage on the new Range Rover dashboard. In their place is a new, 12” Thin Film Transistor screen which shows all essential driver information via smartly designed graphical displays and virtual dials. The driver can customize the message center to display personal prioritized information – from system warnings, outside temperature and vehicle information to audio and telephone displays. The message center can also communicate off-road information, like steering angle, wheel articulation, suspension settings and Terrain Response™ settings.

Redhat engineer announces new timer framework for the linux kernel and claims "the end-effect of ktimers is a much more deterministic HRT engine".
Quote:"The RM/OpenRM Programming Guide is a lengthy tome that provides in-depth and definitive technical discussion and examples about OpenRM and RM Scene Graph. Because we use an Open Source business model, we give away the source code but must charge a few dollars for the Programming Guide.
The 1.6.0 version of the RM/OpenRM Programming Guide is a large body of technical material and is an invaluable reference for developers. It represents several years' worth of composition and editing effort, and contains 578 pages in 21 chapters. The 1.5.2 version of the RM Programming Guide consisted of 508 pages. During the work on the 1.6.0 version, we added seventy pages of new material and implemented many revisions to reflect changes that occurred between RM version 1.5.2 and 1.6.0. "

2005 FALL SIW FOCUS:
Use of Game Technology in Military Modeling and Simulation Defense departments worldwide are turning to game technologies such as scenario-based game engines and on-line massively multi-player roleplaying game servers as one way of providing low-cost, on demand, deployable tactical training to the warfighter. In addition, game and entertainment technologies such as crowd behavior modeling are being embedded into traditional military trainers. While defense departments value and mandate standards in military programs, does the game industry have the commitment, incentive, and experience to apply simulation standards to ensure validity of training and to enable communications, commonality, and reuse between different vendors` games?
The Delta3D Team today announced the start of the public Beta test of the Delta3D Gaming and Simulation Engine.
