    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for loading rendering data for a scene from a computer generated environment at an interactive computer simulation station. In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a content file is created that defines, for each of a plurality of virtual geographical sectors of a computer generated environment, available levels of detail for the virtual geographical sector and a latest available version that the available levels of detail are contained in. A file associated with an available level of detail in the latest available version is listed in the content file. The content file is loaded into memory during execution of an interactive computer simulation station for real-time access by the interactive computer simulation station to determine which files are available to be loaded for rending of the scene having a target level of detail in a latest available version.

    摘要: A modular infrastructure, for an interactive computer program comprising a computer generated environment, comprising an instrument module, a seat and a display. The instrument module replicates a first and a third portion of a cockpit from a simulated vehicle. The instrument module comprises a tangible instrument for a user to interact within the computer generated environment and a shared tangible instrument, replicating the third portion accessible to a real co-user in a second infrastructure, which replicates a second and the third portion of the cockpit. Images from the computer generated environment and of a virtualized participant representing the real co-user are displayed. A display position relative to an instrument position of the third portion and relative to a seat position is customizable to support different configurations of the interactive computer program. A method for providing the interactive computer program in the modular infrastructure and the second infrastructure.

    摘要: A method and display system for dynamically adjusting image characteristics in real-time for a user therein. In real-time, a determination is made of a dynamic user position facing one or more fixed display screens. In real-time, and taking into account the dynamic user position, luminance of a plurality of zones is adjusted in a stream of images computed for display on the one or more fixed display screens. The calibrated (or adjusted) stream of images is then displayed onto the one or more fixed display screens. A relative view angle between the dynamic user position and the one or more fixed display screens may be determined taking into account in real-time while adjusting luminance. Adjusting in real-time, taking into account the dynamic user position, may also be performed on color properties of the plurality of zones in the stream of images.

    摘要: An interactive computer simulation system, station and method for training a user in the performance of a task through a training activity. A tangible instrument module allows a user to interact with the tangible instrument module for controlling a virtual element. A plurality of performance metric datasets representing results of the interactions between the user and the tangible instrument module is obtained. During execution of the interactive computer simulation, in the plurality of performance metric datasets, a plurality of actual maneuvers of the virtual element are detected during the training activity, one or more standard operating procedures (SOPs) are identified for the training activity from a plurality of the individually detected actual maneuvers. In real-time upon detection of the SOPs, information for display in the interactive computer simulation related the SOPs.

    摘要: A portable computing device and method for transmitting Instructor Operating Station (IOS) filtered information. A portable computing device receives IOS control and monitoring data from a simulation server, displays the IOS control and monitoring data on the portable computing device, and receives a selection by a user of at least one component of the displayed IOS control and monitoring data. The selection is performed by an interaction of the user with the displayed IOS control and monitoring data. The portable computing device determines IOS filtered information related to the selected at least one component, and transmits the IOS filtered information to a destination computing device. The determination of the IOS filtered information takes into consideration destination user access rights of a destination user. The destination device may be a simulator or a portable computing device, where the destination user performs a simulation session by interacting with the simulation server.

    摘要: A system for generating calibrated multi-channel non-coherent signals. The system comprises a plurality of synthesizers for generating a corresponding plurality of signals, and a plurality of filters for band-pass filtering the plurality of generated signals. Each filter filters the signal generated by one of the plurality of synthesizers, by performing the band-pass filtering in a dedicated frequency band. The system comprises a plurality of loudspeakers for playing the plurality of filtered signals respectively filtered by the plurality of filters. The system comprises a channel configurator for configuring at least one of the filters for performing the band-pass filtering according to a calibrated amplitude spectrum of the signal. The calibrated amplitude spectrum is determined based on a reference amplitude spectrum of the signal and at least one of the following parameters: a target global signal amplitude, a directionality of the signal when played by the corresponding loudspeaker, and a frequency response of the synthesizer.
