Combine VAPS XT & Vega Prime

The Vega Prime and VAPS XT integrated solution is ideal for the creation of many kinds of 2-D graphical overlays for a 3-D scene.  These overlays could include a Heads-Up Display (HUD), vehicle controls, camera controls, menu systems, utilities and many other capabilities.   This integration is available out-of-the-box for all users of VAPS XT v.2.3 with Vega Prime v.2.2.1.1 and later versions.

Virtual Training Systems

2-D overlays for a 3-D scene are ideal for creating interactive training systems including aircraft and ground vehicle trainers, UAV trainers and instructor operator stations (IOS).   VAPS XT provides a powerful set of tools to create overlays with advanced graphical properties, including gradients, transparencies, fonts and shading.    The tool ships with a large number of objects to create realistic looking training systems.  Drag and drop actual system photos into the tool to create photo-realistic panels, cockpits and dashboards to combine with your cutting edge out-the-window view provided by Vega Prime. 

Embedded Training

A relatively new trend in training is to include training devices directly in the real vehicle, otherwise known as embedded training.  In this type of environment, the applications are executed from a ruggedized training computer that runs a desktop operating system with part of their input being provided by the real hardware controls that are available in the environment. This type of training situation allows trainees to be fully immersed in the final production environment and to be able to adapt a lot quicker to the real situations that they will soon encounter.  Users can deploy their training applications built with VAPS XT and Vega Prime on embedded computing systems designed for ruggedized use, such as the GE MAGIC1.
