Simulator features

Our simulators make use of the latest technology in graphics, physics and engineering.

The software we use has been developed and used for many years, and is always in constant evolution. It has proven to be highly reliable, efficient and powerful, making it possible to create and adapt simulators in less time and at a lower cost.

The main features of our software are:

  • Highly realistic graphics system
    Able to reproduce complex scenarios. Taking advantage of the latest technology in graphics systems we are able to achieve photorealistic results. To get as close as possible to reality we consider all kinds of light parameters, material properties and geological data. We aim to achieve a total immersion experience.
  • Advanced physics system
    Able to compute complex interactions. By using real physic properties we can simulate the behavior of all kinds of machinery and environments. These range from such things as realistic collisions to explosions, drilling, excavation and driving.
  • Three dimensional sound
    Including sound adds realism and gives valuable information. In some cases, like in the event of an alert or engine malfunction, it might even be essential. We handle positional sound effects, Doppler and echo just to name a few.
  • Meteorological conditions
    Making it possible to recreate day/night scenarios, rain, wind or snow.
  • Collaborative simulations
    Our multi-user system can handle different simulators at the same time interacting in the same environment. This enables collaborative training exercises to take place simultaneously.
  • Training, evaluation and analysis system
    Able to create and manage users, groups of users and excercises. The instructor can assign and evaluate excercises checking its execution data. Data can be stored and consulted locally or remotely through the Internet.

Depending on requirements and budget it is possible to go for a simpler or more complex solution. From a simple PC with basic input to full cabins with advanced visualization and platform systems, our experts are able to design and use all kinds of technology for your projects.

  • Real cabins and components
    From basic seating to whole cabins with real equipment and controls. Progress in machinery goes towards automatization and computerization. Our solutions can communicate with the real hardware (levers, buttons, display, software and hardware) to achieve more realism and keep the same look and feel.
  • Visualization systems
    From simple PC monitors to multiple channel displays, plasma screens or projectors supporting wide fields of view. Our software is ready to be used with all these systems.
  • Audio equipment
    From simple headphones or desktop speakers to 5.1 configurations making use of positional audio to increase realism.
  • Motion platforms
    From simple platforms with two degrees of freedom to complex configurations supporting different weights, six degrees of freedom or inertia simulators. All these systems make it possible to simulate engine vibrations, irregular terrain, complex machine behavior or even flights. All of this is naturally done with the maximum safety measures in place.
