Bengaluru: Hyper-graphics with ultra high resolution visuals, digitally stitched together to mimic reality as it is. Project this on a curved canvas, and you are ready with the perfect setting for a helicopter simulator like no other.
This is exactly what the American firm, Rockwell Collins and Indian simulation major, Zen Technologies teamed up to showcase to the Indian armed forces and other visitors at the Aero-India 2015. A firsthand experience by Deccan Herald had the realism take on a distinct Bengaluru tilt.
As the copter cockpit seat tilted in tandem, the simulator screen shifted from a default American terrain to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). A decisive turn on the control here and a turn there, and the copter was suddenly flying right over the airport. Vehicles moved photo-realistically on the periphery.
The message was clear: That the graphics on the hi-fidelity screen could be customised in any way. Designed for this was the synergy between Rockwell’s high-contrast projectors and its EPE 8000 computer graphics, and Zen Technologies’ display system and database.
The graphics are completely programmable, explained a Rockwell Collins engineer.
