Kimberly, In case anyone doubts Perceptronics ability to bring this tech out: Perceptronics' IC3D Technology is based on the Company's pioneering and hugely successful work with DARPA and the U.S. Army to develop SIMNET – the large-scale network of 3D tank, vehicle and aircraft simulators. SIMNET was the world's first virtual reality combat training system – and is still being used to train combat troops today. The breakthrough SIMNET paradigm was that each simulator created its own virtual 3D battlefield that included representations of all other simulators. Computing was completely distributed and the information communicated among simulators was the minimum necessary to assure that each appeared and interacted accurately and realistically in the others' virtual worlds. SIMNET's outstanding success led the DoD to develop industry-wide protocols for connecting all its virtual simulators, so very large-scale training exercises involving tens of thousands of discrete entities could be conducted. These protocols include DIS (Distributed Interactive Simulation), HLA (High Level Architecture) and RTI (Run Time Infrastructure). The protocols provide an efficient, effective means for high-speed communication among many simulators over large, worldwide networks. The R&D to develop, test and apply the HLA/RTI technology cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The paradigm for Internet Collaborative 3D is basically the same as for SIMNET. That is, powerful PCs connected to the Internet create local 3D simulations of virtual worlds and efficient HLA-based communication lets these worlds be shared interactively among many users. The proven DoD protocols provide a scientific, technically proven, pre-paid architecture for developing Perceptronics' new Internet Collaborative 3D technology. If HLA did not exist, we would have to invent something just like it to accomplish IC3D on a large scale. Since it does exist – we can move on quickly and confidently.
