Image Generator v-IGTM

v-IG - our
next generation image generator based on OpenSceneGraph - is designed to create photorealistic environments on COTS PC hardware. It is designed to efficiently use the computational power and the programmability of the latest graphics hardware to reach highest levels of visual fidelity.  Currently v-IG supports Linux systems. An MS-Windows®version is planned for the near future.

Due to its flexible software design v-IG can be easily extended or adapted to application-specific needs by the use of existing or user-supplied plug-ins. This allows the realization of user-specific functionality like host communication or dynamic model animation without touching the core application.

Our screen shots and videos page gives you an overview of the graphical capabilities of v-IG.

Image Generator Integration Services
VIRES offers complete image generation systems consisting of hard- and software. Depending on customer's requirements and infrastructure VIRES may also deliver IG software for an already existing hardware. Our IGs can be configured as single- or multi-channel systems with all channels being either software-synchronized or gen-locked (depending on hardware fidelity). Systems for up to eight channels have been installed and operated successfully in the past.
