To provide inside of its facilities, all the necessary infrastructure for the accomplishment of the works of development of the SENSORIAL SIMULATOR Project OF VEHICLES' MOVEMENTS & INTERACTIVE-DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION.

To implement and to enable compatibility with VR hardware, haptic systems and haptic feedback gloves with the generated virtual cockpits in the 3D environment of the flight simulation software. Modeling of the virtual pilot with visualization of the arms and legs through the tracking of the actions of the real pilot limbs in the Cyberball.

To develop the software for aircraft simulation (3D engine, physics engine), as well as the content for this (3D models, textures, scenarios) and all the related technology. To develop simulation software. To develop audio-visual content for the simulator. To carry through the integration of the accurate flight data and performance of the real aircraft and to calibrate them towards best accuracy needed for training. Integration of Cyberball multi-user version, with a center for remote training..

ADVANCED SIMULATION

ASSI is contributing for the technical development and advertising of the Cyberball throughout the last six years. ASSI will contribute for the development of the Cyberball with technical analysis and research in solutions for Helmet Mounted Devices (HMD) with separate image channels; - System of human movement tracking equipment and its interface (gloves of haptic feedback, HMD etc.); - Analysis of movement control for manufacture; - Project of reconfigurable station operation consisting of seat, side consoles, interchangeable flight commands and quickly configurable ergonomics to allow a wide range of vehicles to be simulated by the same Cyberball; - Electromechanical control of force-feedback for interface equipment associated with the human operator; - Development of software to generate 3D cockpit image where the controls and switches in the 3D image can be seen and manipulated by the haptic-feedback interface of the Cyberball.

To provide and execute image processing of high resolution IKONOS (1 meter) imagery of air bases in Brazil; To provide and execute image processing of average resolution imagery (30 meters) for the total area of the Brazilian territory; To provide and execute image processing of high resolution MDT ASTER imagery (15 meters) of airports and air bases in Brazil; To provide and execute image processing of MDT SRTM/NASA imagery of average resolution for the total area of the Brazilian territory;;

3D modeling of buildings, airports, key monuments and landmarks, thus, cities can be represented with more life-like form, creating a better sensation of realism to the pilot in the simulation.

Development of the electro-electronic subsystem (SEE). Development of structural/ mechanical subsystem/(SME). Study of adequacy to the diverse norms, like: norms of security and ergonomics, international norms for electronic/ electrotechnical equipment, etc. Revision of the Prototype with the objective to identify needed alterations, define techniques and, a first version (batch) or series of the simulator as product.

To provide inside of its facilities, all the necessary infrastructure for the accomplishment of the works of development of the Sensorial Simulator Project of Vehicles' Movements.
