I/ITSEC 2008 - The next generation in 3D immersive simulation platforms, LitePod", debuts at the 2008 Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC). The newest offering from Organic Motion, the advanced computer vision software company, offers a leap forward in training and simulation education technology by allowing trainees to interact directly with virtual environments, without the use of
body suits or tracking devices. LitePod is ideal for any type of realistic training, including uses for armed services, industry, academia and various government agencies.
"LitePod makes it possible for people to interact, evaluate and learn how to act and react in new immersive environments naturally, without the use of markers" says Andrew Tschesnok, CEO, Organic Motion. "The ability to study and refine one"s movements, while immersed in simulated scenarios, can ultimately improve efficiency, response time, and can even save lives. Additionally, the advanced real-time display allows for multiple units to be simultaneously connected, giving an entire regiment the ability to train together, even from different locations"
The standalone LitePod systems are capable of capturing and digitizing a subject"s complete range of motion, and can be upgraded to include movements in the hand and fingers, multiple subjects, the positioning of props or inanimate objects used by the trainees, and facial movements. The robust systems are designed with rugged materials for heavy duty use, by hundreds of trainees in rapid succession. Additionally, LitePod seamlessly integrates with the latest 3D engines to display live motion data in any virtual environment
Organic Motion"s computer vision technology is the key building block in the development of next generation computer interfaces, such as LitePod. Unlike traditional virtual reality and motion capture systems which require the subject to put on special devices and tracking bodysuits, users can simply wear their regular clothing or uniforms and instantly have their movements digitized. LitePod leverages the company"s OpenSTAGE platform, which provides completely adaptable markerless motion capture to create unique applications for a number of industries.
