Project Details
- "The Optimized Synthetic InfraRed Interactive Simulation (OSIRIS) presents an immersive virtual environment for a simulated night-vision battle."
- "Players attempt to find other players in a thermal environment so they can lase their opponents before getting lased themselves."
- "In an ARL Stair Stepper device, [players] move through a forest of thermal trees over a high-fidelity terrain and view their environment through head-mounted displays. OSIRIS implements 3D thermal modeling, 2D infrared texture generation, infrared atmospheric effects, thermal sensor degradations, optimized scene rendering, high-fidelity terrain, aspect-unique trees, and dynamic terrain, all over a LAN via DIS protocols."
