Abstract :
GDE Systems Inc. has created a prototype virtual training simulator of the advanced support equipment test set (a GDE Systems Inc. missile/bomb tester). This prototype incorporates CAD geometry, photo-specific texture maps, audio feedback, dynamic motion, and simulated human-machine interaction. We have developed methods to migrate these technologies to the desktop personal computer and distributed competing environment using Internet tools such as the virtual reality modeling language (VRML) this will enable wide distribution of virtual reality (VR) models to desktop users at air logistic centers, depots, and training facilities
