The second annual Multigen Paradigm User Forum was organised by EDS Technologies, the only authorised distributor of this high end real time visual simulation software in India.

The second annual Multigen Paradigm User Forum was held on 18th October 2006, and was organised by EDS Technologies, the only authorised distributor of this high end real time visual simulation software in India.

EDS Technologies is responsible for implementing real time visual simulation solutions in some of the key establishments across the country in key segments such as defence, aerospace and automotive.

The focus of the day-long event revolved around providing simulation tool users a deeper insight into the latest trends in the visual simulation domain as well as helping customers to rapidly create realistic cost effective audio/visual simulations through the innovative use of the latest software tools.

These included end-to-end content creation and delivery solutions for a wide variety of applications including flight simulation, sensor and infra-red (IR) solutions, urban simulation, 3D GIS simulation, simulator training and audio simulation.

"Understanding the changing requirements and reacting positively to these is what drives EDS Technologies".

"Our goal, in the past 11 years, has always been to make our customers successful by providing end-to-end software solutions for domestic as well as global clients", said S Senthil, President, EDS Technologies.

More than 60 real time visual simulation (RTVS) tool users in the country, right from leading defence organisations to smaller firms working in niche segments in simulation technologies/services for domestic as well as global clients, came together to learn about state-of-the-art simulation systems Several demonstrations of cutting edge PC-based tactical military trainers, desktop simulators that created various scenarios where simulation can be used, demonstration of high-end 3D projection systems used with simulation tools for training delivery systems such as night-time warfare training and battle tank training simulation were some of the key highlights of the conference The need to impart state-of-the-art tactical training techniques even for nonwarfare simulation exercises such as marine and navy operations, disaster relief efforts, airport traffic controller simulation, security control and simulation for various high security installations, 3D sports simulators, town planning simulation, driving simulators was also stressed.

The event also featured demonstration by Barco Systems, a world leader in professional markets, offering display and visualisation solutions.

Barco systems designs and develops solutions for large screen visualisation and display of high end simulation and virtual reality solutions.

Apart from this, the forum also had in-depth presentations and discussions on simulation products like Creator Terrain Bundle, Creator Terrain Studio, Vega Prime, VR Link, VR Forces, MAK Gateway etc among others.

These were followed by case studies and paper presentations from some of Multigen's key simulation customers across India.

The forum also featured an exciting contest, the Ultimate Creator Contest, for all end users.

Participants in this contest had to submit a brief synopsis of the project they are working on using any Multigen Paradigm tool and the best project would be awarded prizes.
