Strategic partnership of Engenuity Technologies and Diamond Visionics
ushers in next generation of training and simulation
Engenuity Technologies Inc. of Montreal, a global leader in visualization and simulation software solutions, and New York-based Diamond Visionics will work together to enhance the functionality of Engenuity’s STAGE simulation toolkit by integrating Diamond Visionics’ GenesisRT (Worldwide Database) product. This new partnership will bring a more powerful toolset to Engenuity’s next-generation simulation offering, and drive growth in new vertical markets such as urban simulation, homeland security and serious games.
Engenuity Technologies' products and services are currently used by more than 800 customers in 40 countries, including many of the world’s largest aerospace, defense and automotive organizations. Engenuity has offices and distributors throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
“It is clear there are major changes afoot in the military simulation and training market, and the requirement to rapidly produce high fidelity, highly realistic and accurately correlated visuals in simulation scenarios is one of the most important changes,” said David Gdovin, president and founding partner of Diamond Visionics. “By partnering with Engenuity and bringing the GenesisRT technology to STAGE, we will be placing ourselves on the forefront of technological innovation.”
GenesisRT allows users to rapidly produce high-quality visual databases directly from source data, thereby enabling changes to be instantly visualized. Unlike fixed or static databases developed offline, GenesisRT automatically and continually loads terrain and other multiple types of source data into the simulation at runtime, as the user requires it. Using GenesisRT, a simulation no longer needs to be limited by the boundaries of the terrain database – it can potentially span the world.
GenesisRT will bring a highly advanced visual system to the industry-leading STAGE toolkit for unparalleled visual flexibility when developing simulation scenarios for both ground and air.
“Teaming up with Diamond Visionics brings together the very best in cutting-edge VizSim technologies,” says Patrice Commune, CEO of Engenuity Technologies. “Together, our companies will leverage our mutual strengths to develop more powerful long-term solutions that address the requirements of next-generation simulations.”
The first customer shipment is targeted for the end of 2006.

Diamond Visionics' Graham Upton is among presenters at
2005 Huntsville Terrain Summit
Graham Upton, Diamond Visionics' vice president of new business development, will present a paper on visualization technology at the 2005 Huntsville Terrain Summit in Huntsville, Ala. Nov. 7-8. The paper will examine the development of low cost, high fidelity, real-time visualization capabilities and the implementation of techniques for efficiently organizing and sorting large amounts of visualization data. Upton will also discuss the significant advantages of "on-the-fly" databases and compare them with the traditional approach of offline database modeling.

Diamond Visionics Partners With Concurrent to Deliver Aerospace Simulation Software to Top Ten Defense Supplier
Diamond Visionics has partnered with Concurrent Computer Corp., a leading worldwide provider of integrated computer solutions for mission-critical applications headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, to provide the highest levels of computer-generated image quality and fidelity to a top ten supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Concurrent’s ImaGen platform features the latest industry-standard components from leading graphics suppliers, ensuring that application developers have access to the best possible COTS IG solutions. Typical ImaGen imaging applications include civil and military simulation, mission planning, homeland security, scientific and medical visualization, architectural design, energy exploration and entertainment.
“Our initial experience with Concurrent’s ImaGen platform demonstrated unparalleled performance and reliability,” said Graham Upton, Diamond Visionics' vice president of new business development. “We are contracted by a world-leading aerospace company, and Concurrent not only delivered a premier platform for those simulation needs, but further demonstrated their commitment with an expeditious two-week turnaround. We look forward to continuing to build on our relationship with Concurrent.”
“Diamond Visionics is a respected leader in real-time visual solutions, and our ImaGen visual platform was able to meet their stringent requirements for real-time deterministic, high-fidelity performance to ensure the most realistic training experience possible,” said Gary Beerman, director of marketing for Concurrent's Integrated Solutions Division.
Diamond Visionics has also become an authorized reseller of ImaGen visual servers and iHawk-related products through membership in Concurrent's new channel partner program.
By joining the new program, Diamond Visionics will be able to offer its customers an integrated image generation solution using Concurrent's ImaGen visual server and Diamond Visionics' image generation software products.
This integrated solution will provide customers with a proven and reliable hardware platform using the latest in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) graphics engines and dynamically generated image databases.
Concurrent iHawk and ImaGen COTS systems platforms, featuring the RedHawk Linux real-time operating system, enable partners to respond to a broader set of specific market needs faster, while maintaining the highest levels of quality and service.
"We are pleased to team with Diamond Visionics to offer our customers a virtual one-stop shop for completely integrated Linux-based PC-IG solutions.
