Washington, DC. National Critical Technologies Concurrent Symposia Series. Meeting rooms will be located in close proximity so that you may choose to attend presentations (each lasting 30 minutes) in different areas. Below are symposia in the area of Virtual Reality/Simulation. VIRTUAL REALITY/SIMULATION - Wednesday, Nov. 9, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM 10:30 VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR TRAINING AND EDUCATION R. Bowen Loftin, University of Houston--Downtown; Robert T. Savely, Chris Culbert, and Laura Pusch, Johnson Space Center; Mark Engleberg, Jeff Hoblit, Pat Kenney, Tim Saito, and Mark Voss, LinCom; and Lac Nguyen, I-NET Space Services Inc. Researchers at NASA Johnson's Software Technology Branch have shown that integrating virtual environments (VEs) with Intelligent Computer--Aided Training technology can reduce the cost and increase the availability of training that relies on expensive and often unique simulators. They also have demonstrated the ability to share VEs over long distances for collective training and concurrent engineering. 11:00 THE SIMULATION VIRTUAL MACHINE Kenneth Hill, Real--Time Sessions Manager, Johnson Space Center The SVM is a real-time simulation executive developed at JSC for the Space Station Verification and Training Facility. Flexible, portable, and easily maintained, the SVM offers applications for commercial airlines as well as surface transportation systems such as high-- speed passenger trains. 11:30 ULTRA--HIGH--RESOLUTION MINIATURE COLOR CRT FOR VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATIONS Bernie Vancil, FDE Association; Edwin G. Wintucky, Lewis Research Center A low--power, miniature, full--color cathode--ray tube developed at NASA Lewis offers superior viewing capability for helmet--mounted and virtual reality applications. The CRT employs an improved oxide cathode, a single electron gun, a screen containing a multiplicity of red, green, and blue phosphor lines, and a movable slotted shadow mask interposed between the screen and gun. 12:00 INTEGRATION OF SIMULATION WITH FIELDED EQUIPMENT USING DIS Phil Landweer, BDM Federal Seamless integration of constructive, virtual, and live simulations is achieved through use of a Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant interface. Used by the Army to integrate field equipment with a simulated battle for training purposes, such an architecture could be used to integrate other geographically separate training devices--such as simulators, computer--based training workstations, or part--task trainers--via phone lines, digital networks, or commercial satellite communications. The Fifth National Technology Transfer Conference & Exposition November 8-10, 1994 Washington, DC Convention Center Sponsored by NASA, NASA Tech Briefs, and the Technology Utilization Foundation, in cooperation with the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer.
