DiSTI Announces Partnership with Havok to provide GL Studio integration into Havok’s Vision Engine

ORLANDO, Fla. - Dec. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- The DiSTI Corporation, a leading provider of graphical user interface software and customized 3-D virtual maintenance training solutions, announces a formal agreement with Havok to integrate and resell GL Studio in conjunction with Havok’s full simulation framework. This agreement will allow Havok’s customers to easily create GL Studio HMI content and render this within Havok’s Vision engine.  Both DiSTI and Havok will be highlighting this new capability at the IITSEC conference December 1-4 in Orlando, FL.

The Havok Vision Engine is the foundation technology within the Havok Simulation Framework, a cross-platform 3d visualization toolset that provides a powerful and versatile multi-platform runtime technology optimized to render extremely complex scenes at smooth frame rates. The Havok Simulation Framework is a complete end-to-end training solution that accurately simulates air, land and sea environments and leads the market by offering full physics, destruction and AI simulation inside world class visuals. By integrating GL Studio user interface content developers can now introduce an additional level of realism in the cockpits, instrumentation, and dashboards presented to the simulation developer and end user.

“The integration of GL Studio content into Havok’s Vision Engine offers our mutual customers a very powerful solution for their realtime applications,” said Joe Swinski, President of DiSTI.

“We’re big fans of the work that the talented guys at DiSTI have been doing” said Cory Kumm, Worldwide Director of Military & Simulation at Havok. “Through this integration we’re further extending the development possibilities of the Havok Simulation Framework. Now our users will be able to create accurate simulated instrumentation in addition to highly realistic Havok Physics based simulated vehicles for a complete range of vehicle simulation capability. ”
