Norwegian display specialist 3D Perception will supply its Northstar immersive visual display system to two major international emergency management training centres next year. The company has been contracted for these systems by ETC Simulation (Environmental Tectonics Corporation, Southampton, PA and Orlando, FL).

ETC’s Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS) provides physics-based simulation of hazards such as fire and smoke, including the capacity for sudden changes of circumstance – such as wind direction and strength, for example – that make realistic training challenging and productive for students. ETC has contracted 3D Perception to provide the displays for two further international disaster management training centres during 2015 on the back of a successful Northstar installation at Concordia University’s Homeland Security Simulation Center in Portland, OR, late in 2014.
The multi-projector, large field-of-view, high resolution displays provide trainees with engagement that is not only realistic but also, importantly, life sized, in a variety of scenarios ranging from crowd control to terrorist events.
3D also won a contract in September to provide a Northstar system for an air traffic management research application in Singapore. The company will highlight both successes on booth 865 at I/ITSEC 2014 in Orlando, FL, this week, at which it will also be providing support to Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (booth 2401).
