(VAR) of Carmel Applied Technologies, Inc. (CATI CATI Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing CATI California Agricultural Technology Institute CATI Center for Advanced Technology & Innovation CATI Carolina Association of Translators & Interpreters ) X-IG(TM) Run-Time Scene Generator A scene generator is a computer model that creates a world representation using phenomenology, physics, and behavioral models, to achieve an useful rendition of the domain of interest. software. Under the terms of the VAR agreement, E&S will offer X-IG bundled with its simFUSION(TM) PC-based image generator. The bundled package provides visual simulation for a variety of applications, including helicopter training, fixed wing, ground based, and marine applications. "Offering simFUSION and X-IG together allows us to provide our customers high-performance hardware and software solutions for their visual simulation needs," said Jeff Kirk, E&S PC Simulation director. "X-IG is the perfect complement to the image quality and OpenGL(TM) capabilities of simFUSION." "In many of our applications, we have found that the simFUSION systems provide us a significant discriminator dis·crim·i·na·tor n. 1. One that discriminates. 2.
