Dynamic Digital Sand Table
ARMY RESEARCH OFFICE
Xenotran Corporation has developed a 3-Dimensional (3-D) geospatial terrain data modeling tool. The tool called the XenoVisionTM Mark III Dynamic Sand Table uses digital elevation data with a corresponding image file, and produces a 3-D, full color terrain model in less than 3 minutes. This model can be reconfigured with fresh data within the same time frame. The Mark III displays the 3-D terrain data models in a 4’x3’ large table format and allows for quick visualization of scenarios to support current operations, mission planning and rehearsal, and general situational awareness.
Applications
- Military and Commercial Significance:
- This terrain modeling-on-demand supports both commercial and government requirements for quick analysis of data, and allows for live video feeds and animation of activity played over the constructed models. The Mark III capabilities will revolutionize mission rehearsals and goes a long way in supporting mission accomplishment. The next generation of the Mark III will incorporate the ability to allow a second model to be computed while the first is being displayed and instantaneously construct the next model without the current erase, and rebuild time.
- Xenotran’s innovative new technology has been in substantial publications in 2004 such as Federal Computer Week, Geo-Intelligence, Geo-Spatial, and Directions Magazine. This unique visualization product, previously unimaginable, is now a reality and will emerge as the leader of data analysis tools that support the Army and the Federal Government.
