Vega Prime

Vega Prime, with its cross-platform, scalable environment, is the most productive COTS toolkit for real-time 3D application development and deployment.

Providing the only framework you need to rapidly configure, create, and deploy advanced simulation applications, Vega Prime delivers the tools you need for the optimal end-to-end solution. And, because it allows for the easy integration of new or existing code, Vega Prime offers tremendous cost and time savings by improving your asset utilization and re-use.

Through features and functionality designed specifically for the requirements of visual simulation, Vega Prime provides developers and programmers with the means to rapidly and flexibly develop high performance applications with minimum effort and maximum productivity and flexibility. Based on the Vega Scene Graph (VSG) advanced cross platform scene graph API, Vega Prime includes

• an advanced abstraction API for ease of use and increased productivity,
• the LynX Prime GUI configuration tool for accelerating the creation and delivery of your real-time 3D applications for simulation, training, and general visualization.

Presagis also offers several powerful COTS application-specific modules that work with Vega Prime for solving the challenges of real-time 3D application development. The Vega Prime infrastructure allows you to create your own custom development modules and to scale the functionality based on the complexity of the application.

Extendable architecture

Vega Prime delivers the infrastructure needed for the optimal end-to-end solution. Its extendable architecture supports a high degree of customization, allowing you to tailor the application to fit your design rather than altering your software to fit within a product's constraints. In addition, its scalable architecture prevents unnecessary performance overhead because you are able to scale the functionality based on the complexity of the application.

Plug-in architecture

Ideal for both high performance and low cost hardware platforms, Vega Prime's plug-in architecture facilitates the rapid design and prototyping of real-time 3D applications. With access to all of the functionality available in VSG while providing an enhanced level of functionality, ease-of-use, and productivity, Vega Prime allows you to spend more time on the application-specific functionality required by your project.

Vega Prime development environment

Vega Prime provides a development environment designed specifically to increase your ability to rapidly create and deploy advanced real-time 3D applications. In addition to the flexibility of VSG and the ease of use of a GUI configuration tool, Vega Prime delivers such functionality as environment effects, motion models, coordinate systems, virtual texture, and path/navigator tools.
