3D Simulation-as-a-service
Simulation everywhere in high quality on existing hardware
„3D Simulation-as-a-service“ is a Service with the aim to make high-definition simulation available on low-end-devices, older computers without high-end 3D-graphics card as well as on mobile devices such as smartphones and portable computers.
Explanation:
- 3D-Simulation on Demand describes the delivery of 3D-contents on demand focussing on particularly realtime delivery of the 3D-contents.
Under the slogan:
Everyone. At any time. At any place.
- 3D Simulation-as-a-service is an on Demand-offer, using cloud computing techniques.
- 3D-contents (Simulation) as a Service describes the service which is offered by 3D Simulation-as-a-service
Cloud Computing has already broken through. There is a suitable service for every purpose, no matter if transferring your data into the „Cloud“ in order to access it from everywhere, or if starting applications such as wordprocessing programs or photo-processing programs from the browser, or if using the cloud as exchange- or communication platform for your workgroup. By using the cloud no software is necessary anymore which must be installed on your computer. All programs are performed on servers which are accessible from everywhere over the internet. Since the year 2005 Cloud Computing is also used in the entertainment sector (Cloud Gaming).
The interactive 3D-learning contents (Simulations) are started and calculated on servers. Only the picture is streamed to the user by network. The user does not need powerful hardware anymore in order to be able to use current 3D-learning contents.
In this way, software like VBS3 (Virtual battlespace) or another 3D engine which requires a relatively high graphics performance, can be used on older computers. The only prerequesite is a networking connection to the computer. For the user there are no high purchase costs for new hardware. Furthermore, such 3D-applications no longer need to be installed or updated on each end user device.
3D Simulation-as-a-service enables the use of 3D-applications and contents on mobile devices like tablets and smart phones. All kinds of electronic devices can be used with a management software for PC, Mac and mobile devices as well as with set-top-boxes for televisions.
