Quantum3D, Inc., today announced that a division of Lockheed Martin, specializing in systems integration of military aircraft, has selected Quantum3D's IData Human Machine Interface (HMI) toolset to support the simulation and embedded display of graphical information shown on cockpit displays.

The IData HMI toolset will provide systems engineers at Lockheed Martin Systems Integration in Owego, NY, and at its facility in Havant, UK, with a breakthrough approach to developing graphical information shown on cockpit displays. Instead of employing outdated code generation methods, the IData toolset outputs data defining the HMI's graphics and behavior. This approach can significantly reduce the time and expense in each phase of the embedded display lifecycle, from prototyping and simulation through development and deployment of the embedded target application. The tools re-define how HMI rapid prototyping can be done by allowing engineers to try new HMI behaviors and "looks" without ever stopping the target system or needing to recompile code. Feedback is instantaneous and changes are literally made "on the fly."

Quantum3D, Inc., a leading provider of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) real-time visual computing solutions, today announced a new release of IData, its flagship Human Machine Interface (HMI) toolkit. IData version 3.0.4 adds a DO-178B certified widget library, ARINC 661 capabilities, new 3D user interface (UI) capabilities, and new digital mapping features including TeleAtlas street-level data and TerraMetrics TruEarth Global Satellite Imagery and TerraBlocks terrain rendering. Applications for unmanned vehicles, first responders, helicopters, in-flight entertainment, synthetic vision application, and others can now leverage these important new capabilities.
