Vortex is for developers who build physics-based interactive envoronments for robust and accurate visual-simulation. It is a software development toolkit that easily integrates within real-time simulator applications and scenegraphs. Vortex is the engine inside the Vortex for VR-Vantage module.

  • High-fidelity wheeled and tracked vehicle dynamics integrated within interactive environments
  • Real-time simulation of rigid-body dynamics and collision together with vehicles, particles, cable systems, buoyancy and environmental physics.
  • Interoperability with industry-leading tools and scenegraphs, such as VR-Vantage.
  • Validated software with more than 100 defense and industrial applications.
  • Optimized for modeling flexibility with high fidelity, speed, and stability
  • Fast and accurate collision detection based on geometric primitives and 3D poly-meshes.

Vortex has been integrated into many real-time applications in order to provide realistic behavior and interaction.

  • Vehicle training simulators operating in realistic virtual worlds.
  • Virtual proving grounds for autonomous vehicles and robotics.
  • Tactical battlefield environments with high-fidelity vehicles.
  • Remotely operated vehicles in sub-sea environments
  • Heavy equipment operational training and interaction with realistic grasping, lifting, and manipulation.
  • Interactive physics driven virtual environments for training, education, and play.
  • Integration with motion platforms and haptics devices for immersive VR systems
