LynX/Vega system architecture LynX tools Geometry, motion model, and Vega scene graph management Input Device management Eye point, viewport and graphic pipe management Graphic State Collision detection Database Coordinate System management System management and application optimization techniques Lighting, Environments, Environment effects Special Effects - fire, smoke, madness and mayhem Light Lobes - man made directional lights

Vega Audio - associating sound with graphic objects Vega Class Recorder (VCR) - recording and playing back scenarios. Constructing Realtime Models for use in Vega Vega structures and classes Vega Nomenclature Implement common API usage and coding techniques Controlling instances created with the GUI Collision detection data retrieval Dynamic class instance association and modification Coordinate system transformations

Upon finishing this course the student will be able to use LynX for setting up an Application Definition File containing geometry, motion models, dynamic objects, path navigation, environment effects and special effects. The student should be able to write an application interacting with an ADF using the basic Vega classes.

Software engineers who are familiar with real-time application including visual and flight simulation.

This course assumes a reasonable level of practical graphics experience. Students should be familiar with common visual simulation terminology and applications. One or more years of C/C++ programming is desired.

Instructor led course with lab book and hands on coding exercises.
