ViewSDK is Nav3D's core software development toolkit, providing a "platform" for our other software modules that receive sensor inputs, import databases, and display that information on a SV display. It allows you to incorporate navigation sensor data, import a 3D environment representing the region of operation, and add guidance and symbology information to create a SV display that improves user performance and situational awareness. Nav3D's ViewSDK is based on the following requirements for real-world Synthetic Vision systems:

• Integrates with a wide range of navigation sensors
• Supports precise image registration on a global scale
• Works with embedded hardware and operating systems

Feature Highlights:

• Realtime data input from multiple navigation sources such as GPS, DGPS, intertial systems, etc.
• Integrates with scene manager SDK's (such as Quantum3D's OpenGVS), allowing import of Openflight, 3DS Max, and other 3D model formats
• Import of OpenFlight, TerraPage, and TerraPage2 terrain databases
• Integrates with third-party terrain engines
• Fully compatible with your OpenGL code - library functions integrate with your existing code base
• Large database support
• Accurate image registration with flat-earth and round-earth databases
• Full control over angle of view
• Texture and stroke fonts for symbolic overlay
• Infinite internal and external views - orbiting cameras respond to user input to look back at the user from any angle, and flyable cameras allow the user to explore surroundings without actually moving
• Software applications built with ViewSDK work both in simulation and in the operational environment
• Can be used in conjunction with electro-optical, infrared, and/or millimeter-wave sensors to create hybrid enhanced vision displays
