Advanced Simulation GraphicsLincom, Houston, TX

• Innovation
• Developed a high-level Icon based interface
  that promotes
• the design of 3-D graphics application
  software.
• Designed to enhance and accommodate the basic
  concepts
• of the Programmers Hierarchical Interactive
  Graphics
• Standard (PHIGS) by providing an active
  visual interface.

• Accomplishments
• Developed a software product called Phigs
  Tool ä
• Prototype tested by simulation users in the
  integrated Graphics
• and operations Analysis laboratory (IGOAL),
  and
• Communications Tracking Division at NASA
  JSC.

• Commercialization
  
• LinCom Corporation has been purchased by the
  Titan Corporation (NYSETTN).
• Headquartered in San Diego, California, The
  Titian Corporation is an incubator of technology
  based commercial business, offering innovative
  and advanced technical solutions.
• Titan has 3,400 employees, annualized sales of
  approximately
• 500 million and total backlog in excess of
  1 billion.
• Spin-off products include the Simulation Display
  Driver and
• Enigma, a graphics simulation interface.

Graphical Simulation Process Example

• Government/Science Applications
• Provided NASA with rapid-prototyping tool-kit
  for graphical
• simulations including astronaut training.
• Phigs Tool ä led to the development of a
  program called Tree
• Display Manage (TDM) which led to ENIGMA,
  which is used in
• the IGOAL at NASA JSC.
• A derivative of the PhigsTool ä and SimTool
  Interface in use by
• the CT Division personnel at JSC
