Technological
Resource description
The simulator Delta3D is an open source game and simulation engine built for military training. Delta3d is a widely used, community-supported, open-source game and simulation engine. Delta3d is appropriate for a wide variety of uses
including training, education, visualization and entertainment. Delta3d is unique because it offers features specifically suited to the Modeling, Simulation and DoD communities, such as the High Level Architecture (HLA), After Action Review (AAR), large scale terrain support and SCORM Learning Management System (LMS) integration. It has a modular design integrating other engines such as Open Scene Graph, Open Dynamics Engine, Character Animation Library and OpenAL. The renders engine uses the Open Graphics Library.
Sample of use in education with students with IDD
By offering a controlled environment to practice, simulations allow educators and students to experiment, receive feedback, and improve their skills without the immediate consequences of working with real-robots.
