The Australasian Simulation Congress (formerly SimTecT), held from Sept. 26 - 29 in Victoria, Australia, is the simulation industry’s premier conference in Australia and Asia. Bohemia Interactive Simulations is a Gold Sponsor of ASC 2016 and will be demonstrating the latest VBS technologies for virtual reality, game-based simulation and image generation.
To schedule a demonstration in advance, contact Wendy Turner at wendy.turner@bisimulations.com or call the Australia office at +61 (0)2 49 842 559.
What you’ll see from Bohemia Interactive Simulations at ASC 2016
VBS and Virtual Reality
With a synthetic environment generated by VBS Blue, BISim’s prototype whole-earth rendering technology, the VR flight simulator combines the D-BOX Motion-Cueing System and Ausimtech sim chair and controllers with the Oculus Rift CV1 to provide a highly immersive training environment. An integrated Leap Motion hand-tracking sensor enables users to see their own hands in the virtual space and freely interact with a highly detailed virtual crew station that simulates the job performance environment. The avionics, weapon systems and flight models of an F-18 and artificially intelligent entities will be simulated by the Flex-Air application from SA Simulations.
VBS IG
BISim will also demonstrate VBS IG, our highly capable and cost-effective image generation solution, on a 4-metre dome supplied by Immersaview in various modes of use including an observation post for a JTAC using SimCentric Technologies’ VBS3 Fires FST with virtual binoculars and a sniper training system. Applied Virtual Simulation is providing BISim with virtual binoculars and virtual sniper scope for this demonstration.
VBS3
See the latest features and capabilities in VBS3. VBS3 includes a range of new features, content, and updates. The newest version VBS3 v3.9.1 features detailed updates of tools such as a new close air support system and expanded artillery strike feature, making it easier for scenario editors and administrators to incorporate these elements into training. VBS3, which is used by hundreds of thousands of military personnel worldwide for training and simulation, provides a highly immersive virtual environment that helps military personnel train on tactics, rehearse for missions, and practice standard operating procedures.
Government-Industry Integration Exercise
BISim is pleased to participate in the DMT (Distributed Mission Training) event called Exercise Virtual Pacific (“VirPac”) 2016. This event will showcase the distributed simulation capabilities of different simulation systems across the industry for an amphibious and non-combatant evacuation operation. BISim and VBS products will be used in three separate vignettes for the exercise.
Panel Discussion: The Future of Game-Based Training
On Wednesday, Sept. 28, BISim Co-CEO Pete Morrison will participate as a speaker on a panel discussion titled “The Future of Game-Based Training.” The panel will discuss the evolution and research which is at the forefront of ‘serious’ game based training. Panellists will explore trusted autonomous game based training, dynamic behavioural analysis and user engagement. Others will predict the future of game based technology – and inspire our community to harness its explosive potential.
Awards Dinner
BISim is sponsoring the Simulation Australasia Annual Awards dinner. The dinner starts at 18:15 in the Victory Room of Etihad Stadium.
TerraSim a BISim company, is a leading technology company that specializes in the development of advanced software solutions to automate geospatial source data preparation and terrain generation. Their products are designed to be flexible, scalable, and compatible by continuing to support the widest range of visual, constructive, and serious game runtimes in the military simulation and training industry.

Ausimtech specializes in the delivery of medium fidelity custom driving and flight simulator solutions for entertainment and training purposes. Their products are suitable for private and commercial applications. They are providing simulator chairs and controls for BISim’s VR-based demo.
D-BOX Technologies Inc. designs, manufactures and markets cutting-edge motion systems mainly suited for the entertainment and industrial simulation industries. This unique patented technology, D-BOX Motion Code, uses motion effects programmed for each visual content which are sent to a motion system. The resulting motion is perfectly synchronized with the on-screen action, thus creating an unmatched realistic, immersive experience.
D-BOX Motion plugin for VBS3 allows users to simply connect any VBS application to D-BOX Motion Solution and to feel the action. With the D-BOX Motion plugin, any desktop-based application can be transformed into a more immersive simulator. BISim's VBS IG will feature D-BOX's Motion Solution.
Immersaview is a global leader in visualisation software with offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Orlando, and London. Their advanced connection network VADAAR offers an after-action-review solution in training and simulation environments.
SimCentric Technologies is a software industry leader in unique procedural, behavioral and training support applications. These tools enhance the quality VBS environment, delivering tangible, relevant and scalable training outcomes.
