From Space to Blades of Grass

Blue IG provides high-fidelity and high-performance rendering from space down to blades of grass. It offers unlimited view distances with ground detail unmatched by any other simulation. Blue IG provides a baseline global terrain that is procedurally enhanced from real-world data, offers users the option to blend procedural terrain with satellite imagery or high-resolution terrain, and even enables users to override the procedural terrain to use satellite imagery and other data directly.

No New Formats Needed

Blue IG offers a modular architecture that separates a high-performance, whole-earth rendering engine from a global terrain database concept. Rather than introduce a new compiled terrain format, a plug-in architecture allows multiple industry standard formats to be passed to the renderer, allowing integrators to respond quickly and offer effective simulation solutions.

VR/AR Ready Out of the Box

Blue IG supports Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality uses with greater than 90hz refresh rates. It is perfectly suited for commercial-off-the-shelf VR head-mounted displays like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Open VR-supported devices for fast-motion flight simulation and motion platforms.

Use on Any Simulator

Blue IG can be used across individual part-task trainers, VR/AR solutions and full-motion simulators with multiple synchronized displays. Using the Common Image Generator Interface (CIGI) standard, Blue IG integrates with existing host software including VBS4 and VBS3. TerraTools from TerraSim, a BISim^TM company, makes it easy to add new high-resolution terrain areas and custom data sets to Blue IG.

VBS in Action | Driver Training

The U.S. Army uses a version of VBS IG (the predecessor of Blue IG) for simulating tanks and armored vehicles in driver and convoy training.
