APPARATUS AND METHOD OF IMPROVING PRESENTATION OF OBJECTS IN DISTRIBUTED INTERACTIVE SIMULATION MODELLING

摘要

FIELD: physics.SUBSTANCE: systems and methods for substantially simultaneous reproduction of a distributed simulation model at multiple computing devices comprise a first computing device which controls an object in the distributed simulation model. A second computing device generates a visual representation of the object associated with a visual status and said second computing device generates a predicted status and receives an update including new status from the first computing device. A portion of the predicted status is set equal to a portion of the new status, and a discrepancy between the predicted and visual statuses is determined. If the discrepancy is greater than the first threshold, at least one velocity of the predicted status may be modified. If the discrepancy is greater than a second threshold, the visual status is modified based in part on the predicted status. A new visual representation of the object is rendered based at least in part on the visual status, and displayed.EFFECT: improved device.39 cl, 7 dwg
