Fujitsu Limited, building on technology developed in collaboration with Ongakukan Co., Ltd., has developed the world's first train simulation system using full high-definition video. The system is available on a commercial basis starting May 8th in 2008.
Through its technical collaboration with video game and simulator developer Ongakukan, Fujitsu was able to develop variable-speed playback technology(1) for high-definition video shot on actual train lines, the first use of this technology in a train simulator. The result is an unprecedented level of realism in train operation simulation, with accurate responses to the trainee-operator's input and high image quality even with variable-speed playback. This gives trainees a better approximation of the operational environment to help improve their skill levels.
The system is available via SaaS(2) services utilizing Fujitsu Data Center infrastructure.
Glossary
1 Variable-speed playback technology: Technology that can vary playback speed without changing the frame rate during playback.
2 SaaS: Software as a Service. A method of delivering applications as a service over the Internet.
