Vizrt Supplies Lockhead Martin With Data Visualisation

News Image
Vizrt has collaborated with Lockheed Martin to develop the new Multi-Touch Executive Dashboard (MED), combining Lockheed Martin's real-time data asset management software, Microsoft’s Perceptive Pixel displays, and Vizrt's Viz Artist.
Lockheed Martin's MED-E (Multi-Touch Executive Dashboard for Energy) is designed to graphically illustrate layers of high-volume information about the status of energy resources, distribution, and supply.
Vizrt R&D teams in Europe along with designers and support in the United States worked with Lockheed Martin to design a system that would meet a high-standard of quality for data visualisation, while also being flexible in its application.
"In developing the MED-E platform, we wanted to push the boundaries of Viz Artist and Viz Engine as a powerful live data harvester and interactive visualization platform," said Petter Ole Jakobsen, Vizrt's CTO, based in Bergen, Norway.
"For MED-E, we're taking multiple silos of data sources and coalescing them into one final, scalable, big picture visualization representing all these different data layers. And we are doing it live when live data is available."
The MED interface allows multiple users to select icons that bring up multiple graphics and visual elements that they can then manipulate and interact with on Perceptive Pixel's 82-inch LCD display.
Viz Artist was chosen for use in the MED and MED-E visualisation platforms because its 64-bit environment features advanced data gathering tools and plugins.
The plugins allow designers to integrate custom logic into a scene, creating interactive elements such as click buttons or support for touchscreens.
"The MED platform can also be adapted to a wide range of vertical markets—such as medical imaging, military defense, energy exploration, geo-intelligence, and business information/intelligence systems and supply chain analytics—where knowledge workers need to make timely decisions based upon their understanding of relevant big data," said Matt Kier, principal project engineer for Lockheed Martin.
"Lockheed Martin and Vizrt have worked together on several projects and our relationship has been mutually beneficial. The Vizrt development teams in Norway, Austria, Thailand, and across the globe have helped us develop a platform that is easily integrated for our international customers, visually intuitive and tailored for any customer language.
"This collaboration with Lockheed Martin is incredibly exciting," adds Jakobsen.
"Together we're developing a solution to one of today's most complex problems, that of capturing, harnessing, and managing big data using a very user-friendly, interactive, 3D graphics-rich data visualization platform."
