MANTIS® is Quantum3D’s Real-time Scene Management software. It employs a powerful client / server software architecture that facilitates multiple synchronized channels driven from a single host system. MANTIS is equipped with a suite of features that support communication functions, peripheral devices, displays, and multi-channel synchronization. The MANTIS architecture supports the full range of high-end IG features, including the new CDB native support, special effects, sensors, weather, and lighting, along with mission functions such as height-above-terrain and line-of-sight intersection testing. MANTIS’ features can be easily extended with plug-ins that offer additional capabilities. MANTIS is supported on Quantum3D’s high-end IDX Visual Simulation Hardware and on off-the-shelf PCs.
MANTIS is designed, developed and maintained by our Silicon Valley, USA engineering team. Contact Quantum3D for additional information on supported PC platforms.
