Verity Integrated Systems
As the sole VR/XR developer at Verity Integrated Systems, I am spearheading the technical development of virtual experiences directing warfighters through procedures for understanding and maintaining future-facing equipment. Leveraging the Unity and Unreal game engines to derive data-driven insights from concept development, refinement, and beyond.
Verity Hyper-dome
Dec 2024 - Present | Team Size: 2 | Unreal Engine 5
(Images and videos subject to release further in development)
​
Overview
Verity Hyper-dome is a virtual reality application currently in development at Verity Integrated Systems, an advanced Science and Technology (S&T) driven company providing systems design engineering in Huntsville, Alabama. The intent of the project is to leverage existing data and capabilities at Verity to develop and interactive data synthesis & visualization environment for an offensive strike missile system. My main responsibility is creating an asset pipeline to get data, such as trajectories, structural and thermal, from our aerospace engineers into a format that can be read and visualized by Unreal. This real-time data visualization in Virtual Reality allows our team to make data-driven insights during their design and development cycle.
Responsibilities & Contributions
-
Scripting all user interactions and interfaces using C++ and Unreal Blueprint system.
-
Adapting Cesium for Unreal to work with our use case.
-
Designing and proving an asset pipeline to visualize complex scientific data in the Unreal Engine.
-
Writing Python scripts for Paraview, Blender, and Unreal to automate data importing and exporting.
Features
-
Accurately visualize aero-vehicle trajectories on a to-scale earth model in real-time using Cesium for Unreal.
-
Visualizing critical analytical data (e.g., aerothermal, mechanical, manufacturing, and operational analysis) in the Unreal Engine for rapid data-driven insights.
-
Leveraging the capabilities of the HTC Vive Pro and Varjo XR-3 to visualize and interact with CAD files during development to allow team members to make data-driven insights.
MEP-1050 Generator Maintenance Demo
Feb 2023 - July 2023 | Team Size: 4 | Unity Game Engine
​​​
Overview
The Verity MEP-1050 Generator Maintenance Demo is a multi-user virtual reality project developed at Verity Integrated Systems, an advanced Science and Technology (S&T) driven company providing systems design engineering in Huntsville, Alabama. The intent of the application is to train users to perform maintenance activities on a MEP-1050 Generator in the Unity Game Engine. The foundation of the application is a dynamic task system synced to multiple users over the network. Users can work together to complete a series of sequential tasks in an immersive virtual environment for increased learning retention at a cheaper cost. While our demonstration was created using the MEP-1050 generator, the underlying task system can be adapted to any machine regardless of size or complexity. A demonstration of the application was shown at the 2023
Space, Missile, and Defense Symposium held in Huntsville, Alabama.
