MVRSIMULATION - Key Persons
MVRsimulation co-founders Richard Rybacki and W. Garth Smith first worked together at a DOD consulting firm in the mid-1990s on a research project that involved connecting multiple offices to a simulation intranet using the DIS protocols, which were relatively new at the time. They witnessed the growing market for PC-based 3D gaming and saw potential value in developing a real-time texture-mapping visualization/simulation application for Windows PCs. The first release of Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG) was in 1997. Of course, back then they didn't expect the market to grow as much as it has. Among the early adopters of MVRsimulation's technology were the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army for training fixed-wing pilots and UAV operators.
