DiSTI Earns Patent for Virtual Maintenance Training Development Process

ORLANDO, Fla. - Aug. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- The DiSTI Corporation, a leading developer of interactive 3D software and customized training solutions, has received a patent for the unique process that creates reusable virtual environment components for integration into a virtual simulation. The process, which is called the Distributed Collaborative Environment Definition (DCED), provides improved program lifecycle efficiency, rapid development and testing of complex systems, as well as a method to record and share knowledge among all members of the program.

Building a sophisticated virtual training system requires several different teams to first create and then integrate separate components and sub-systems. Due to the difficulties for team members to maintain adequate communication channels, the integration of components often proves to be difficult, costly, and inefficient. The DCED prevents these inefficiencies and difficulties by providing a new method that generates reusable virtual objects to be used for seamless integration into the training simulation. Comprised of a centralized knowledge management module, connectivity of distributed workspaces, a content library, and a content producing tool, the DCED gives members of the development team the ability to easily and efficiently create complex training systems without losing crucial knowledge that occurs with limited communication.

“Our core values here at DiSTI are to exceed customer expectations and to innovate. This patent award validates that our methods for producing the world’s best virtual maintenance training environments are truly unique,” said Joe Swinski, President of DiSTI.
