Read all about this sophisticated training simulation and how AlphaPixel helped develop and deliver it.
FRAGG met last weekend in Louisville. Mike, Paul, Chris, Duncan and new member Scott dropped by. Paul discussed JAG. Chris demonstrated iOS development and osgEarth projects. Duncan and Scott both demonstrated somehwat similar projects (Scott using osgEarth) and Mike rounded out the osgEarth-fest with a demonstration of his amassed Colorado dataset. A brief discussion of
Front RAnge Graphics Geeks (FRAGG) will be meeting in Louisville, Colorado on the morning of Saturday April 20th.

With the generous cooperation of the original authors, Thomas Klein, Magnus Strengert and Thomas Ertl, we have received the source code to the glslDevil ( http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/glsldevil/ ) GLSL source level debugger. I have uploaded the source as I received it with no modifications, to GitHub: https://github.com/XenonofArcticus/GLSL-Debugger We have not yet even tried to build it.
The Front Range Graphics Geeks met for the first time in 2013 on Saturday Feb 9th in Steamboat Springs, hosted by Mark Mueller. Mark led a tour of his architecturally beautiful highly automated and energy efficient house he is engineering and building and showed his prototype high-temperature dual-mode solar collector design. Mike Weiblen showed off
