Technologies and Platforms

We Are Experts at What we Do

These are the libraries/APIs, technologies and domains we work in every day. Most projects combine several axes at once: a Vulkan sim environment renderer feeding a computer-vision pipeline. GPS and avionics telemetry in osgEarth, the whole thing running on anything from an embedded RISC-V core to an NVIDIA DGX. We have shipped production code on all of it since 2004.

OpenSceneGraph

The scene graph we have used since the beginning. We do core development, optimization, and long-term support.

OpenGL

The workhorse real-time graphics API. THREE decades of production OpenGL and OpenGL ES, even safety-critical OpenGL SC.

osgEarth

Whole-earth terrain and imagery on OpenSceneGraph. We build osgEarth applications and contribute upstream.

VulkanSceneGraph

VSG — the Vulkan-era scene graph from OpenSceneGraph's original author. We migrate OSG applications to it.

Vulkan

The low-overhead successor to OpenGL. We build and port renderers to it for tighter control of the GPU.

OpenCV

The standard computer-vision library. Detection, tracking, and visual navigation built on it.

Slug / Slughorn

GPU-resident vector text and glyphs at any zoom, with no pre-baked texture atlases.

GDAL / GIS

The geospatial data backbone. Format conversion, reprojection, and ETL for terrain and imagery. Wherever you go, GIS is there and GDAL is under the hood.

Mapping

Moving maps, terrain, and geospatial overlays for cockpit, ground-station, and mission-planning displays.

Local / Air-Gapped AI

On-prem LLM code audits on hardware we provide and own. No internet, no cloud, code never leaves your control.

CUDA

NVIDIA GPU compute for vision, simulation, numerical pipelines and Deep/Machine Learning/LLM/AI.

OpenCL

Cross-vendor GPU and multicore compute for heavy numerical and image work where CUDA isn't an option.

Python

Bindings, tooling, and automation around our C++ engines, plus data, scripting, and ML workflows.

Space Domain

The Final Frontier. Orbital mechanics, satellite and lunar visualization, and space-domain-awareness displays. Even Mars and interplanetary.

GPS

Positioning, navigation, and timing — including GPS-denied and alternative navigation for air and space platforms.

Telemetry

Ingest, decode, and visualize live vehicle and sensor telemetry, from flight test to satellite downlink.

OpenIG

Open-source image generator for real-time simulation. We extend and integrate it for training and mission-rehearsal visuals.

VR / AR / xR

Head-mounted and see-through displays for training and operations: OpenXR, stereo rendering, multiview, foveated, low-latency tracking.

LIDAR

Point-cloud capture, registration, and rendering from LIDAR and depth sensors.

Qt

Cross-platform C++ application and UI framework for tools, instrument panels, and desktop apps.
Nvidia Logo

Nvidia

CUDA, OptiX, and driver-level work on NVIDIA GPUs — workstation to Jetson to DGX.

AMD

Radeon and Instinct GPUs, plus the large unified-memory systems we use for local AI inference.

Intel

x86-64, integrated graphics, and oneAPI — including embedded and low-power targets.

Apple Silicon

M-series unified memory for local AI inference and native macOS and iOS graphics.

Risc-V

The open instruction-set architecture. We port graphics and embedded code to RISC-V, including soft cores in FPGA with extended specialized ISAs.

Why Choose Us

We are not generalists who also do graphics. This is the only thing we do, and we have done it for defense, aerospace, and space clients for over twenty years. When you need someone who can read the OpenGL spec, patch a driver, and optimize a scene graph in the same afternoon, call us.

We solve your difficult problems.

Let's build something great together.

Tell us what you are building and where it is stuck. We will tell you honestly whether it is something we can help with, and how we would approach it.
