A graphical command interface that provides direct access to the collected data
Ease-of-use is an especially high priority for operational groups because they rely heavily on their software in times of crisis, yet have little time to devote to recurrent software training. Consequenty, RTC focused on developing intuitive interface technologies that allow even casual users to find the information they need with minimal training or exposure.
RTC developed a graphical visualization environment allowing users to quickly retrieve and view survey data. Analysts and planners can view the venue at any magnification and rapidly retrieve data just by double-clicking on a feature's symbol. For example, double-clicking on a route path starts playback of the route video and displays a synchronized tracking icon on the route path.
Users can also locate and access data systematically using traditional pull-down menus or RTC's screen navigator, an interactive and dynamic tree-structure browser providing impressive navigational and informational functionality.
RTC technology allows multiple data sets to be combined in the visualization environment to create "real world" scenarios providing an unparalleled range of information to address more complex mission demands. One minute an analyst can be viewing the video of a land route coming into a seaport, the next, be looking at a 360° view of the control room for a cruise ship in the harbor. Analysts and planners can model mission or event sites with the flexibility to access data at whatever level of detail they need to respond to the changing dynamics of a mission.
This technology provides the range of information needed to address the increasing number of missions requiring detailed site intelligence and provides the framework to create an ever-increasing library of data sets to centralize, integrate and share site intelligence.
