Komatsu Ltd has renewed its technical and licensing agreement with advanced equipment simulator manufacturer Immersive Technologies for a second five year period in an official signing ceremony in Tokyo last week.
This agreement provides Immersive Technologies with continued exclusive access to Komatsu's confidential machine technical information and engineering staff, which is considered essential to accurately simulate their real machines to the highest level of fidelity for operator training.
Komatsu first signed the alliance agreement with Immersive Technologies in October 2006 following a yearlong review of simulator technology for operator training within the global mining industry. It was decided Immersive Technologies' product and support offering together with its integration capability provided the best choice for a long-term partnership that would drive the maximum value to its customer base.

MONTREAL, Canada (May, 2011)
Simthetiq announced today a successful integration of a new functionality within the VBS2 platform. The addition—targeted towards battle tank simulators—incorporates a fully working, dynamic clock (peri-UHR), unlocking an added potential to the vehicle’s optics which would normally have remained static.
The augmentation was developed during a contract with a German-based armament company for the delivery of a variety of fully capable, cross-platform, OpenFlight and VBS2 military 3D models. While Simthetiq has met the client’s specific training requirements and added the new functionality to their VBS2 model library, the success of this endeavour proves that out-of-the-box limitations can be surpassed with a little ingenuity.
Contact Simthetiq today and take advantage of the new optics and ultimately enhance your VBS2 experience.
