The USMC and Navy required highly interactive 3D tools to deliver complex animated virtual training and simulation environments for helicopter pilots, crane operators, and more.

Examples in use today by Rich3D clients:

- a fully lit and functional fuel management control panel...where fuel is moved and managed around a perfectly realistic and specific helicopter. The helicopter resides on a 3D stage, it is movable.

- the fuel delivery control quadrant levers, which move and respond on the same specific helicopter. Push buttons, pull levers...see fuel & air movement.

- a large truck based crane, with deployable outriggers. Interactive controls stabilize the vehicle and unfurl the crane to mimic real life use...this tool teaches operators how to not rip apart the real thing from the raw hydraulic power available.

Using a variety of 3D design tools from Autodesk and others, Rich3D developed and deployed the very first interactive 2D imagery driving articulated 3D content.

Golden Thread
The golden threads refined at Rich3D center around user experiences where 2D graphic elements are made to respond to user input. User activity triggers animated elements of the 2D interface, making a control panel come to life. This 2D interface then drives content on a 3D stage.

The content on the 3D stage is articulated, it moves and responds to user input from the 2D interface.
