United Views SDK

Tiltan's United Views software development kit (SDK) allows developers to design, implement and test a comprehensive visual presentation layer for advanced C4ISR systems. Developers can efficiently combine multiple visual data sources such as 3D geo-spatial data, 2D maps, video feeds and vector symbols and present them in a unified, coherent view to end users.

United Views consists of a comprehensive development environment that includes a core 3D rendering engine a 2D presentation viewing engine and a set of C++ modules, which together provide developers with all necessary building blocks for rapid implementation.
