Form, functionality, and realistic replication in a User Interface
GL Studio produces the highest quality gauges and controls for use across multiple domain spaces. Our software enables the real-time creation of interactive 2D and 3D geometry through a WYSIWYG environment, alleviating the need to write cumbersome low-level graphical code. Geometry creation is performed using intuitive tools for:
- Drawing
- Grouping
- Ordering
- Texturing
Designs are implemented using a powerful runtime engine which allows for real cross-platform deployment.
Full Mission Displays & Flight Simulators
Replicate cockpit multi-function displays at a fraction of the cost of procuring actual flight hardware.
Part Task Trainers
Reproduce complete aircraft cockpit layouts onto touchscreen displays enabling lower cost knobology training.
Instructor Operator Stations
Repurpose graphical content into iOS, repeater panels, and after action review stations for maximum benefits.
