Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Licenses MASA Life Form for Enhanced Training Realism.
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA (May 12th, 2010) — MASA Group is pleased to announce that Munich-based Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG (KMW) has standardized on the MASA Life Form serious games development framework for immersive training.
“Krauss-Maffei Wegmann is a very demanding customer that consistently innovates and uses leading technologies and methods in a continued effort to provide the most realistic training experiences possible. We’re really fortunate to have KMW as an early adopter of our MASA Life Form product and services as they will help keep us on the cutting edge of innovation.” ~ Mark Phillips, Vice President International Business Development, MASA Group
"Krauss-Maffei Wegmann concentrates on very high fidelity ground based simulations for vehicles and infantry. This is critical in immersive training applications for MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) which require increasingly detailed environments, character AI and realistic animation. The closer you are to the immersive environment the larger the challenge to create a realistic training experience. We are looking forward to using MASA Group’s COTS tools for Character AI (MASA Life Brain) and Procedural Animation (MASA Life Form) so we can concentrate on producing results that exceed our customer expectations.”~Alex Baumeister, Manager Development & Technology, Training & Simulation, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann
