====== uVIS ======

☛ **Position**: **Software Architect & Main Developer**\\
☛ **Schedule**: June 2015 - Feb. 2016\\
☛ **Client**: [[http://www.emt-penzberg.de/en/home.html|EMT]]\\
☛ **Team size**: 2 people

===== Project description =====

The uVIS software is a simulation system with 3D visualization support built on top of Bohemia Interactive Simulations Virtual Battlespace 3 (VBS3) and designed to interact with the EMT in-house Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) simulator.

===== Responsibilities & Achievements =====

  * I took over the initial implementation of the project as it was going out of schedule.
  * I redesigned all the Lua based classes with appropriate OOP patterns and generated more than 180 behavior tests to validate the application behavior early in development phase.
  * I replaced the VBS2 builtin support for DIS protocol with my own re-implementation of the protocol (in Lua) to workaround the limitations and bugs found in the first.
  * I created a dedicated user interface with IUP to efficiently test all the commands supported by the system (creating UAVs, placing entities, controlling weather, displaying HUDs and waypoints, etc).
  * I implemented a mechanism to conveniently start and control VBS3 scenarios on multiple stations from a single master instance for efficient network scenarios handling.

⇒ The uVIS project was already late on its schedule when I got involved, yet with the introduction of the behavior tests I eventually produced a stable and bug free system, which was then delivered and validated by EMT.
