The ReliaSolve Github page hosts an open-source Arduino-based latency tester project, Latent. It includes build instructions, Arduino code, and CMake-buildable projects to estimate the input-device latency and motion-to-photon latency for a VR application. It also includes a CMake-buildable project to estimate the rendering latency (render command to photon) using the Sensics/OSVR RenderManager rendering system. Latent […]

Visual Common Ground
Reliasolve started working with Dr. Robin Murphy, the director of the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue at Texas A&M University, in June 2015 to develop a Visual Common Ground environment to display 3D terrain models reconstructed from drone fly-overs to provide a space for disaster responders to discuss and plan. The initial goals of this project are: (1) […]
Loading model files into OpenGL
There is a library for “asset import” with a BSD-style license that has a Github repository at https://github.com/assimp (there is a fork of the repository on the ReliaSolve site at https://github.com/ReliaSolve/assimp where we put bug fixes and improvements prior to sending pull requests). The library builds using CMake. The Release version builds out of the box on Windows […]
AQT: Ultra-high-resolution video
ReliaSolve became a subcontractor to Applied Quantum Technologies on a DARPA contract to develop live streaming to multiple observers from their 250-megapixel and higher-resolution cameras. These cameras have 32 or more microcrameras, each with 1080p or higher resolution, streaming continuously to an ingest cluster. Multiple clients, each with a 1080p video stream, can pan and zoom in […]
Sensics: Open-Source Virtual Reality
ReliaSolve worked with Sensics on the OSVR project starting in September 2014. This open-source software and open-hardware project the adoption of VR. ReliaSolve worked on the low-latency rendering, device-control, video-based-tracking, predictive tracking, and lens distortion correction subprojects within OSVR. It also performed latency testing using a custom-built hardware latency tester capable of detecting differences between […]
Aqueti: Multi-camera systems
ReliaSolve started working with Aqueti in July 2014 to help them develop multi-camera systems for sporting events. The image below shows one frame from a 36Q imaging array (this instance had 32 pan/tilt/zoom cameras mounted around a boxing ring). Click on the image to download a loopable video file showing all 32 views. The system can produce live video while […]
