Recently, the British company Improbable, which specializiruetsya on the development of software for the simulation of virtual worlds has received from a Japanese Corporation SoftBank grant in the amount of 502 million dollars. This event would have remained unnoticed if not for one thing: the money allocated for the creation of “the most accurate three-dimensional model of the real world”. Simply put, the creation of a counterpart of the matrix from the famous movie brothers, and now sisters, Wachowski.
Improbable was established in 2012 by alumni of the University of Cambridge Hermann Narulas and Rob Withadam. It’s now Improbable already used in video games, but “the Matrix from the British” will be used by governmental and industrial organizations to conduct various experiments and developments in the field of virtual reality.
Developed product is called SpatialOS. This system is extremely flexible and scalable, it can be run on the basis of separate servers, and within a huge cluster computing systems. According to representatives of the developer,
“We are working on some projects in conjunction with the telecommunication companies, government and industrial organizations. In these projects, created detailed models for virtual worlds that use real data. All virtual environment as close as possible to the real world. The new model will allow more sophisticated and complex modeling interrelated aspects of human civilization: transport infrastructure, telecommunications networks and much more.”
