X-TENDED Reality™ Overview
CATI X-TENDED Reality™ is the perfect merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments
and visualizations, where physical world and virtual world co-exist and interact in real time.
CATI X-IG® High Fidelity Image Generator display technologies are used to facility the interaction
between the user and the extended reality application.

For over twenty-five years, CATI X-IG® has been providing unparalleled rendering performance through
advanced software algorithms and optimizations. Now CATI X-TENDED Reality™ brings this
high-performance image generator technology to a Head Mounted Display (HMD) providing a fully
immersive training environment.
CATI’s X-IG® image generator is a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) product for PC-based visual
simulations. X-IG® is specifically designed around industry standard OpenGL®, a high performance
graphics Application Programming Interface (API), and OpenFlight®, the 3D standard format for the visual
simulation industry.
X-IG® is designed to render real-time Out-the-Window (OTW) and sensor scenes for training and
simulation, creating real-world high resolution photorealistic visual and sensor scenes. X-IG® additionally
includes special effects which complement the image generator enhancing scenes.
Currently in use with various military, civilian, and commercial customers, X-IG® provides high-fidelity
visualization for flight simulators and a variety of other training systems. Advanced data compression,
optimization, and paging algorithms allow X-IG® to render high-density, geo-specific databases of
unlimited coverage.
