AgResearch HyperFarm

30 Nov 2019

Dr Seth Laurenson and Dr Remy Lasseur from AgResearch and Animation Research Limited (ARL) have partnered to design "HyperFarm", a tool to help landowners design a new future while also understanding the trade-offs. The HyperFarm lets landowners visualize using their land in different ways, and to understand how those changes would affect things like water quality, finances, carbon sequestration and bio-diversity.

Dr Laurenson said AgResearch and the land-based science sector had gathered a substantial amount of data to support farming and research over the years, and that this trend is set to continue at an exponential pace thanks to advances in sensor technology. Bringing this information to life with a high-quality visualisation tool will "help accelerate adoption and change", he said.

ARL's Ian Taylor says, "One of the exciting things for us about this project with AgResearch is it brings all of those things together. The data is already there. When you put that together with the visualisation, you start to see the future. You don't have to wait two years, five years or ten years to see what effect decisions have on your land. You can see it in 10 minutes in a really informed way."

An early development demo of HyperFarm was on display at Fieldays 2019.

TotalControl News

04 Jul 2019
Airways International and Animation Research Limited (ARL) first deployed the TotalControl Air Traffic Control (ATC) Simulator at the Airways training facility in Christchurch back in 2006. ARL has continued to build upon Total Control in partnership with Airways International, and now 18 Real-world New Zealand Towers have been simulated within a 'Full World’ model of New Zealand's airspace jurisdiction.

2011 was the first time TotalControl was installed offshore - for South Africa’s Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS), and today simulates 5 Real-world South African Towers. ATC Training providers in Spain were the next to benefit from the deployment of TotalControl ATC Simulators, and 7 Real-world Spanish Towers have been simulated. Airways International is now regarded as a world-leading provider of ATC training and simulation services.

In Lebanon, an LCD tower simulator and two surveillance simulators were installed and commissioned for the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport. DGCA managers and air traffic controllers undertook simulation testing and training in New Zealand in April, before the simulators were shipped to Lebanon for installation and commissioning in May 2019.
