SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLABLY ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE OF A TRAINING AREA OF AN INTERACTIVE TRAINING SIMULATOR
It is disclosed a method and system for controllably adjusting temperature of a training area of an interactive training simulator performing an interactive computer simulation. The interactive training simulator, such as a flight simulator, is associated with a non- simulated area (NSA) housing electronic components used for performing the simulation.

Hence, the controlled recirculation of the hot air into the non- simulated area (NSA) improves efficiency of the interactive training simulator and reduces energy consumption. The system also maintains air quality inside the training area by continuously monitoring non- temperature related parameters such as humidity, or gas, volatile organic compounds (VOC) or particle concentrations. The system and method disclosed herewith are eco- friendly in that they allow reducing the amount of electricity for operating the interactive training simulator, and as such reducing the amount of CO2.

DYNAMICALLY UPDATING A MODEL ASSOCIATED TO A SIMULATED INTERACTIVE OBJECT
A method and computer system for dynamically updating a model associated to a simulated interactive object in an interactive computer simulation comprising a computer generated environment. In real-time, a simulated behavior of the simulated interactive object is provided considering the model associated thereto. After reception of a request to modify the model, a new model is determined and validated by computing a validation indicator. The validation indicator computation considers interrelated parameters associated to the model and simulated constraints associated to the computer generated environment. The model is then selectively and dynamically updated into a new model considering at least the validation indicator. Subsequently, in real-time, an updated simulated behavior of the simulated interactive object is provided correspondingly considering the model or the new model associated thereto.
