Fujitsu, in concert with game developer Ongakukan Co., has unveiled the world's first full scale Train Simulation System using high definition video. The system is designed to offer trainees real-time feedback using HD video taken from the Japanese rail system. This system also uses a complex mix of computer graphics, sound effects, and other multimedia input meant to simulate unexpected situations such as earthquakes or power blackouts. Commercial versions are being offered to large vendors for 30 million yen ($290,000), but in the future Fujitsu also hopes to roll out other versions for amusement parks and museums.
