Week 5 Technology Experiments

Experimenting with Unreal Engine’s ECS.
Initial Demo of Dear ImGui, a GUI library that supports Unreal.

It’s homecoming day here at UF! Plenty of progress this week with the threat of Hurricane Ian behind us. Our research has shifted into poking, prodding, experimenting, and debugging the application of technologies we are studying for CAE. As you can see, we already have some basic demos of the ECS in Unreal Engine. We also started testing Dear ImGui, a GUI library well-represented in the video game industry and promising for streamlining the design of our interface and analytics tools. Our meeting with CAE this week was also very productive. A lot of clarity was provided for the scope of our work in orienting ourselves around documentation, performance research, and simulation scenarios to highlight notable benefits of ECS. Moving forward, we have upcoming presentations to prepare. See you next week!
