Sundog Software Earns Coveted Spot on Gaming Industry’s 100 Tech List for Software it Developed for Military

Orlando, Fla. --- Sundog Software LLC, based in Orlando, recently earned a coveted spot on the “Develop 100 List” of software providers who are making a major contribution to digital gaming alongside Xbox, Google Glass, Havok Vision Engine and other industry luminaries. Sundog’s Triton Ocean SDK---an application that digitally portrays oceanic wave activity in startlingly vivid imagery that can respond realistically to digital stimuli ranging from storm surges to passing ships---was originally developed for training simulation programs in the defense and commercial shipping industries. Frank Kane, founder of Sundog Software, said the firm began marketing its innovative technology to the gaming industry last year. “Depicting oceanic waves realistically with varying conditions has always been one of the more difficult problems in simulation,” Kane explained. “Ocean waves aren’t symmetrical and they aren’t random, so any simulated depiction has to fall somewhere in between and show the influences of currents, winds, shore features and man-made objects such as ships,” he said. The Triton Ocean SDK application has become the gold standard for wave depiction in defense simulation, Kane said. “We are surprised and delighted to have earned a spot on the Develop 100 list,” Kane said. Sundog Software is a client company of the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation Program in the Central Florida Research Park in east Orange County and a member of the Central Florida STEM Council.
