We are pleased to announce the release of Omnisim v1.2.0, our modular simulation framework
for high-fidelity, mission-critical systems. This version focuses on richer visuals and behaviors,
better camera and gimbal control, and smoother workflows for building and running complex scenarios.

Whether you use Omnisim for demonstrations, operator training, ML data generation, validation and verification
or research, v1.2.0 delivers a more powerful and flexible environment to build, test and train in realistic
virtual worlds.

What’s new in Omnisim v1.2.0

1. Smarter gimbal and camera control

Omnisim v1.2.0 brings major improvements to how you steer sensors and viewpoints:

• Enhanced GimbalController for smoother and more accurate pointing behavior.
• New camera control modes for switching between views and control styles.
• Added zoom-rate support, making it easier to manage zoom smoothly in dynamic scenarios.

2. Visual overlays and detection pipeline

This release makes it easier to see and understand what the system is “looking at”:

• Added a bounding-box overlay system with range-based drawing so entities are highlighted
  clearly in the scene.
• Introduced a camera detection pipeline, enabling workflows that connect visual detections
  to perception and analytics logic.

3. More realistic entities and movement

Human behavior and movement models in the environment are now richer and more realistic:

• Added soldier & civilian auto-movement to populate scenarios with dynamic human actors.
• Improved movement/physics model to better reflect real-world motion and interactions.

4. Improved workflows, robustness and content

We have also focused on making Omnisim easier to configure, extend and run:

• Improved plugin path handling and introduced a unified dependency loader
  to simplify deployment and extensions.
• Updated scenarios, terrains, start locations and SITL configurations to give you better
  out-of-the-box content for testing and demos.

Who benefits from Omnisim v1.2.0

Omnisim v1.2.0 is built for teams working on robotics, defense, aerospace, security and advanced research.
It is particularly valuable for:

• Developers and system engineers validating complex systems before field tests.
• Training organizations running realistic operator or mission rehearsals.
• ML and data teams generating synthetic data at scale.
• R&D groups experimenting with new concepts in a safe virtual environment.
