URC Simulation Environment 2.0 now available

Title: Nachricht

The Trace Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has released version 2.0 of its URC Simulation Environment.  It is available at the MyURC website at www.myurc.com.

 

The URC Simulation Environment is a Web based simulation platform for applications based on the family of Universal Remote Console (URC) standards.  The URC standards are available as ANSI INCITS standards 389 through 393.

 

The URC Simulation Environment runs as a set of Java applets in any web browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla with Java Plugin 5.0 or later).  The user can launch a simulated TV, an alarm clock or a VCR, and control them through a graphical Universal Remote Console.  The communication between the URC and the simulated appliances is based on the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device architecture which allows for launching them on different computers in a network.

 

The underlying code of this tool will be made publicly available later this year.  It will be bundled as Trace's "URC Software Development Kit" which will also include support for UPnP's AV specifications.
