Computer architecture simulator
A computer architecture simulator is a program that simulates the execution of computer architecture. Computer architecture simulators are used for the following purposes: Lowering cost by evaluating hardware designs without building physical hardware systems. Enabling access to unobtainable hardware. Increasing the precision and volume of computer performance data. Introducing abilities that are not normally possible on real hardware such as running code backwards when an error is detected or running in faster-than-real time.
Virtual cinematography
Virtual cinematography is the set of cinematographic techniques performed in a computer graphics environment. It includes a wide variety of subjects like photographing real objects, often with stereo or multi-camera setup, for the purpose of recreating them as three-dimensional objects and algorithms for the automated creation of real and simulated camera angles. Virtual cinematography can be used to shoot scenes from otherwise impossible camera angles, create the photography of animated films, and manipulate the appearance of computer-generated effects.
Business simulation game
Business simulation games, also known as economic simulation games or tycoon games, are games that focus on the management of economic processes, usually in the form of a business. Pure business simulations have been described as construction and management simulations without a construction element, and can thus be called simulations. Indeed, micromanagement is often emphasized in these kinds of games. They are essentially numeric, but try to hold the player's attention by using creative graphics.
