Despite these improvements, the Animus still suffered from lagged translation software, and was unable to prevent the Bleeding Effect over prolonged use. However, due to this, a catheter in the user's arm was required, in order to access genetic memories and link the user into the Animus itself. The external properties of the Animus also changed greatly, with the 2.0 returning to a chair-like configuration, while offering increased comfort to the user. For example, the background color of the loading sequence changed from an icy blue to white, with the entire region of a memory slowly loading up each time one was accessed. The Animus 2.0 was different in many ways to the Animus 1.28, both physically and within the three-dimensional reality it projected. She had began to develop it with partial schematics sent by Lucy Stillman, the Assassins' spy at Abstergo, and had improvised on the rest. According to its developer and maintainer, Rebecca Crane, her "Baby" was much better than the ones which were used at Abstergo. The Animus 2.0 was an upgraded model of the Animus that had been developed by the Assassins in 2012. The Animus 1.28 was not very energy-efficient, however, and was prone to overheating after extended use upon overheating, the machine's blue lighting flashed orange instead. When in use, the Animus rotated a glass panel over the head of the user, on which the genetic memories being accessed were projected. This model was notably used for the Animus Project inside the Rome facility's laboratory, and later in the Animi Training Program in the Rome facility's Animi room. In 2012, the Animus had been updated to version 1.28, and was created to be more comfortable than previous models. Over the course of the next ten years, the appearance of the Animus only received minor updates. The Animi room in Philadelphia was utilized to relive the memories of Assassins captured during the Great Purge, including Paul Bellamy. A large Animi room had been created in their Philadelphia facility, and another one later in their Rome facility. The newer model bore a closer resemblance to a bed and had a chrome-colored appearance, though a cushion was nonetheless used for the subject's comfort.īy 2002, Abstergo had also begun to produce Animi in greater numbers. Sung, subjects who were used to the model commissioned in 2000 would have difficulty interfacing with the newer model. In the two subsequent years, the machine underwent major technological and visual changes yet again.
This version of the Animus was used by Daniel Cross upon his return to Abstergo's Philadelphia facility in November 2000. Since the Animus' conception, the machine has gone through several major cosmetic and technical alterations, but even by 2012, Abstergo had not yet managed to perfect it.īy 2000, the appearance of the Animus bore a resemblance to a chair, and required a lot of external wiring to properly function. Vidic used it to manipulate the genetic memory of Subject 4 of the Animus Project Daniel Cross. The earliest known use of an Animus was in 1985, when Dr. Warren Vidic's leading authority on genetic memory guided the machine's development and so he became the overseer of the Animus Project.
ASSASSINS CREED 1 WIKI SOFTWARE
Although at least partially influenced by the discovery of the Memory Seals, the software architecture used by the Animus is not based upon them. The Animus was created by Abstergo Industries in the latter half of the 20th century, basing it on previously discovered First Civilization technology.
