Barco mini-domes selected for Boeing Virtual Warfare Center
XENIA, OH—Visualization specialist Barco announced today that it has been selected to provide four of its SEER™ (Small Environment Enhanced Reality) mini-dome systems for immersive training for Boeing’s Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) in St. Louis.
The VWC is a high-tech research facility that gives Boeing engineers critical insight into the physical and psychological reactions of the operators who use Boeing equipment in different mission scenarios. The new SEER domes will complement the existing aircraft simulator cockpits and provide more realistic, detailed, and compelling flight scenarios to the pilots in war-gaming simulations.
The SEER mini-dome is a compact and flexible visualization solution that consists of a custom 240°/270° spherical dome structure, multi-channel projection systems, sophisticated alignment and control tools and dedicated devices. The system provides constant eye relief over the entire spherical surface and optimizes out-of-window scenes.
“We are very pleased to partner with Boeing on this project,” states Al Herman, VP and General Manager of Barco's US Simulation activities. “We look forward to building our business relationship with them.”
