Barco introduces VR Workroom with multi-source, stereo 3D windowing for multi-site collaboration at SIGGRAPH
Los Angeles -- Visit booth 1936 at SIGGRAPH in the Los Angeles Convention Center, from August 2 through 4, to get a first-hand demonstration of Barco’s VR workroom for collaborative data analysis and decision-making. This new solution introduces unique capabilities for simultaneous visualization of multiple information windows from various sources on one large canvas, including 3D passive stereo in a window.
Barco’s advanced windowing functionalities enable users to freely position and scale multiple windows with mono or stereo content from diverse external sources (video or data) and allows you to display all information available on the company network, wherever the source location. Frequently used content can be saved on the projector’s hard disk and retrieved on demand. Teleconferencing windows can be added and several locations can be visually linked for efficient collaboration.“Barco’s VR workroom allows you to efficiently retrieve any information via your company’s network or computer/video sources and display it in multiple windows on a large 16:9 screen, says Ken Hunter, Barco’s Director of Sales and Marketing North America for Virtual & Augmented Reality. “This direct access to information and collaborative viewing on a large canvas enables accurate analysis and fast decision making.”
The VR workroom display is powered by two Barco iCon HDTV projectors (one for the left-eye image and one for the right-eye image) for utmost uniformity - no blend - and superior detail (HDTV 1920 x 1080 pixels). Easy intuitive operation through the familiar Windows XP desktop interface enables users to access all sources and to control all content by simply using the wireless mouse and keyboard. Adding optical tracking and mouse emulation technology, the VR workroom allows direct, wireless interaction with the data.
Connecting several Barco VR workrooms to an existing network enables companies to visually link multiple facilities, saving expensive traveling time and increasing business efficiency. All information can be shared from a remote location on a large 16:9 canvas. Networked VR workrooms can be centrally managed and ensure a superior return on investment.
