NCAR booth to showcase new Barco-Infitec technology at Supercomputing 2003
Phoenix – Visitors to booth R539 at Supercomputing 2003 will get a first-hand demonstration of the innovative Barco-Infitec stereo visualization technology. Also, Barco’s highly versatile, active-stereo DLP™ system is being showcased in SGI booth 835.
“Rather than using polarizing filters and specialized directional projection screens like conventional passive stereo technology, the proprietary Barco-Infitec system uses high-quality color filtering technology,” said Ken Hunter, director of sales and marketing for Virtual & Augmented Reality, Barco Simulation. “Barco-Infitec technology splits up the color spectrum to each eye thereby providing ghost-free passive stereo images without requiring special screens or electronic glasses. The system is powered by Barco’s industry-leading R6 3-chip DLP projectors.”
Barco is showcasing this cutting-edge technology to business, technical, and educational professionals from around the globe in the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) exhibit booth at SC2003.
NCAR will be presenting stereoscopic visualizations illustrating a variety of recent scientific research efforts from the study of meteorology, climate, interplanetary space weather, atmospheric chemistry, and astrophysics.
Demonstrations will run continuously, beginning on November 17 during the Monday night opening gala (from 6:00 to 9:00 PM); on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM; and on Thursday, November 20, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Stop by the NCAR booth for a personalized demonstration.
In addition, in booth 835, SGI will be using Barco’s high-performance, three-channel visual display system. This system is driven by Barco’s Galaxy WARP™ Active Stereo three-chip DLP™ projectors and equipped with 6’ x 24’ flat-wall, projection screen.
