UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY, Calgary-Canada, 3-D Virtual Reality Lab
Case study
"The Barco MoVE's reconfigerable architecture as installed in the Calgary Centre for Innovative Technology, is unique in the world" says Ken Hunter, Barco Director of Sales V&AR. "A programmable touch panel allows for straightforward, accurate and fast, motorized positioning for flat, L-shaped, 45 degree and cubic immersive space configurations within 5 minutes". In a flat position the impressive screen of 9 by 2.4m allows for a complete auditorium to follow a presentation. The projection of the Barco MoVE at Calgary is driven by three active stereo Barco Galaxy 3-chip DLP™ projectors for high brightness, high contrast and high-resolution active stereoscopic images on the three screen modules of 3m by 2.4m (9.8 by 7.8ft).
The Calgary Center for Innovative Technology (CCIT) provides leading-edge lab space and state-of-the-art equipment for University of Calgary engineering based, multi-discipline research teams. Barco's MoVE system, at the heart of the visualization and collaboration lab will virtually take engineers, geologists and other scientists to any reality where 3-D data is available, including the bottom of ocean floors, inside oil, gas reservoirs and other inaccessible places such as knee joints.
"The outstanding stereoscopic visualization capabilities of the Barco MoVE" says Dr. Rainer Knopff, Associate Vice President of Research, University of Calgary "will lead to intuitive understanding of the relationship between complex data types, while real time interaction allows for in depth analysis, enhancing collaboration within the team, with faster and more accurate conclusions as a result."
The detailed 3-D stereoscopic visualizations of the new 3-D Virtual Reality Lab for Engineering Research will provide the U of C engineering researchers and their industry colleagues with new opportunities for working shoulder-to-shoulder to solve complex problems.
