The F400-HR is coming: prepare yourselves for the future of simulation!

On the morning of 21 May, Barco opened the Barco (Wuxi) Technology Co., Ltd. production and R&D center. The opening of Barco Wuxi demonstrates Barco’s commitment to deeply cultivate the Chinese market. Barco’s strategy is not only “In China, for China”, but also “In China, for the world”. Barco Wuxi will focus on Barco’s engineering projector business.

The Rørvik Safety Center, in Norway, provides training to shipmasters and personnel of fishing vessels. To offer them the most realistic training experience possible, the center recently upgraded its maritime simulator. At the heart of the installation is a large spherical screen. Here, our F22 WUXGA projectors display high-precision, lifelike images of nautical routes and waters.

The first 3D digital cinema onboard a new cruise ship debuted last month when the Allure of the Seas was launched in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. The largest cruise ship in the world boasts dozens of Barco/High End Systems products in several entertainment venues from stem to stern. Barco partnered with FUNA International, a leading cruise ship multimedia design, engineering and integration company, to create the dazzling lighting and projections to enhance theatrical, water acrobatics, and ice skating shows.
