Barco: solution provider in Virtual & Augmented Reality
Barco at the heart of new 3-D virtual reality lab for engineering research at University of Calgary
Kortrijk - The Calgary Center for Innovative Technology (CCIT) provides leading-edge lab space and state-of-the-art equipment for University of Calgary engineering professors and their students. Barco's MoVE (Motorized multi purpose Virtual Environment) system, at the heart of the visualization and collaboration lab will virtually take engineers, geologists and other scientists to the bottom of ocean floors, inside oil and gas reservoirs and other inaccessible places, including knee joints.
Barco’s MoVE at the heart of the visualization and collaboration lab will provide geologists, drilling engineers, geophysicists and reservoir engineers with new insights on drilling more efficiently, understanding geological trends, creating simulations of oil and gas reservoirs and improving productivity.
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).
BARCO Simulation, with headquarters in the US (Xenia-Ohio), and in Belgium - has gained an international reputation for its customer-driven solutions in Virtual Reality. BARCO's Virtual Reality systems are used for a wide range of application areas, such as medical training and scientific research, virtual prototyping, edutainment, manufacturing (robotics), Oil & Gas and architecture.
