Antycip designed the structure and configured the projections.
Displays #
This immersive room is formed of two faces (wall, floor) of 4 x 2.30m (13.3 x 7.5ft) Wide screens have been selected mainly due to the extra cost the addition of two lateral screens would have incurred. The wide frontal surface also covers the full field of view of the user, ensuring an optimal immersion.
The wall is illuminated via rear-projection, whereas the floor is projected onto using an optical mirror to reduce the bulk of the structure.
Projectors #
The system is equippet with two Christie 4K10-HS projectors (11000 lumens, mono DLP).
Stereoscopy #
With a frequency of 120 Hz, these projectors allow two sequences of images from the 3D scene to be interleaved, calculated with a slightly different perspective for each eye, in order to give the user a perception of depth.
Special glasses are required to separate the images and deliver the corresponding image sequence to each eye. We use Volfoni EDGE RF active 3D glasses, which are synchronized with the projectors via radio signal, ensuring a perfect and smooth illusion.
We have five pairs of glasses:
- one pair equipped with a tracking target for the pilot, which serves as a reference for calculating the perspective of the 3D scene,
- four pairs without tracking, for any spectators who can experiene the same illusion of perspective by standing close to the pilot.
Tracking #
Real-time user tracking is achieved using an ART DTrack system equipped with four TRACKPACK/E infrared cameras and emitters.
A handheld controller (the FlyStick) is also tracked. It allows users to interact with the immersion in different ways:
- configure and navigate the immersion
- target and annotate different elements of the scene
- with our OpenXR display manager VROOM, select and modify elements of the scene
Audio #
The room is equipped with a LD Systems Dave 8 XS 2.1 sound system.
