  15. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • Christie TotalVIEW™ 3D/VR Solutions provide high-performance display solutions for 3D/Virtual Reality applications, advanced visualization and computer modeling in the following markets: • Biotechnology & Life Sciences • Design and Manufacturing • Education & Research • Energy • Entertainment • Government • Homeland Security • Simulation • Virtual prototyping

  16. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • 3D/VR applications can range from bringing perspective to computer-aided design (CAD) drawings/designs, to simulating a real world environment that can be viewed from all angles and experienced in a state of total immersion.  • Spatially immersive displays use multi-sided rooms that you walk into, and an "immersive theater" or "immersive wall" that uses a large flat or curved screen that completely fills your peripheral vision.  • VR can also display real-world objects that cannot normally be seen, such as the shapes of molecules, air and fluid dynamics and weather patterns.

  17. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • The creation of an “Advanced Visualization” environment requires (3) key components: • Projection System • Stereo Video Converter • Advanced Software Tools • The projection is accomplished using the Christie Mirage series of digital projectors.

  18. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • Mirage product line of projectors contains 3 different series: • HD (1920x1080) • WU (1920x1200) • S+ (1400x1050) • Range from 2900 ANSI Lumen to 18,000 ANSI Lumen • All models are 3chip-DLP • All models utilize replaceable xenon lamp module (pre-aligned) • Much like other Christie product lines, the model name contains valuable information about the projector: • Example: S+2K - SXGA+ Resolution / 2000 ANSI Lumen

  19. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • 2 Different “Form Factors” depending on projector brightness High Power (12,000 – 18,000 ANSI Lumen) Low Power (2,900 – 6,600 ANSI Lumen)

  20. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • The PA Converter converts two incoming passive stereo 3D signals to a single active stereo output enabling a high-quality active stereo solution with a Mirage projector • Two analog RGB passive stereo 3D inputs via standard VGA 15-pin connectors • Input resolutions from 640 x 480 (VGA) up to 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) • 24-bit digital processing • Built-in link port to network multiple units

  21. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • Christie Twist™ Edge Blending & Image Warping Solution • Christie Twist™ is an easy-to-use tool to manage complex arrayed projectors that allows users to create seamless images on flat, curved or cylindrical surfaces. • Christie Twist™ is a dedicated, purpose-built hardware and software solution that enables full image warping and advanced edge-blending through the control of a Graphic User Interface.  • By manipulating geometry and blending, this tool allows pixels to be mapped to virtually any projection surface with proper geometry and perfect pixel-to-pixel alignment.

  22. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • Christie AutoCal™ • As part of Christie’s TrueIMAGE Integrated Tools, our automatic display system calibration can calibrate almost any arrayed projection display, from flat to cylindrical to spherical, and adjust it to its original optimized viewing configuration. • A checkbox interface makes interaction user-friendly, allowing users to re-calibrate both geometry and blending • The display calibration solution offers reduced location resource requirements and increased customer independence in terms of maintaining your multi-projector displays.

  23. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • Advanced Color™ • Christie Advanced Color™ uses an automatically guided process that enables advanced color matching regardless of the complexity of the display.  • Using a precision light meter, multiple measurements of each projector are taken and fed directly into the computer for an accurate measurement of the actual output of the display.  The computer performs the calculations and places the color mapping information on the projectors – that information stays on the projector until you choose to re-tweak the system.

  24. Visual Environments – Advanced Visualization • Christie MotoBlend™ • Motorized optical blending helps maximize system contrast and optimize dark scene performance in advanced applications. • Designed for use in static or motion platform applications, Christie’s optical blend solution is engaged or disengaged depending on the intensity of the image.
